winter lighting how-to
Reader: Longer nights have arrived. What is your suggestion for lighting in my living room?
Coco Blanca: Excellent question! At Coco Blanca, we love the ambiance of flickering candles on a frosty night. Light up your favorite candles and enjoy a cup of hot cocoa with the ones you love. We suggest the Winter Frost candle from Coco Blanca with a lingering aroma of pine, perfect for the holidays!
Other great additions to any dark living room in the winter are table and floor lamps. Their versatility allows for ambient lighting in the places where light is needed. Pair a few lamps with an arrangement of candles on the coffee table, and you’re ready to cuddle up to a good book. For a more eclectic look, mix and match lamp base styles, but don’t stray too far away from a set color palette!
For added customization, set a timer to your lamps for a warm welcome to your home after a long day at work. This will not only make your room more inviting, but also save energy by not leaving lights on all day! Coco Blanca is passionate about style, but also sustainability. Be sure to use energy efficient bulbs on any fixtures in the room. We suggest an energy efficient LED light bulb with a traditional warm glow. They are both functional and last 25 times longer than your typical incandescent bulb!
Happy lighting!
