With the nights drawing in, there is no better time to start thinking about lighting your home and with some of our favourite shops offering gorgeous statement lights for our homes, we’re spoilt for choice!

Lighting can set the atmosphere of a room and is an important, but often overlooked, element of any design scheme. We’re smitten with so many of this year's autumn/winter lighting offerings but here are our favourites.

Oh, and if Father Christmas is reading this, we’ve been good all year and the Graham&Green bird cage chandelier is top of my Christmas wishlist...

We love this industrial pendant shade from Rockett St George. Perfect for kitchens that need that added edge.

For vintage and country design schemes, there’s nothing cuter than this teacup lamp from Next. Its delicate, feminine design means it will look great in a living room or a bedroom.

Next, £50.

So, whatever your design scheme, make sure you invest in some statement lighting this winter because there is something out there for everyone.
