Dark Days Before Christmas

19 December 2013 13:53
Right before Christmas, there is the Winter Solstice. Until that time and also around Christmas, the sun sets early. It is no longer as appealing to exercise outside or go for a walk. Besides, winter is getting even closer: it is becoming colder outside. These are more than enough reasons to create a cosy and warm atmosphere inside the house. Let light shine indoors with these tips of The Blue Art Barn.

Good reading lamps

When it is storming and snowing outside, snuggle up indoors on an armchair, sofa or in bed with a good book. Get lost in a different world for hours. Drink a steaming mug of tea or hot chocolate while you read for a perfect, cold winter evening. It is important to have good reading lamps while doing this. Not just beside a chair or sofa, but also beside the bed. Reading lamps make sure that your eyes get less tired while you are reading.

Atmospheric table lighting

Long, dark and cold evenings are the perfect occasions to have a nice, long dinner. Slowly eat, cook, drink while chatting and laughing for hours. Striking hanging lamps will instantly provide atmosphere and light. Design hanging lamps, such as the awesome Shutters hanging lamp by Louise Campbell, or a timeless lamp by Louis Poulsen. A romantic dinner can be illuminated in a romantic manner with the light string Red Roses…

Magnificent outdoor lighting

It might get dark sooner in December, but the gardens do light up. The most beautiful Christmas decorations and lights give the streets an atmospheric and nostalgic look and shroud the city or village in Charles Dickens atmospheres. The only things that are missing are the Carol Singers and, of course, snow. Play your most beautiful Christmas CD while the sparkling lights complete the ultimate Christmas atmosphere. Turn your garden into an atmospherically lit winter garden with the outdoor lamps of The Blue Art Barn.
