On the bright side of dark fall days, early sunsets bring more hours to embrace natural and cosy lighting. Our local Home Hardware has become our guide for embracing the season, with a variety of affordable products to keep spaces warm and well-lit. Leave thanksgiving guests and fellow homebodies glowing with our three seasonal lighting tips. —Julia Dumbrell
- Nature by Night-time | Combine lights with fall décor for an authentically autumnal effect. Try mixing fall foliage with Fairy Lights, for example ($40). Or liven the thanksgiving dinner table with gorgeous gourds and a gnome-shaped Candle Holder ($22). The charming combination of outdoor décor and soft light illuminates nature’s palette.
- Light a Fire | The cosy crackling and warm glow of a fire is season-defining. With no fireplace, a warming fall candle brings a similar effect; especially when lighting a seasonally inspired scent and wooden wick to mimic the sound of a roaring fireplace. Fire-starters, create an undeniable ambiance in any room with an 8-pack of the Apple Crumble Tealight Candles ($4).
- Cue the Cosiness | Try dim lighting to set the scene. Known to improve moods and concentration, it’s time to bring a Himalayan Natural Rock Salt Lamp to the living room ($35). Hand crafted and mounted on a polished wood base, the mountainous salt crystals cleanse the home’s air. Just add a mug of something warm and a few throw pillows to incite the kind of restful evening we’re always thankful for.
