2. Channel the Scandi Christmas vibe
Christmas is less than two months away, which we think gives us enough of an excuse to start at least slightly preparing for the festivities. And – in our opinion – nothing says Scandi Christmas more than these Strala Lamp Shades.
We love the idea of hanging them in a window – you'll be able to enjoy them from the inside and they'll make your home feel extra welcoming for guests.
3. Use lighting to inject colour into your home
If you're a little colour phobic – we're looking at you, lovers of the white and grey interior – lighting can be a great solution for incorporating it, subtly, into your home.
This Tokabo Table Lamp is a great example, as its gorgeous blue glass will flood your space with a subtle glow that promises not to overwhelm the space. Plus, blue is guaranteed to tone well with more neutral shades. And for just £8, you really can't go wrong.

5. Strip back your lighting for an industrial feel
Industrial lighting has been everywhere over the past couple of years. And often with a pretty hefty price tag.
But that no longer has to be the case, particularly as Ikea have now launched the Megagram Table Lamp which has a super industrial and very vintage feel that (frankly) we can't get enough of. Oh, and did we mention it costs just £10?
