Designer-look Matalan lighting collection brightens up homes
It looks like Matalan have officially taken the crown for affordable designer-look lighting on the high street
Last September the retailer entered the spotlight by launching an impressive debut lighting range. The first Matalan lighting collection showed great promise to light up the gaping hole on the high street, after we lost lighting heros BHS (*sobs*).
The new additions for this season, if you can believe it, are even better! With designer looking Sputnik style ceiling lights and Art Deco inspired floor lamps, the new range is perfect for adding a touch of both glamour and ambience to homes this autumn.

The comprehensive lighting collection features over 200 styles, across a range of pendants, table lamps, floor lamps, wall fittings, chandeliers, clusters and ceiling lights.
Here's our favourite pick of the new designer-look lights...
The Glass globes
There's a strong trend for simple, statement lights at present. A fine example is Matalan's beautifully crafted opal glass ball pendant light. Hung from a subtle metal flex and finished with a slender metal plate, this light instantly commands attention without overpowering a room.
The design has been adapted to make an equally stylish floor lamps and a cascading ceiling light.
