Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of controlling illumination in a household appliance (10) configured to store one or more food items (13), and a household appliance (10) performing the method. In an aspect, a method of controlling illumination in a household appliance (10) configured to store one or more food items (13) is provided, said household appliance (10) comprising a lighting arrangement (12) configured to illuminate an interior of the household appliance (10). The method comprises receiving (S101) an instruction to highlight at least a section of the interior of the household appliance (10), and controlling (S102) said lighting arrangement (12) to highlight said at least a section of the interior, thereby enabling a dual functionality for the lighting arrangement (12) to selectively light up the interior of the household appliance (10) and to highlight said section of the interior.
