“Lighting plays a big part in the atmosphere and ambience within a room. Subtle changes can have a dramatic impact on the way a space feels,” says Millie. “Warm light globes are a must. Also, think about where your lighting is focused, and adjust it. Try highlighting an artwork or incorporating a new feature pendant above your dining table. It’s important to note that lighting should be both beautiful and functional; a directional light in a hallway is a great way to not only feature an artwork but also reflect onto the wall and light up the space beautifully.” Alternating lighting throughout the house is another way to make spaces feel cozy. Incorporate varying scales and heights, such as table lamps, floor lamps, wall lights, dimmable ceiling lights and pendants in soft textures.
