Your lighting choices can significantly influence how warm and cosy your home will be during the cold winter months. Different lighting solutions can be strategically and selectively placed throughout your living space to create a comfortable ambiance for you and your family and friends to enjoy throughout this time of year. 

Choose varying light fixtures

Having harsh fluorescent lighting is not only brutal on the eyes but also makes any space look clinical. This is why we recommend that you invest in various light fixtures, such as a task-specific desk lamp and even a floor lamp so that you can better personalise the mood in the room. Incorporating a smart dimmer switch will allow you to adjust the light level in LED lights to dim or brighten the light, which can also dramatically enhance the cosiness of your space.

Incorporate seasonal lamp shades

Light-diffusing lamp shades help to reduce glare but also create a soft, warm glow that is highly appreciated in cold weather. There are various lamp shade styles to choose from. Usually winter time calls for darker, richer colours to complement the cosy glow.

Add more light sources

Even though there are less daylight hours during winter, you can still enjoy increased light within your home. To do so, we suggest adding more light sources. A great idea is to swap low-wattage bulbs with brighter and more efficient LED lighting options. To avoid flooding particular areas of the room with light, take measures to highlight key areas instead. A great way to do this is by using pendant lights which are perfect for drawing focus to a specific area, for example over your dining table. [DVD1] If however, you already have ample light sources, then a dimmer can help to create a more ambient feel or enhance the already available light.
