If there's one thing I've realised since finishing our back extension, it's that the front of the house had been completely forgotten about as we slowly decorated the new part of the house. Come evening, all the light, warmth and life actually happens at the back, leaving the front looking, well, frankly, a tad neglected. It was giving haunted house vibes.
I set out to give it a glow-up ahead of summer, and that meant adding some nice front garden ideas, including solar lights in the garden borders to make it less derelict-looking. I needed lights that would create a soft, welcoming feel for when we (or visitors) arrive home after dark. Now I regularly check IKEA’s new-in section, and that's when I found the IKEA Solvinden LED solar-powered ground sticks, £12.
