Feather Lamps: Soft Lights Dressed in Feathers

With their incomparably atmospheric light, feather lamps are popular light sources for the living room or bedroom. The dense, large lampshades made of artificial or goose feathers give living spaces a stylish coziness. Here, we put the spotlight on the most beautiful feather lamps from our online store and show you how the Skaulo feather lamp looks in the apartment of interior blogger Vivien.

Eos Feather Lamps: the Design Classic From Umage

Probably the most famous feather lamp is the Eos lamp by the Danish manufacturer Umage. The Eos lamp with its lampshade made of real goose feathers and its warm, diffused light is a popular design classic. At Illumination.co.uk you can find some feather lamps that are similar to the Eos lamps in a more affordable price range. By the way, not all feather lampshades are equipped with real goose feathers. Many manufacturers rely alternatively on artificial feathers and thus achieve an equally beautiful play of light..

Why Feather Lamps are so Versatile

As you can see from our photos, feather lamps look completely different when the light is on than when it is off. But both variants have their charm. When switched off, the feather lamp in classic white looks wonderfully simple and clean. Those who like bright and friendly living spaces will love the lightness that feather lamps bring. The delicate, voluminous feathers make them look calm and gentle, but at the same time, they don't make the room look too sterile.

When turned on, they reveal their full beauty. When the warm light makes its way through the dense feathers, a cosy atmosphere is guaranteed! It is emitted evenly in all directions and exudes cosiness throughout the room. If you are looking for just such a cosy atmosphere, we recommend the use of warm white light sources with at least 2,700 Kelvin.

If you want to vary the colour of the light, you can also screw smart bulbs with a colour-changing function into the feather lamp. Then the feathers can shine in any colour of the rainbow.

To Which Home Style do Feather Lamps Fit?

Feather lamps are a great decorative object for white furnishings that dominate the Scandinavian style. Tone on tone with bright colours and lots of light sources - this is what people from the North love and inspire interior fans all over the world with their inviting homes. Feather lamps are made for such bright homes that convey a certain lightness, but also fit many other interior styles such as boho or vintage.

If you want to stage the feather lamp as an eye-catching focal point in the room, you can place a feather floor lamp in front of a colored wall - then it stands out with its bushy, white feather dress from the dark wall color and becomes the radiant focal point in the living room.

Vivien from "_whitehome_interior_" also likes it bright and friendly. In her cosy four walls, our Skaulo feather lamp has moved in and we think: The arc lamp makes itself quite wonderful in her grey and white living room. Vivien has tried different places for the arc lamp and shows that the feather lamp can develop its great effect just as well in front of a plain white wall as in front of marble design wallpaper - a real eye-catcher in her grey-white apartment! The feather lamp Skaulo is available not only as an arc lamp as it stands at Vivien's but also as a pendant and table lamp or in the version as a feather floor lamp.

Cleaning a Feather Lamp - Super Simple!

Feathers and textiles in the living room and bedroom are dust collectors. If the thought of the supposedly difficult cleaning of a feather lamp scares you, we can confidently reassure you. Because cleaning could hardly be easier: If a bit of dust has indeed settled on the spring lampshades of the lamps, they can be quickly and easily blown free of dust with a standard hair dryer.
