Let’s face it, January can be dull. The decorations are down, the festivities are over, and the weather is cold and dark. The January blues can be hard-hitting, but don’t worry! We’re here to show you how to turn your January blues into some warming hues.
Expel the January Blues with Ambient Lighting
Fairy Lights, everyone’s favourite type of light! Fairy lights are versatile and adaptable to every season. These simple lights can be the perfect remedy for beating the January blues. With the absence of Christmas decorations, it can sometimes feel like something is missing, but with a little glimmer of light- all can seem well again. Wrap some fairy lights around a window frame or mantelpiece and pair them with candles, picture frames and winter foliage for a seasonal and cosy home.
We can’t mention ambient lighting without talking about the calming glow of candlelight. Candles offer a light like no other! A soft subtle glow brings ultimate relaxation from dusk until dawn. Our battery-operated LED candles bring all the comfort of the real thing, made with hand-poured wax and a flickering flame, these candles offer everything a traditional candle offers; just with less mess and a longer life.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy your well-lit room and a hot drink to warm the soul.
TOP TIP: Be sure to use warm hues, such as warm white lights to create the illusion of a warmer home.
Seasonal Décor
Seasonal décor isn’t just for Christmas! January offers a whole host of winter decorations that will bring your home to life this month. Think frosty, decorations combined with warm lights and trinkets that bring the outside in, enveloping you in a world of winter cosiness.
Star lights can easily make the switch from being a Christmas decoration to being a decoration for the winter season. These glistening lights promote positivity and a guiding light to help you through the dark days that January can bring.
Fill shelves with a seasonal display of candles, indoor lights and foliage and watch the January blues disappear. Consider adding soft textured throws, pillows or rugs in earthy greens or browns to add natural elements to your décor.
Lanterns are often regarded as summer furnishings. However, with a pillar candle inserted, these light-up delights can offer a great alternative to candles alone. Place them on coffee tables or bookcases for the ultimate blues buster, or place them in doorways and entryways to create a glow that will welcome you home. The bonus being that you can continue use of the lanterns all year round.
Inviting Table Settings
Transform your dining room into a hub of warmth with glowing candles, cosy twig lights and winter foliage. This paired with good food and friends are sure to be a January blues killer! Nights out are gone for 2024, and cosy nights at home are very much in!
Comfort food and glowing lights make for a great combination.
