Haslam West

There are places that remind us that great interiors aren’t created by filling a room—they’re created by curating it.

A visit to Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge this week was a wonderful reminder that the most memorable spaces are those where every object has been chosen with intention. Light, texture, craftsmanship and quiet beauty all work together to create a home that feels both ageless and deeply personal.

Its the finishing touches are often what transform a scheme. A beautifully restored vintage lamp or a handcrafted lampshade isn’t simply another accessory; it brings warmth, character and a story that new, mass-produced pieces rarely can.

At Haslam West, we’re continually inspired by spaces where craftsmanship is celebrated and where lighting becomes part of the narrative of a room, not just a practical necessity.

The natural light and placement of furniture, objects and artwork at Kettles Yard were truly inspiring.

✨ What inspiring place have you visited recently that has influenced your design thinking?

When the heatwave hits, calm and cool interiors become a design choice.

Our hand-crafted Table Lamps and hand-stitched Lampshades, made in the UK, offer soft light and natural textures, helping cool a space visually.

These are products designed to breathe, balancing light whilst creating moments of stillness as well as style.

We hope everyone is finding refuge in this heat!

We are excited to be heading to The Country Brocante Summer Fair in Billingshurst, West Sussex this Friday and Saturday.

Join us for a gorgeous sunny day out this weekend The Country Brocante where we will be selling a collection of vintage lighting, handmade lampshades and a few carefully chosen accessories.

Head to Sussex and find us in the Artisan Tent ‘In the Meadows” at Rowner Farm in Billingshurst, West Sussex.

Prebooking a ticket is recommended at www.thecountrybrocante.co.uk

Some beautiful vintage lamps are arriving on the Haslam West website soon ✨

Each piece has been carefully sourced and lovingly restored, bringing warmth, character, and a richness of patina that simply can’t be replicated by new.

Which style do you gravitate towards — classic, rustic, or something a little more eclectic? Let us know!

Intricately hand-painted with colourful floral detailing, this petite Kashmiri urn lamp is full of personality and charm.

Paired with a gathered linen lampshade, it’s a wonderfully versatile lamp that brings warmth, character, and a cheerful touch wherever it is placed.

We especially love how beautifully it sits here against the blue painted woodwork of the bookcase. Photograph by
