Floor Lamps and flowers

NEH

Really need to brighten up our lounge and i was wondering can anyone suggest anywhere online that does silk/dried flowers that don't cost the earth? We don't have a Dunelm Mill near us otherwise that would have been my first point of call...

The other thing is our Standard lamp or floor lamps as i think they're now called is on it's last legs can anyone suggest a place to buy floor lamps relatively cheaply? Our last one was Ikea but we don't live near one anymore.

Thanks in advance.

Why don't you try a request on Freecycle for a standard lamp (showing my age here). Car boot sales are worth checking out too as a first call for anything really - people often change their colour schemes and offload everything that doesn't fit in with their new look.

Thanks, we're really looking for two standard lamps (they were always standard lamps to me! lol) so i'm not sure somebody would have two to give away though we could give it a whirl thanks. We used to have two but the moving company broke one last year and i don't think you can buy replacement shades for the Ikea ones as i heard they weren't standard UK sizes (to be honest i find the Ikea lamps were always a bit dull no matter what bulb you put in it) . We have a lovely lounge and dining area at the back but it can be a bit dark in winter as it only has a window at one end especially if you're using the dining table area end iyswim.

I only know of one big boot sale here and that's only on during the winter months. Maybe worth hanging on a bit.

Sorry dont know about the flowers, but have you tried google? google.co.uk/search?sclient=psy&hl=en&biw=1165&bih=680&noj=1&source=hp&q=cheap+silk+dried+flowers&btnG=Search&tbs=search%3Fsourceid%3Dnavclient&lr=&as_filetype=&oq=cheap+silk+dried+flowers&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=s&gs_upl=0l0l0l5443l0l0l0l0l0l0l0l0ll0l0

For the lamps, Ikea do deliver dont they? Also dont forget to have a look for promo codes/free delivery codes from them, and I think they are on topcashback.co.uk too so that could get you some more money back

Delivery is £15, probably more for us as the nearest one is over 150 miles away. I don't think we would qualify for free delivery....

Tried Google but would prefer personal recommendations.;)

Just thought I would check for the google search as I dont have a clue whats a good price for that sort of thing lol

For delivery, you could have a look at using shiply.com
Other then that, play.com have always been quite cheap (one of the cheapest IMO) for most electrical's I have bought and free delivery of everything! So they might be worth having a look at, + you can get cash back from topcashback.co.uk with play.com and ebay, which might be worth another check as products are added daily
