'Primark's LED light strips are such a great homeware buy! I have two strips of them in my kitchen and I regret not buying more as they'd look great under my bookshelves. For £1.50 they give you a soft, ambient light, which is so much more homely in the evening than resorting to an overhead light,' says Millie Hurst, Senior Content Editor at Ideal Home.

She continues: 'I like using the LED strips when I've got people over – since they're battery powered you can leave them on without worrying about bills (so you can use these lights as the perfect addition to your kitchen worktop ideas guilt-free), and it means there's always a soft glow guiding the way if guests need to use the kitchen. Budget-friendly, energy-saving and cosy: it's a yes from me.'
