An easy way to hang string lights — no tree required

Whether you're preparing for an intimate dinner or a party buffet, why not give the table lighting some extra attention? Creating a festive vibe that makes your guests feel welcome couldn't be easier — all you need is a simple setup with dimmable table lamps and a decorating rod draped with a glowing lighting chain.

A warm, glowing welcome to the table

String lights can also be used to welcome your guests and show them the way to where the action is. This particular lighting chain is battery operated and doesn't have to be connected to the mains supply, so it's easy hanging a few just how you like.

Cordless magic

Make nighttime hangouts with your favourite people even more cosy by turning a nearby tree into a magical ceiling of lights. Just hang some solar and battery-operated lamps or string lights from it. It's a game-changer!

Levels of lounge lights

There are many ways to use lighting to set a relaxed and inviting atmosphere in your lounge area. Why not try this setup with several low floor lamps as a base, and then decorating the space above with soft-glowing LED candles and a lighting chain or two?

Let there be light, anywhere you like

Hassle-free, cordless lamps that are easy to place wherever you need a touch of light are great for outdoor spaces. Some of them are battery operated while others are solar powered and charge during the day to light up your evenings.
