As well as framing the door and highlighting the shapes of the home, this terrace design uses spotlights above the social area.
Accentuate the stairs
Did someone say hallway goals? Get a look that's sleek, modern and practical for night-time wandering by adding LED strips along the length of tread down a modern staircase. The hallway is a great place to have fun, so why not make a statement by choosing a different colour such as this teal blue or even go for colour-changing LED strip lights?
Enhance a kitchen recess
Combine form and function by installing LED strip lights into the recess areas of kitchens. When teamed with other kitchen lighting solutions, they act as purposeful and practical task lights for cooking and cleaning while also creating a charming atmosphere.
Try Philips Hue light strips for colour
Colour therapy is proven to have a real effect on how our brains work and our natural biorhythms, and Phillips has developed their Hue light strips so you can customise your living space. Wind down for bed with soothing orange or perk up in the morning with a flash of blue. The versatile strips mean there are no rules when it comes to decorating!
Brighten dark corners
LED strip lights can be easily cut to size or connected to fit perfectly under pieces of furniture, so it looks as though your accent lighting has been expensively custom-made. You don't need to keep bending down to switch them on either, as many come with handy remote controls. Placing LED light strips under cabinets and dressers will maximise the feeling of space.
Illuminate alcoves
Use LED strip lights in your décor to really amp up the feel of your living room. It's an attractive and original way of highlighting interesting architectural features.

Declutter the home office
Downlighting a desk with LED strip lights will add a practical finish to your home office.

Another idea is to use them around a notice board to highlight your schedule for the day.

Make outdoor steps visible
Welcome guests up the garden path with inviting LED strips set under the stone treads of front doorsteps. The structured and luminous glow will light the way to the door and make your entrance look super stylish, creating instant kerb appeal.
Light up dark drawers
Make dark closets, cupboards and drawers easier to search through by applying a reel of LED strip lighting to the inside. You can avoid the hassle of turning the LED emitters on and off by choosing motion-activated designs so that the light is only turned on when you need it.
See clearly with a vanity mirror
Make a play on glamorous Hollywood-style light bulb mirrors for a fraction of the price with an LED vanity mirror kit. Simply attach to the mirror frame with double-sided tape to recreate daylight and make sure you always look your best.
Make bunk beds fun
Children and teenagers love to design their own spaces, and this colourful LED-lit space is sure to appeal.

Intensify artwork
Adding LED strips to the back of artwork as backlighting will make it even more striking. LED bulbs don't emit harmful rays or excessive heat so are safe to attach to paintings. Or why not create DIY Plexiglass light-up photo frames to showcase treasured snaps of loved ones?
Shine on a desk area
Attach strip lights to the underside of shelving in an open-plan living room to zone off a section of the space. Here, a home office area has been highlighted beautifully, with the gentle downlighting not only looking stylish but providing functional task lighting that won't interfere with the rest of the room when you need to work.
Cast light from the bath
Turn your bathroom into a spa-style sanctuary with LED strip lights. As well as underlighting a bathroom mirror or cabinet, add a relaxing glow to your bathtub by applying a length of waterproof LED tape just under the panel. Surrounded by a soft glow and warm bubbles, you won't want to leave.
Light up the flowerbeds
Make flowerbeds look curvaceous and luminous by framing lawn edges with waterproof LED strips or rope lighting. Then, pop extra spotlights within the foliage for a winning show-garden look. LED lights also look delightful wrapped around tree trunks.
Deck out the decking
Illuminated garden decking will make the patio area ambient and inviting at dusk. Look for specialised landscape versions that are easy to install and have a waterproof plug-and-play design to change the colour with the mood you want to create. A soft warm yellow glow will make the space feel intimate and relaxed or go for neon purples and pinks to evoke a pool party atmosphere.
Highlight your garden furniture
Lighting up your garden furniture will bring a cosy and warm vibe to your patio area as the night draws in. Concealed under the seating area, LED strip lights wash light across the patio in this garden.
Upgrade your tech
Adding LED strips to the back of screens such as your television not only looks cool but also helps to relieve eye strain by offsetting the screen brightness. Known as 'bias lighting', you may find that using LEDs around computer screens and TVs mean you have a greater intensity of colour and contrast, which will improve picture quality.
Enliven the ceiling
LED ceiling lights can create a subtle lighting twist in any room. Decorative cornices, pictures rails or ceiling coving will house the LED strip lighting and offer a streamlined downlight. The colour choice will make a difference to the room style; soft white or yellow can look warming and ornate, or opt for navy blue or green for a more contemporary and bold feature.
Add ambience in the kitchen

