We can’t believe it’s already April! We’re well into the autumn season, winter is on the horizon, and we welcome the autumn tones, colours, and moods. I’m sure that many of you have noticed the impact of daylight savings and the fact that artificial lighting takes the lead role in keeping our homes well lit.
As much as we miss that extra hour of natural light, we are happy to be embracing mood lighting. Choosing the correct lighting for your space can help chase away the blues and assist in getting the kids settled down before bed, help you relax after a long day, and keep the general vibe of your home positive! It’s easy to tailor the light in your home to be a source of positive energy and assist your biological and emotional health.
We spoke to our specialists about their mood lighting recommendations, and they’ve shared their tips on how to embrace the autumn vibe through your lighting. 
Embrace the Outdoor Space
There’s something about the crisp air and colour changes that makes us enjoy our outdoor spaces. No need to move inside if your patio or backyard is well equipped! By adding some fairy lights, outdoor heaters, and path lighting- you can still enjoy the outdoors after a long day at work. A lit-up walkway is not only setting the mood but makes it safe to walk around your backyard after dark. We have a variety of path lighting, many of which are solar-powered, so you don’t even need to worry about turning them off or on! Another magical touch is lighting up your trees. You have the option of wrapping lights around the tree or simply hanging some off of the branches. Either option is great and completely transforms the space! Here are some of our favourite options for you to shop:

Track Lighting
Whether you have a loft-style living room or want to incorporate a modern urban vibe into your space, track lighting is an excellent option. It can be incorporated into a design to illuminate shelving or wall art but can also be used to provide a safe guide after dark, for example, up or down your staircase!
Track lights also add a warm glow, soften your space, and create a beautiful ambiance. Think of these fixtures as task lights, providing direct, bright light in the spots you need it most, like your kitchen counter or in a home office—definitely a great way to invite a warm look and feel to your space.
We have a huge interior range: https://onlinelighting.com.au/interior/track-lights/

Task Lighting
Task lighting is essential. It can add clever accents to a room whilst also serving the purpose of lighting up an area where you require illumination. If you’re reading, writing, playing games, working, or doing any activities that require concentration- you must have the appropriate lighting to avoid straining your eyes.
Positioning your task lighting is key and will require you to consider your lifestyle and habits. It’s a light that is purchased with purpose.

Pendant Lighting
We are a big fan. Pendant light fixtures have made a style trend encore and installed in any room in your house! They can be draped near outlets, wired in your ceiling, and provide an all-over ambient illumination source. On top of this, they are very decorative and can elevate your interior design! There are multiple types of pendant lights available, including suspended bulbs, chandeliers, industrial light fixtures, kitchen lights, lanterns, rise & fall, suspensions, and more.
If you’re looking to bring pendant lighting to your space, we recommend speaking to one of our lighting specialists to ensure you’re purchasing the correct style for the specific room you have in mind.
