Ian Austick, MD at LED & Power commented:
“Lighting doesn’t only help to provide us with vision and security, but it can also enhance decoration and create atmosphere in any room – that is why choosing lighting for your home is massively important.
“As well as looking at trends in the home, we also discussed some garden lighting trends – festoon lights have shown to be a popular choice as they offer a modern spin on outdoor lighting, creating a beautiful look. Proving to be a popular choice for weddings and events, as well as around gardens, we suggest that you opt for warm white festoon lights to bring a cosy feel to your surroundings, or to create more of a party atmosphere use colour-changing bulbs”.
