1. Layer Your Lighting
Interior designers across the world swear by the concept of layering your lighting to create a welcoming and warm setting. Involving the use of multiple different light sources such as ceiling pendants, task lighting, and accent lighting, layering your lighting can create cosiness in even the coldest room in your home. By having lights at different heights, with different hues and dim abilities, you can have full control over your lighting.

2. Install Dimmers
If you don’t want to have to invest in lots of different lights in preparation for winter, the simplest and most cost-effective way to create winter lighting is with the use of dimmers. Aim to install a dimmer switch on all your main points of lighting and use smart LED bulbs if you can so that you can adjust the colour and brightness via your phone.
3. Avoid Harsh Ceiling Lights
Although it is ok to have one main overhead light, too many can keep the appearance and atmosphere of a doctor’s waiting room. Instead, opt for spotlights in the kitchen or bathroom, a series of pendants over a kitchen island, or a stylish chandelier over the dining room table. This will ensure your home has a gentle glow and keeps the cosy vibes, which is vital for the colder months.
4. Use Cluster Lighting
Similar to layering your lighting, clustering involves using your lighting to create areas of interest around your home. The use of just one type of lighting in any room is not conducive to warm winter lighting, so instead, focus on drawing attention to cosy corners with statement lamps.
5. Switch to LEDs
As briefly mentioned above, LED lighting is a great option for changing the atmosphere in your home. However, this is not the only thing they are good for. A more environmentally-friendly choice, LED bulbs can be found in lots of different tones and hues, making them ideal for creating cosy spaces throughout your home.
