\n

In a Minnesota December the sun is gone by half past four, and a single ceiling light suddenly has to carry the whole evening. That is when a room starts to feel flat. The fix is not a brighter bulb but more lights, placed lower and spread around the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three layers, three heights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Think of light in layers. A pendant or ceiling light gives general light; a floor lamp next to the sofa lights the reading corner; a small table lamp on a sideboard or nightstand adds a warm glow at eye level. Three sources at three heights are enough for most living rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose warm bulbs of 2,700 K or lower and soft shades: linen and paper diffuse light evenly and keep the glare out of your eyes. Our Linen Floor Lamp and Ceramic Table Lamp were designed to work as a pair, at the same colour temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, put the lamps on dimmers or smart plugs. Being able to turn everything down to a third after dinner is what makes the evening feel slower \u2014 and what makes long winters a lot easier to love.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
