Light up interiors for all year round Summer sun!<\/span><\/h1>\n

We\u2019ve got the hints, tips and lights to create bright, sun filled interiors! Henry David Thoreau, author, provided a sound quote; <\/span>\u201cOne must maintain a little bit of Summer, even in the middle of Winter.\u201d.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Summer is a time we all enjoy, with long days, full of light. It\u2019s a season that we tend to take a bit more time for ourselves, be it an evening with friends in the garden, or a family holiday – relaxation is a haven as we bask in the warm glow of the sun\u2019s cheerful rays.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s never been a better<\/span> time to bring the brightness of summer into our homes! A great array of colourful lights<\/a> and other delights!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Remember that we are now nearing the end of the Summer, with the Longest day already week’s behind us. You’ll really miss this brightness that we’re enjoying at the moment. So, if you are someone that loves the summer and has a passion for lighting with natures influences, then this is the blog for you. <\/span><\/p>\n

On a hot summer\u2019s day, there is nothing you want to do more than to be outside soaking in the heat, taking in soulful surroundings, perhaps enjoying the vibe of a music festival or socialising with friends in a beer garden. I think you will agree that Summer never lasts as long as we would hope, so wouldn\u2019t it be amazing if we transferred this magical feeling inside our homes? A splash of floral patterns and sea blues on our furniture and lighting to recreate the wonderment of the best the season can offer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Freedom is key here; bring out your brave side and dip your personality paintbrush into the outside world – make your home more summer suitable to you!<\/span><\/p>\n

These fantastically floral Jenny Worrall lamps<\/a> are a simple and very elegant way of adding colour to any corner in your home that could do with an extra ray of light in the evening. These stunning lamps are made out of glass, which had been hand painted on the inside which adds a depth and lustre you need to see to believe. They will set your mind wandering, bringing a freshness and vibrancy to your interior designs that echo the effortless beauty of flora and fauna.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you love being creative and admire the thought of making your lighting a beautiful piece of art, the Rowan tinted glass ceiling pendants<\/a> are a great example of ceiling lights that you can use to make a stunning setting for your conservatory, kitchen or dining room. I believe these lights are beautiful used on their own or arranged in different sizes and heights. You can even create your own sanctuary of summer by bringing in light from all angles; they will give you that showroom look that you have always dreamed of.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Considering a theme, (weather permitting) a walk on the beach might be the perfect day out for you. Nothing beats having an ice cream and a paddle in the sea, with the sand between your toes and a light breeze carrying the unequivocal scent of the surf . This style might be the perfect theme for your home, or perhaps a holiday home, especially if you are by the coast or have a passion for patterns. <\/span><\/p>\n

When imagining the feeling of first waking up from a restful nights sleep, the comfort of no alarm and the first cup of coffee in the garden before the business of your day begins. Picturing the sun catching your eye peeking through the trees. Incorporating this with lighting we can create the natural surroundings such as this inside our homes, using the brass and gold tones and the bright and warm whites that lighting kindly offers and gently start adding pieces to our homes that perhaps give us the same feeling of wellbeing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s your turn!<\/span><\/p>\n

Be brave not just with lighting, treat yourself to a new piece of colourful summer themed furniture. Paint the pattern in your home and don\u2019t let summer slip away this year, family filled days are what the holidays are all about why not make your home the perfect place to come back to after the wonderful days out or even host a day of summer fun and create your perfect ambience that can last all year around and keep the get up and go going! <\/span><\/p>\n

\"BLUE<\/a><\/p>\n

Here at lighting and lights we truly believe you can create your true \u2018comfort zone\u2019 from selecting products that suit your personality from the colours, styles and patterns you love and making your house your home by simply being your beautiful original self.<\/span><\/p>\n

This blog was written in collaboration, and with thanks to Emma Scott who works in our Customer Service Team. She writes:<\/p>\n

“Summer is my all time favourite season and I feel my mood changes so positively when the sun is shining. I just absolutely love it and having recently started to work with lighting, I have started to look at the way in which we can brighten up our homes, using a variety of different lights to suit each room, and all the patterns and colours on offer of light fittings… So I simply thought, why not?  I wanted to try and inspire people to change their surroundings with more positive colours, and summer patterns, to help make the upbeat personality of summer last that little bit longer!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We hope that you enjoy your very own version of Summer; all year round!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
