The days are getting shorter.
Night creeps in earlier.
You want a warm, soft glow around you while you’re curled up on the couch, playing games at the dining table, or resting beneath the stars.
This is where the perfect lamp, or two, can create the atmosphere you’re looking for.
Lighting isn’t just functional; it shapes your mood, enhances your spaces, and adds warmth to every corner of your home.
As the weather cools and we spend more time inside, thoughtful lighting choices are essential for comfort.
Here’s a guide to help you decide which lamps to choose to achieve the perfect mood lighting.
Floor lamps
When choosing floor lamps, consider the space and what shape and size you’ll need. For instance, does it need to stand tall over a couch or armchair, like Catlar? Or, should it act as a standalone sculptural feature, like Marga?
Table lamps
Table lamps can have any number of uses – something soft for late-night conversations or bright enough to read by in bed. These two lamps will look very different to each other.
If you’re after lighting that’s easy on the eyes, consider lamp shades that either softly diffuse the light, like Nessi, or point it downwards, like Tandy.
If you like to read well into the night, you’ll need something brighter, with a more direct light stream. Consider a lamp like Mijal, which directs light both down and up.
Or, you could opt for a table lamp whose only use is a beautifully colourful, mood-setting glow. Reig’s colourful glass and retro-inspired shape subtly plays with light and adds a fun touch to your home decor.
Outdoor lamps
For your outdoor ambience, it’s helpful to consider all the above points, on top of the biggest element – power supply. While in some cases you may be able to hardwire ceiling lights to your outdoor patio, it may often be the case that you need to rely on solar-powered lamps.
Reiba creates a magical pattern at night and is charged by the sun during the day.
Lighting is a powerful design tool and can make or break the atmosphere of a space. The right lamps, in whatever style suits you, can signal the shift between night and day, as you settle in for the evening.
