Even if you feel your home is missing that cozy touch, focusing on your lighting can make a world of difference. Layered lighting creates a more inviting atmosphere in every space. During the day, natural light works best. But come evening, a warm, soft glow is ideal. A helpful guideline is to ensure each room has at least three light sources. Combine table lamps, floor lamps, task lights, and ceiling fixtures. Opt for warmer light bulbs to enhance the snug ambiance.
One of my favorite winter night routines is walking through the house, turning on every lamp, brightening the shadowy areas, and lowering the dimmers. This instantly sets the mood for a comfortable evening!
