Cosy lights: Make winter nicer with your decorations

Home isn’t home unless it feels cosy. And winter is the prime time for cosiness, made all the more so with how you decide to spruce up the inside. Think throw rugs, fluffy rugs, down pillows, scatter cushions and warm heating – bonus points for a fireplace. But in lieu of all that, or if you just want something that kind of makes all those other thing obsolete without nearly breaking the bank – and using the tools you’ve already got at your disposal, like a lamp – then LIFX might be for you. They’re wireless, Bluetooth and WiFi controlled light bulbs that you can put in literally any fixture in your home to sync with your life.

It’s called the ‘day & dusk’ feature in the LIFX app and turns your place into a perfectly timed, wintry landscape of cosiness, times to turn on and off with the sun, or just as simple as when you’re in or out. It’s all about matching your circadian rhythm to help you turn the winter hibernation on and off. Also, the likes can pump out some serious wattage in virtually any colour your heart desires.
