It's no secret that lighting can transform a room, so few things get us as excited as a lamp that not only looks good when on or off, but is easy to move around to create the perfect atmosphere wherever you need it – no plug socket required. Our latest obsession? The Clarke and Clarke Isla Touch Lamp.

We've been shouting about the many virtues of the best wireless lamps for a while, and the buzz around them shows no sign of dying down. The newest offering available at one of our favourite high street staples, Next, brings all the versatility of a wireless lamp with the sophisticated style of a designer piece at the delightfully affordable price of £50.

This vintage inspired lamp features a solid round, warm metallic base, shadowed by a hand woven shade featuring the finish of the moment – a scallop edging with a rich, emerald trim.

Of course, looking good is just half the battle for a light – it does have to be functional, too. Well, the Clarke and Clarke Isla Touch Lamp has nailed the perfect balance. It radiates its surroundings, adding that soothing glow that's ideal for a cosy corner or to add atmosphere when you've switched off the 'big light'.

As we've said, aside from it's clear style points, the Clarke and Clarke Isla Touch Lamp boasts our favourite attribute of being wireless.

'Wireless lamps are a firm favourite on the Ideal Home desk - we just can't get enough of them whether it's for adding personality to a kitchen or adding light to a corner of a living room that isn't near a plug socket,' says Ideal Home's Holly Cockburn, who's previously waxed lyrical about how wireless lamps are the perfect addition to a kitchen.

'I wouldn't be surprised if this Next lamp is a sell-out item - scalloped edges have been a big trend for a while now and show no sign of slowing down, so this lamp is the perfect way to incorporate the look in a small way.'

So whether you're yet to jump on the wireless lighting trend or having spotted yet another corner that could do with plug-free brightening, this scalloped beauty might be the one for you.
