Love At First Light: 5 Lighting Tips To Brighten Your Valentine’s Day
If you’re planning on celebrating Valentine’s Day at home with that special someone, you may be looking for creative ways to improve your lighting and create a romantic space to enjoy the night (or day). Here are 5 lighting tips to brighten your Valentine’s Day!
1. Add Ambiance With A Dimmer
Let your love shine bright this Valentine’s Day, and consider adding dimmers throughout your home. It will allow you to alter the mood in any room with one simple twist. Dimmers can also help conserve energy and extend the life of your bulbs.
2. Turn Off The Lights
You can save energy (and set the mood with your loved one) by turning off your lights and using your fireplace instead. Take it one step further and even turn off your heat to save energy there, as well. Your fireplace provides you with both light and heat.
3. Use Flameless Candles
Are you planning to decorate and set the mood with some candles? Valentine’s Day is a time to kindle the flame with your partner…not your home! Consider using flameless candles this Valentine’s Day instead. It’s a much safer option that serves the same purpose. Make sure you use LED lights, though! They are more eco-friendly and use less energy than incandescent bulbs. In fact, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, LED lights use up to 90% less energy and last up to 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs. Not to mention, they also cost less. It’s a win-win all the way around!
4. Use Natural Lighting
Let your love glow naturally! If you plan to celebrate Valentine’s Day in the daytime, consider using your natural lighting. Turn off the lights and open the blinds. Natural lighting has several benefits, including increasing your energy levels and also saving energy.
5. Add Romantic Lighting
Have you thought about hanging up some lights around your home to celebrate the special occasion? You can even add red or pink lighting – or just keep it simple and go with white. Thee are many string lights you can purchase, or garland that adds a nice romantic feel to your home.
