utumn is our secret favourite season. The darker, colder months bring comfort-food dishes and box-set binges, but also a chance to cosy up your home, starting with your lighting. By switching it up – everything from ceiling pendants to bedside lamps – you can transform your rooms, quickly, easily and all without breaking the bank.

Perhaps you desire focus and concentration in a home office, or calm and serenity in a bedroom? Here, we’ve rounded-up the brightest ideas from in store to help you shine a light on things.
