Let the light in

Mood lighting and ambience go hand in hand when it comes to cold weather.

In homes that do not have log burners, lamps can become the focal alternative for recreating that warm, cosy atmosphere that feels like a rainy day and a cup of hot chocolate. Play with lengths and proportions in your home, with choices that can be as simple or quirky as you like. Flick a lamp on and watch an aura of calm encompass your space, to become one that soothes your stresses.
