During these dark days before Christmas, we long for warmth, light and coziness. Discover with these 5 simple tips how you can transform your home and bring a radiant glow into the darkness.
1. Embrace atmospheric lighting
Transform your space into a warm oasis by choosing lighting with an atmospheric touch. Use candles, oil lamps and table lamps with soft shades. This subtle lighting contributes to a cozy ambiance and makes the dark evenings immediately a lot more pleasant.
2. Accentuate with Christmas lights
Add a festive touch with Christmas lights. Hang sparkling string lights both indoors and outdoors to create a magical ambiance. Place small lights in plants or on windowsills for an extra touch of Christmas magic.
3. Create bright spots
Strategically place lanterns with candles in dark corners of your home. These points of light not only add a decorative element, but also provide practical light where it is needed.

4. Reflect with mirrors and metallics
Maximize the effect of your lighting by using mirrors. Place mirrors opposite windows or light sources to reflect the light. Metal accessories, such as an aluminum candlestick or a chrome table lamp, also reflect the light. This gives a sense of space and increases the overall brightness of the room.

5. Warmth with Natural Light
Take advantage of natural light during the day by keeping heavy curtains open. Place furniture near windows and choose light colors that better reflect available natural light. This will help maintain a bright and inviting atmosphere.
