How do you know when summer has officially begun? Is it the smell of barbecues floating through the streets, or the harmonious buzz of the bees filling your ears? For me, summer begins whenever I have my first ice cream of the season. A swirling, flake-topped Mr Whippy, to be exact. There's no joy quite like it — pure delicious nostalgia. And now, I've found a way to bring that joy into my home, all year round.
No, I've not bought myself a soft-serve machine (though I could be convinced) — this sweet treat actually comes in the form of one of the hottest lighting trends of the year. It may sound mad, but as of late, we've been spotting more and more lighting designs that look suspiciously similar to our favorite summertime snack. With swirling forms and shades so sweet they could give you a toothache, these designs are full of the playful whimsy and wonder of a sky-high sundae.
