But if you want lighting that really stands out from the crowd, it has to be Feiss Limited Editions every time.

Choosing the lighting for your home isn’t always easy. Aside from anything else, you have an enormous amount of choice. And while that is, theoretically, a good thing, increasing the likelihood that you’ll actually find what you have in mind, it can make decision-making harder. Choosing matching lighting sets is one of the easier options. But there are a few things you need to keep in mind when doing so.

Filament bulbs are everywhere just now. They came into fashion about 10 years ago, but back then, they were monstrously expensive. You could spend £40, £50, or even £60 on a single bulb, and they weren’t very energy efficient. But now, the technology has evolved. Filament light bulbs are available in a whole range of styles for a whole range of fittings, making them far more accessible. But are they just another lighting trend? Or should you consider using them in your home?

Launched in 1999, the PANTONE Colour of the Year is one of the greatest marketing ploys ever, cementing PANTONE as the industry authority on colour matching. But it’s also an event that designers from every sector look forward to. Setting the tone for the next year’s trends, PANTONE are colouration legends. And in December 2023, they named the shade that would dominate 2024: move over Vivid Magenta – everything is looking peachy!

Lighting plays an important role not only in how your home looks and feels, but how you use it. Your lights not only have to be functional, but they have to be comfortable. They have to provide the right illumination to suit your needs. And they need to work with the wider aesthetic of your home. So, while recently the focus has increasingly been on lighting as a statement and lighting as art, is there still room for subtlety? And could recessed ceiling lights be the best lighting solution for your home?

Choosing bathroom lighting can be a tricky balance between form and function. There are so many choices, it can feel overwhelming. Of course, you want your bathroom to look good. But you also need a functional space, with lights that meet all of your needs – from showering, shaving, and putting on your makeup, to the ultimate relaxing bathtime routine. Striking that balance isn’t always easy. But with Astro bathroom lighting, you never need to compromise.

Your breakfast bar can be one of the most useful parts of your home. It not only provides convenient seating for quick meals, but you can use it for entertaining, food prep, as a study area for the kids, for large-scale crafting projects, or almost anything else you can think of! But to make it as practical and convenient as possible, you need to pay close attention to breakfast bar lighting.

The cool convenience of touch lamps has made them incredibly popular. They’re fun to use, even for adults, bringing a sense of sci-fi into the home. But available in a whole range of designs, the technology doesn’t outshine the style, meaning that it’s really easy to find a touch lamp to suit every room of your home.

Having the right lighting can have a huge impact on your business. It can influence everything from employee productivity to how your customers view you. So, what are the most important considerations when choosing commercial lighting? And how can you make the lighting for your business better?

Uplighting can look incredible if used well. But it’s not always obvious how best to incorporate it into your home. Do you need banks of uplighters, like you see in swish hotels? Or can you use them individually? And where should they be situated? Do they need to be inset at ground level, or can they be plugged in like lamps, or wall mounted?
