A CORDLESS lamp is a small home upgrade that can make awkward corners feel a lot more thought-through.
Marks & Spencer shoppers have been praising the Colby Rechargeable Metal Table Lamp, a £39.50 buy with a curved metal base, a matching umbrella-style shade, and a USB-C charging cable included.

Marks & Spencer’s cordless lamp can even be taken outdoors
Colby Rechargeable Metal Table Lamp, £39.50
The lamp is designed to be moved around the home, which makes it handy for shelves, bedside tables, hallways or spots where there isn’t a plug socket nearby.
M&S says the lamp has an integrated LED bulb, is dimmable, and lasts up to 8 hours at full brightness after a 5-hour full charge.
It comes in finishes including chrome and antique brass, with the retailer describing the curved cylindrical base and matching shade as giving the piece a “futuristic feel”.
One shopper called it “very stylish” and said: “It gives a nice glow with three touch settings available. Would highly recommend”.
Another reviewer wrote: “Beautiful lamp, perfect colour and size. Love that it’s rechargeable.
“[It] has a lovely weight to it, so feels solid enough to place outdoors”.
A third said it was a “great-value lamp”, adding that a full charge on the brightest setting lasted “three full evenings”.

M&S states the light is designed to provide ambience to a room and not act as a main light source – so this one’s strictly for mood lighting.
Some shoppers echoed that. One reviewer said it was “cute but not much light”, while another said it was “smaller than expected but a lovely statement piece”.Por
So the appeal here is fairly specific: it’s a neat little lamp for soft light, awkward spaces and renters who don’t want to trail cables across the room.
It’s also part of a wider home trend for small, portable pieces that make rooms feel finished without needing a bigger furniture spend.
The Colby lamp is available online from Marks & Spencer for £39.50, with standard UK delivery costing £3.99 or free on orders over £75, excluding furniture.
It feels like a smart buy if you want atmosphere rather than brightness.
If you’re refreshing your outdoor space too, we’ve spotted a bargain British retailer garden furniture range that could help make patios and balconies work harder for summer.
Meanwhile, shoppers after more affordable interior buys can also read about a Dunelm item that resembles an M&S version.
