Thinking of updating your homes lighting scheme?
There isnt a better time to do it than winter, because there is less natural light available.

Not sure if your bulbs are fluorescent?
Yet another reason to avoid them.

“Table and floor lamps add warm light without turning on the big lights,” Zborowski says.
If youre going for something super moody, consider layering portable lamps and LED candles for extra drama.
A well-lit exterior is also safer, helping to prevent package theft and potential home invasions.
