If you’re looking for ways to cut costs (and who isn’t!), follow these tips to designing your lighting for maximum energy efficiency.

A new year is the perfect time to hit the refresh button on one of the most used spaces in your home – your living room.

With just a few minor changes and easy additions, you can revitalise a tired living room into an exciting new room that’s bang on-trend.

Our interiors team have curated their 4 fail-safe decorating tips for updating your living room.

1. Mix your trends
Whether your style is traditional, contemporary, Hamptons or Industrial, there’s no rule that says you have to stick to one specific look. Choose a few pieces you love and don’t be afraid to go bold with your styling by adding black lamps or pendants to your current décor. Black complements any colour which creates harmony and gives your room a striking sense of dimension.

Just like the interior of your home, getting the lighting right in your outdoor space can mean the difference between average and spectacular. When you know all the tricks, you can use lighting to landscape your garden so that it not only looks amazing, but also adds an extra element of safety and security.

To help you get it right, follow our 6 step guide to perfect landscape lighting.
