This month I thought I would take a look at lighting now we seem to be
switching our lights on earlier and earlier each day. The Christmas lights are
being switched on too in most major towns and the Christmassy feeling is
creeping up all around us.
As you arrive home on a winters evening it is nice to have the outside of
your house lit up, for safety reasons first but also to make it feel welcoming
after a long day at work or shopping.
I feel it is important to create a harmonious feeling in a room, the
relationship between the furniture and the room can often be effected by the
lighting that surrounds it. To create that connection and make a room feel warm
and cosy have a light on in the hallway and in the main living room too as you
arrive home after dark.
Here are some of my favourite designs:
