We know the struggle: power outlets never seem to be located anywhere near the place you need them to be!
And sometimes, even when they are, having a lamp in that spot would result in an unaesthetic cable in the middle of the room.
Luckily, cordless lamps lit up the way to many more functional and decorative possibilities!

They can light up your garden and patio too, without ruining the whimsical atmosphere that a bright overhead light would spoil:
