Why Abigail Ahern’s Portables Are Flying Off Our Shelves
If you’ve ever wished your lighting could be as flexible and fabulous as your home styling ambitions, meet your new obsession, Abigail Ahern’s portable lamps.
These clever cordless beauties are the unsung heroes of modern interiors, and yes, they’re as stylish as they are functional! Whether you’re styling a bedside nook, lighting up a garden dinner party, or gifting someone a little luxe, these lights are a total game changer.
What Makes These Portable Lamps So Special?
Think of them as mood-setters you can move around. Here’s why we love them (and why they rarely stay in stock for long):
Cord-free convenience – No sockets? No problem. Move them from room to room, table to terrace, shelf to snug.
Soft, ambient glow – Not just functional, these lamps are all about creating that gentle, golden-hour feel.
Fully rechargeable or battery powered – Some charge via USB, others take standard AAA batteries (yes, rechargeable ones work too).
Designed to delight – From mushroom silhouettes to marbled glass and scalloped edges, Abigail’s attention to detail is unmatched.
Portable lighting doesn’t have to be boring. These pieces are the opposite of ordinary, and they’re the perfect example of how form meets function in the most fabulous way.
Meet the Lamps You’ll Want in Every Room
We’ve handpicked a few favourites from our Abigail Ahern collection, all available right here at HOME Harborough (or online if you’re curled up on the sofa).
Marielle Portable Table Lamp
New in and already a bestseller, this ridged glass beauty sits atop a wooden base and comes in three warm tones. Designed to cast a soft and inviting glow. It’s perfect perched on garden tables, console units, or reading nooks.
Cady Table Lamp in Apricot or Lemon
Cheerful, compact and irresistibly charming, this cordless lamp is like a scoop of sorbet for your room. We love it styled with rattan, linens and layered neutrals for a breezy summer look.
Mushroom Portable Lamp
Green marbled glass. Mushroom shape. An instant icon. If your space needs something sculptural but not over the top, this is it. Small but impactful, ideal for shelves or bedside tables.
Cecily LED Lamp
The golden glow of this dimmable beauty is so cosy, you’ll want one in every room. USB rechargeable, she is both sophistiated and stylish. Perfect for winding down or welcoming guests.
Why Portable Lighting Belongs in Every Home
There’s something joyful about a light that doesn’t need to be plugged in, it gives you freedom to style without limits. And in a world of endless scrolling and static decor, that flexibility feels refreshing.
Here’s how we’re styling them at HOME Harborough:
- In the hallway for a gentle evening welcome
- On outdoor tables (yes, they’re garden-ready!)
- In kids' bedrooms where plug sockets are out of reach. Our litle one LOVES hers!
- As a last-minute gift - they’re chic and useful. Plus they're mostly around the £25 mark which feels like a real steal for the quality.
How to Style Portable Lamps Like a Pro
A few tricks from our in-house interior stylists (aka the HOME team):
Always group with texture - Pair your lamp with a rattan tray, stack of books or ceramic vase to elevate the vignette.
Think beyond the table - Try them on shelves, windowsills, or even the bath ledge.
Layer, don’t compete - Use warm ambient lighting alongside brighter ceiling lights to set the tone and add depth.
Stick to a palette - Choose a colour that complements your cushions, curtains or artwork for an intentional look.
Take it outdoors - Hosting a garden dinner? These lamps are an upgrade from the usual tealights (and way more reliable).

“Gorgeous lamps at such a great price! I bought one that quickly disappeared into my daughter’s bedroom… and I’ve popped back for more. The Marielle lamp in Olive is now my go-to for outdoor evenings. Love the flexibility!”