LED strip lights attached under kitchen cabinets are probably the most common and practical position for these useful little light circuits as they create an extra layer of illumination, especially in small or dark kitchens. The light will highlight feature splashbacks and can be installed at a fraction of the price of standard fitted versions.

While LED strip lights attached to kitchen cabinets and plinths are a fairly common sight, why not up the luxury by adding additional LED bulb strips into the curve of J-pull drawers and cupboards? This looks especially effective combined with gloss surfaces because the reflective finish bounces the light and creates a sleek and contemporary shine.
Bring about a banister glow
Installing an LED strip light to the underside of a stair banister can create a floating effect that's impressive but simple to achieve. My Mindful Home created this handy DIY light feature by integrating the cables into the wall so they're not visible. The blogger also attached a Philips Smart Home Lighting Motion Sensor, so the lights automatically turned on or off when someone entered or left the house – clever!
Switch on a reading light

Attach strip lights to a bed's headboard to provide an ambient reading light that's softer than bedside table lamps. Your partner will thank you if they want to go to sleep while you read plus they'll gently highlight and make a feature of the headboard, too.
Energise a plain scheme
LED lights make fun features in rooms that perhaps lack character or work well in rental properties that can't be altered too much. This colourful blue strip attached to the bottom of a modular bookcase adds modern mood lighting to this small living room space. Best of all, it can then be removed without a trace.
Impress with a rosy glow

Showcase display cabinets
Turn everyday cabinets into softly lit displays by adding strips of LED lights to the top or bottom. Install glazed doors to keep your favourite pieces fully protected and dust-free.
Highlight kitchen features
LED strip lights used as down lighting on kitchen kickboards and plinths create a stylish ambience once the main light goes off. If you've recently laid an on-trend statement floor then they're an economical must-have addition to show off your new look.
Make wardrobes glamorous
Add some sparkle to fitted furniture by framing bedroom closets with LED lighting. The warm glow gives the space some glamour and creates gentle inviting elegance.
Let the shower shine
Wanting to create a beautiful bathroom on a budget? Lighting a shower cubical with LED strip lights will add a hotel-style finish to your bathroom. LEDs are generally splash-proof but stay on the safe side and opt for waterproof LED strip lighting instead – then use them to highlight tiled alcove shelving or create a futuristic look by framing the edge of the shower screen or shower tray.
Electrify with funky features
The adaptable nature of LED lighting makes it an effective material to get creative with. This awesome green cactus light has been fashioned by fastening a neon LED rope light to a black metal grid using a template and plastic cable ties. Branches of faux leaves finish the wall art with a tropical vibe. Make one for yourself with this video tutorial fromFestive Lights.
Floodlight a wine cellar

Give a bespoke piece of storage the stage presence it deserves. This stylish wine store would otherwise look dark and nondescript built under the stairs but LED light strips inside the door frame definitely add some wow-factor.
Light up shelving
LED strip lights added to shelves above or beneath is probably the easiest hack to do and can be used to highlight family photos, accessories and books with an ambient glow. The LEDs generally operate on a low wattage so make a soothing nightlight when used on shelving in children's bedrooms, too.
Create a statement wall
LED lighting can be used almost anywhere to create a real statement. This fluted panel design by Designer Walls helps you make the walls of any room the main focal feature.
