The Beat That My Heart Skipped – A blog dedicated to daily design inspirations. By Rohini Wahi.

Not sure I will ever get tired of hand blown pendant lights and brightly coloured flexes… so elegant and timeless. I love this geometric ‘Friday Light’ from Germany designers Reinhard Dienes.

Oh! How charming is this new collection of floor lamps from Slovenian architects Bevk Perović Arhitekti? They are designed to look like puffs of smoke – what a gentle and sweet idea.

I guess the lamps can be viewed two ways, as puffs of smoke that are emitted from the everyday, or akin to the sun that lights up our lives in these situations depicted by the lamp bases. Cute, and hopefully quite cheap to buy given the simple materials.

I am really impressed with DIY brand B&Q’s lighting range for the home, as their range expands, their buying team are doing a great job with tapping into high street versions of design classics. All of these range from £33 -£79, and I think are great for adding interest to a spare room or hallway on a budget. Which do you like the best?

With the days and nights so dark and dreary these months, what a perfect way to bring some charm back into your home than with these pretty paper cut fairy lights from Hannah Nunn.

Hannah also produces table lamps, wall lamps, floor lamps, pendant lampshades and bespoke creations in this way for weddings and other occasions.

My absolute favourite out of her collection are these enchanting house lamps which have a street scene printed on. Some of the windows are cut away and light up when the lamp is switched on creating a cosy feel. I hope she makes more of them!

Showcasing their very first collection new company Petit Friture reveal four stunning pieces at Maison et Objet this month. The collection includes this exquisite glass and cork table lamp by Paris designer Pierre Favresse which made my heart skip several beats… it looks like a giant bulb! Gimme!
