As winter settles in and the days grow shorter, creating a warm and inviting home becomes more essential than ever. One of the easiest and most impactful ways to transform your space during the cooler months is through layered lighting—a thoughtful combination of ambient, task, and accent lights that work together to create depth, mood, and warmth. Whether you’re curling up with a book, entertaining friends, or simply relaxing, the right lighting makes all the difference.
Here’s how to layer lighting for the perfect winter ambience—with some of our most-loved Lightsup Online pieces to help you get started.
Create a Cozy Winter Glow with Table Lamps
Table lamps offer more than just functional lighting—they bring warmth, softness, and style to any room. Placing table lamps in key spots like side tables, consoles, or nightstands can create little pockets of cozy light, ideal for winter evenings.
The Niamh Ceramic Table Lamp is a standout piece with its organic, sculptural form and soft fabric shade. It casts a gentle, diffused glow perfect for winding down in the living room or adding warmth to a hallway.
For a timeless, minimalist touch, the Circe Ceramic Table Lamp brings understated elegance with its neutral tones and textural base. Paired with warm bulbs, both lamps deliver that comforting winter glow we all crave.
Tip: Use warm white (2700K) bulbs for table lamps to enhance the cozy atmosphere.
Warm Up Your Space with Floor Lamps
Floor lamps are not only functional but also make a strong design statement. They fill in dark corners, provide task lighting, and anchor seating areas—making them a key element in layered winter lighting.
The Evie Floor Lamp features a beautifully arched design that hovers gracefully over a reading nook or lounge chair, offering both style and substance. Its soft downward light is perfect for intimate spaces and quiet moments.
Looking for a more contemporary edge? The Arden Floor Lamp brings a clean silhouette and sleek lines that pair perfectly with modern interiors. Its warm illumination adds a comforting touch without overpowering the room.
Tip: Position floor lamps behind furniture to cast a warm glow that expands the space and creates depth.
Shine Through the Winter with Pendant Lights
Pendant lights aren’t just for the kitchen—they’re perfect for adding a focal point and layered charm in living rooms, bedrooms, or even cozy corners. In winter, they create a sense of height and drama while maintaining a warm, intimate vibe.
The Zyla Glass Pendant Light in Amber is a beautiful way to add soft, golden light to your space. Its rich amber hue filters light in a way that mimics the gentle tones of a winter sunset, instantly warming any room.
For a natural, boho-inspired touch, the Laurel Rattan Pendant Light brings texture and character. Its woven design adds organic charm, while the ambient light seeps through in the most inviting way.
Tip: Hang pendant lights lower in the winter months to create intimacy and help visually "bring the ceiling down" for a cozier atmosphere.
