With current trends including emerald green and velvet, we’re keen to brighten up our homes in any way possible, and with the darker days, there’s no better time than to make a feature of your lighting. By making considered lighting updates, you can help to create the perfect ambience and set the mood for dinner parties or general everyday use.
BRIGHTEN SPACE - By placing lamps in front of mirrors or on top of a mirrored table, you can instantly double the amount of light in a room.
LAMPSHADES - A simple makeover is to change your lampshade with the seasons. A good general rule is to go for pale, neutral hues such as off-white and cream in spring and summer, and then richer, darker colours in autumn.
PENDANT LIGHTS - If you want to create a focal point in your home, choose a decorative pendant light, which will also help to introduce softer, more atmospheric light to a room.
EMBRACE NATURAL LIGHT - Make the most of natural daylight by opting for neat blinds at the windows, which can be fully drawn away from the opening.
MERGE INDOORS AND OUTDOORS - Don’t abandon the garden just because the nights are drawing in; invest in some lighting that draws the eye out of the interior to the spaces beyond. This will extend the view from indoors, making the room feel larger whilst making the garden look great and ensuring it’s bright enough to enjoy well into the dark nights.
