Lampe Gras floor lamp from Flinders

Lampe Gras floor lamp from Flinders - via Coco Lapine Design DCW Éditions floor lamp from Flinders - via Coco Lapine Design I love reading a good book or magazine before I go to bed and for a while now I was looking for a suitable reading lamp that I can direct towards me and that looks great in our bedroom. The DCW Éditions Lampe Gras N411, available at Flinders checks all of these boxes and I couldn’t be happier with how it looks like in our bedroom. The lamp adds a graphic touch to the grey, beige and natural color setting I decorated this room with and I like the black lines against the white walls.

The N411 lamp, designed by Bernard-Albin Gras can be adjusted in many different angles, so that it is always looking over your shoulder while you are reading, knitting or doing any other creative project. The double elbow joint makes this a very practical lamp, but also adds a graphic line to the interior. By arranging the lamp to a different side, a totally different shape can be created, which makes it very versatile. Rearranging the lamp joints changes the look of the piece as well. I chose the all black version, but the lamp is available in five different finishes.
Almost the entire DCW range is available at Flinders (The classic mantis wall lamp is another one of my favorites), along with many other furniture and design pieces, both modern and classic. They have a showroom in Zaandam, the Netherlands, and online shops in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. Their mission is to make extraordinary interior products available for everyone and their beautifully curated product selection is definitly worth a look. The Flinders living inspiration section is inspiring as well and a great way to see the furniture in an stylish living setting.

Mind the gap: Fit IKEA MALM over a tall baseboard

I forgot one thing when I ordered the MALM dresser : The baseboards in my apartment are very tall and very wide. So, when I installed it, I had a 4 cm gap between the wall and the back of the cabinet which was not aesthetically possible for me. As it is not possible to cut the back of dresser at the bottom to leave room for the tall baseboard, I decided that MALM should be raised. And it was much simpler than I had imagined. You’ll need: A MALM dresser (mine is a 6-drawer chest) Six oak bed legs (I think five would have been enough, but while I was there …) 6 mounting plates A piece of plywood the size of the bottom of the cabinet (I went to the hardware store next door, it cost me less than 5€) Screws White adhesive edging tape How to raise the MALM dresser above a tall baseboard Place the MALM upside down. Fix the plywood onto the underside of the MALM with screws. Predrill holes for the leg screws (if you have the same baseboard problem as me, make sure you measur...

Brighten up: A reading lamp the book lover will love

We already had a MAGNARP table lamp in the living room, but we were missing a reading lamp next to our couch. For a standing MAGNARP floor lamp, we didn’t have space. And the available other IKEA lamps were not for our taste. I already saw solutions with FRÄCK , so I decided to make my own wall mounted reading light, fused with MAGNARP. Here goes: IKEA items used: Steps for an IKEA wall mounted reading light: 1. Take apart both sets. 2. Cut the power line of the MAGNARP to be able to pull it out from the pipe. (Cut at both ends of the switch) 3. Cut the pipe. Besides the threaded part which goes inside the bulb socket you I will need approximate 5mm. 4. Cut M10 thread on the pipe’s end, and drill over the thread inside the main plate with M10 as well. 5. Bend the mirror’s fork as seen on the picture. 6. Mark the holes from the bent fork onto the main plate, and drill holes. 7. Make the electric work with a new switch. (I laced it inside the arm before doing so...
