Winter’s a-coming, Knightsbridge is still jammed with roadworks, and M&S has discontinued its famous chicken and barley soup.

Look on the bright side of life with a custom chandelier by artist Hans van Bentem of Rock and Royal. The Netherlands-based artist uses Bohemian crystal to create weirdly wonderful shapes that hang from any height. You’ll need a hefty £3000 to buy one, but for some that’s cheap for a walk on the path to enlightenment.

Show your true colours with an artist’s palette or let a shining globe reflect your worldly views. Prove you’re a fighter with a gun-shaped illuminator or get creative with a skull and crossbones, pirate ship or giant penis.

That should set your world alight.
