What is warmer lighting?
The colour of the lighting we choose in our homes determines the atmosphere we create. As lighting technologies have developed over the last few decades, so have the way lightbulbs look when switched on. Some have a cool tone, while others are warmer. This colour temperature is measured using the Kelvin scale.
The Kelvin scale measures how warm or cool a light is. The higher the ‘K’ number, the cooler the temperature. The lower the ‘K’ number, the warmer the light is.
Any light with a K number of 3000 or lower would be considered warm, whereas anything above this number becomes more cool-toned. The K number is important when creating an ambient atmosphere with light.
What is the purpose of warm lighting?
Lighting is used in various ways – it sets the tone of a room or a scene in a film, changes our mood and can even affect our bodily functions.
Studies have found that exposure to warm light, 3000K and below, can increase the production of the sleep hormone melatonin, thus improving sleep quality. In line with our circadian rhythm, warm lighting makes us relax and wind down, while cool lighting makes us more alert and energetic. Cool lighting in the home, particularly in the bedroom or living room where we spend our evenings, can interfere with our inner body clocks.
Warm lighting is a natural choice for the home. It helps us to wind down and relax. Plus, it creates an inviting atmosphere for guests and loved ones. Welcome them into your home with warm, stylish ambient lighting.
Set the mood by grouping lanterns outside your home, either on the steps or the porch. Place a selection of warm finish candles inside for a timeless yet contemporary look.
Lanterns can also be placed inside the hallway if your home doesn’t have outside space or the chilly weather does not permit. If floor space is limited, choose a beautiful lantern pendant to hang in the hallway.
The Uttermost boomerang pendant is a beautiful, warm gold shade that emits a gentle glow. Perfect for welcoming guests into your home on a porch or hallway.
Decorate your hallway with luxurious scented candles from the Baobab Collection for extra glow. The hand-blown glass candle holder is home to beautifully refined scents. Choose from the rich, seductive notes of the Gentleman Candle and the Pierre De Lune Candle’s uplifting mint and citrus scents, or browse the full selection for more. The candles burn for an optimum of one thousand hours, easily lasting throughout the cold winter.
What table lighting is good for winter?
Even through the day, winter can be a dull, dreary season where your home lacks natural light. Ambient table lighting is a great way to combat this. Adding a warm glow to your living space, bedroom, or workspace makes it feel inviting and cosy all year round.
Choosing a gold table lamp brings an additional element of warmth and an elegant touch to the space.
Eichholtz’s Pimlico Table Lamp is perfect for bringing warmth and style to your space. This sophisticated table lamp brings an atmospheric ambience to any room, perfect for creating an inviting space for guests. This lamp looks beautiful alone or paired up for a modern, bold look.
Brass and bronze table lamps are also brilliant choices for providing warmth and glow through the dull winter.
Choose the Knurl Mini Lamp by Uttermost for a bold injection of warmth into the space. Small in stature but big on impact, this versatile lamp has a sleek silhouette and a handy rotary dimmer switch to create a cosy atmosphere.
The Bert Frank Riddle Table Lamp is another stunning option. Brass with black detailing, this modern lamp has two perforated shades to easily emit warm, glowing light around any space. This beautiful lamp offers customisable lighting to create a welcoming atmosphere in a living space, bedroom or hallway.
