How to use smart coloured lighting to create stunning effects

Create beautiful lighting for Christmas. - by Rebecca Lowrey Boyd
  • 08 Nov 2019

Looking for a creative way to give your Christmas lighting scheme the ‘wow’ factor this year? Look no further than smart coloured lights.

Australian lighting company LIFX creates colourful smart lights featuring a whopping 16 million different colours from a voice-activated wifi connection, giving you the ability to personalise the look you’re after.

LIFX has a range of smart lighting products available which can light up and transform a room with saturated and powerful colour – across ceiling, pendant, feature and accent lighting options.

Welcome guests into your home at Christmas by illuminating your entry area; or introduce a festive design element to your dining room with red and green tiles. Alternatively, add a soft glowing effect behind your TV.

You can also create focal points of light with the LIFX smart candles.

Adele Locke, residential lighting expert and Director of MINT Lighting Design says that the key to incorporating coloured light into your home is to look at how you can build it into your overall design scheme – looking at a mix of feature and accent lighting – to ensure considered placement and maximum impact.

“Designers have ingrained in us the value of paint, finishes and furnishings in a space to enhance personalisation, but with light you can create a completely immersive and bespoke experience,” she says.

“Coloured light is an under-utilised design feature and can transform the way you feel, the way your room feels – which creates a design impact never before seen or felt,” says Adele.

“Artists all over the world use the unique benefit of coloured light to create moods and emotions everywhere from stages to galleries. It's more than aesthetics – it taps directly into a deep, emotional part of your brain,” she adds.
