Laura Ashley did not start out with her own line of lighting fixtures. She started in her humble home where she
lived in England with her husband. Around the middle nineteen fifties Laura was wiped out by the flooding of the
Derwent River overflowing. By then she was well on her way to being a house hold name with her beautiful prints and
fabrics. Laura Ashley lighting was started many years after her passing in nineteen eighty five.
Laura Ashley lighting can be found in most department stores and discount houses. The line carries many
different lamps and chandeliers. One is called the Cherry Blossom 5 arm chandelier. It is made of steel pretty
wrought iron flowers entwined throughout. The colors are quite nice of antique pale sage and pink. There are a
number of different styles in this line alone.
Another Laura Ashley lighting line has mini chandeliers. They will go into a small bedroom or dining room. They
come in a variety of shapes and colors. How pretty a mini chandelier would look in a girl’s room all pink and
frilly? The chandeliers in the Laura Ashley lighting collection is mind boggling. There are so many to choose from,
some people might be intimidated by the selection. There are choices from the very simple to the ultra fancy. Some
have just a few crystals others have thousands of them. Some crystals are even colored, adding pretty hue to the
room.
Lamps in the Laura Ashley lighting collection are very lovely. The designs range from tall and skinny ones, to
short, fat or round ones. There are different lamps and table lamps with shades to match any décor. They are also
fancy ones that will add that special touch to the room they are in.
The collection of Laura Ashley lighting has one special lamp called the birdcage complete lamp. It looks like a
gilded birdcage with so many sparkling suspended glass droplets. It hangs from the ceiling as a plant hanger would
and would fit just right in that empty corner.
There is a lamp shade in the Laura Ashley lighting collection that is an unusual shaped shade. It looks like
someone took a bunch of material and pleated it all together. It has a beaded swag on the bottom that looks like
diamonds. It is for a large lamp to set on an end table or two. Or some people will hang it as a chandelier, giving
the room a different look all together.
Found in the Laura Ashley lighting collection are floor lamps of many designs. Some are very simple, great
behind a reading chair. Others are made of glass balls sitting on top of each other. The choices are many and there
is one out there just right for your home or office. The prices in the Laura Ashley lighting collection vary.
Depending on where you are putting the lamp or hanging that chandelier will determine the price. As her clothing
line reflects softness so does her collection of lamps and chandeliers. They give the feeling of fragileness and
will soften a room, no matter where it is put.
