The Space
Interior and exterior spaces where lighting can add warmth and cheer.


The warm glow of a fire, the flicker of candlelight on the kitchen table, a string of bistro lights hung in the backyard—there’s nothing quite like light to add ambiance and coziness to one’s home. I often think of the Danish practice of hygge during the winter doldrums: how creating a warm and cozy atmosphere can bring feelings of contentment and well-being that benefit not only you and those you live with, but all who step into your home in search of comfort and rest.

Add cozy cheer to your own space this winter season through the use of light by following the ideas below.
