Solutions for fading daylight
As we lose daylight due to the onset of winter and daylight savings, try these quick tips to bring light back into your spaces:
- Hang a mirror to reflect light from your brightest window.
- Place a lamp (if possible) in front of the mirror
- Add an up-light in a corner of a room
- Re-arrange furniture so reading chairs sit closer to windows
- Add candlelight at your focal point whether it is a fireplace, A/V unit or other furniture - use flame less candles for safety
- Hang a lighted wall sconce for accent light - flame less tea light candles are a safe option
- Add LED lighting in niches, curios and other unusual places
- Place a floor or table lamp in a dark corner and use a plug-in timer or light sensor (www.lutron.com) to turn on and off at dusk and dawn
