The start of a new year can sometimes be an adjustment, especially with bitter weather and shorter days. So, if you’re looking to take away those winter blues, we are covering everything needed to bring warmth back into the home over the next few months. As the days are still very short it’s important to create an interior aesthetic that is inviting and warm. If you’re unsure on where to begin, you have come to the right place!
With some planning and a few lighting tips and tricks, you can turn your home into the ultimate cocooning sanctuary you’ll never want to leave!
Let there be light
As obvious as it sounds, a warm aesthetic can only be achieved by a warm light! So, make sure this is at the top of your list as light bulbs can make for a quick and easy update, transforming the look and feel of a room immediately. We would usually recommend a light with a temperature below 3300 degrees Kelvin, typically projecting a golden glow. Our Dar E27 4W Vintage Dimmable bulbs do just the trick, giving any room an inviting edge. Try and avoid a cool toned white bulb, as this is only necessary for practical settings!
Layer for warmth
Ensuring that your space projects warmth and character is a vital part of creating a cosy aesthetic. Whilst this can be achieved in a number of ways, layering light is an easy yet effective place to start. We recommend scattering a few lighting fixtures across a room, accentuating different areas and illuminating dark corners. Presenting a gentle yet flattering look, this kind of scheme will remove any stark or cold energy, welcoming those from the outside in.
Top tip: Focus on three levels of the room: ceiling, walls and tables
Offering a generous choice of different lighting designs and fixtures, here at Amos Lighting we have exactly what you need for a cosy look! Opt for something like our David Hunt Loxley Table Lamp to softly illuminate the corners of a room. Its vintage look and industrial profiling will add a classic edge to any interior scheme whilst uplifting the space with a golden glow. For the perfect layered look, pair it with the David Hunt Loxley Pendant in Bronze and Loxley Wall Light – this understated design is sure to make an impact!
Accessorise the glow
Whether you’re on a budget or not looking to update your whole room, that’s not a problem! There are still multiple ways you can achieve this look, and swapping out your lampshades is one of them. We’d suggest going for a shade in an earthy and warm palette such as red and orange but pairing a neutral shade with a sumptuously toned backdrop can do the job just as well!
If you’re feeling confident then go for a completely bold lampshade. Our Laura Ashley Hemsley Silk lampshade is the perfect match for a more statement cosy design. For those of you who feel more relaxed in the soothing colours of beige and cream, then complete your aesthetic with our Vondra Table Lamp and shade from Dar Lighting – the perfect cocooning addition.
No matter how striking and carefully planned your lighting may be, no amount of artificial lighting can replace the feel of natural sunlight. That being said, all our lighting certainly promises to boost your mood during these gloomier months and provide a truly comfortable place for you to hibernate away in. We hope this helped you consider a cosy look for your home, do let us know how you get on!
