TRENDING . . . SNAP HAPPY Lumitrix (00-44-07798- 530- 479, lumitrix.com) is a UK-based online gallery and photographic resource for homeowners looking to fill their walls with dramatic, affordable imagery. The photographers represented include Matilda Temperley (fashion designer Alice’s little sister) whose work focuses on dancers, and Dave Watts, a previous winner of the Sony World Photography Awards. Leonid Tishkov’s shots are particularly ambient for this time of year. Magdalene Fjord (right) will add real atmosphere to rooms. The images are all A1 size (84.1cm by 59.4cm), limited editions of 500 and lithographically printed on 250g silk paper. They cost about £50 (€62). Delivery to Dublin is an additional £5.80 (€6.85). A framing service is also available.

THREE OF THE BEST . . . LIGHTING UP TIME This Lumin Art candlelight fireplace can, with the right styling, really add to a room. The canvas, if set flush with the wall, will act as an optical illusion that will add warmth to a room. Hidden behind each flame is a flickering LED to mimic the light and movement of a real candle. The candles are set into a custom-sized brick fireplace and, if you design the wall around it properly, could be a real talking point. It costs £14.95 (€17.83) from Red 5 (00-44-14826-38900, Red5.co.uk).

The sconce,35cm by 46cm, costs £145 (€173) and can be bought online from the French bedroom Company (00-44-84564-48022, frenchbedroomcompany.co.uk).
