Good lighting is essential in creating the right atmosphere, but the optimum wattage isn’t all that matters when picking out the perfect light to suit a space. Flick through the gallery to see the latest in lighting trends that won’t hurt your pocket?

Industrial chic is going strong, but note the softened metallic and pastel tones for a spring update. Clamp lights are all the rage; try attaching them to ladders, mantelplaces or bookshelves for a contemporary feel, and remember: neon never looses its shine. (Top tip ?keep those lightbulbs bare and vintage-inspired wherever possible!)
