10 LAMPS TO BOOST YOUR MOOD THIS WINTER


CHARLOTTE VOSSEN
October 30, 2023


The cold season is synonymous with darker mornings and evenings, but now the
clocks have gone back, we'll have more sunlight in the mornings for a while.
Sadly, it’ll only be a matter of weeks before we’ll wake up before sunrise and
head home after work in the dark again, and many of us start suffering from low
mood and low energy. To combat this winter sadness, also known as Seasonal
Affective Disorder , it’s often recommended to use lighting to boost your mood. 



From a table lamp in the corner of your living room, to an overarching floor
lamp in your bedroom, additional light adds a feeling of calm and warmth in
autumn and winter months, when natural light isn't particularly bright. But
lamps don’t just have to be functional, they can be decorative too.



‘Lighting should evolve throughout the day. The nights are drawing in fast, but
it can be pretty dull throughout the day too, so don't be afraid to use your
ceiling lights in the day to brighten the room and lift your mood,’ says Niki
Wright, co-founder of lighting design studio, lights&lamps . 



He advises: ‘As the day turns to evening start to add light with lamps on a side
table or worktop or floor lamps to lighten a corner. When it's finally time to
sit back and relax, switch off the ceiling pendant or chandelier, dim the floor
lamp and make your living area a cosy cave by layering two or three or several
table lamps around the room at different heights; adding practical light without
taking from the ambience.’



Wright suggests different lamps in different materials can be a key part of an
interior scheme when most other accessories aren’t easily seen. ‘A solid shade
can create a dramatic downlight, whilst a soft linen shade can allow a brighter
ambient light whilst adding beautiful textures.’ 



He also adds that multiple table or bedside lamps don’t have to match. ‘Just two
different styles and heights can make for a much more interesting and effective
lighting scheme’.

Chicken and leek pot pie

Use chicken thigh or leftover cooked chicken to make this pie. Chicken stock is
ideal to create the rich sauce, thickened with a roux – but you can use dry
white wine if you don’t have any stock to hand.

Whole roast cinnamon chicken with rice

This is a favourite for my family. The whole chicken cooks over the rice, with
the spices scenting both to create the most deliciously sticky chicken pilaf.

Chicken soup with lemongrass and coconut

I have eaten similar soups to this in Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. Each time,
with each bowlful, I swear it is the best chicken soup I’ll eat.

Miso mustard butter chicken and cabbage

If you think baked chicken and cabbage sounds, well, a bit pedestrian, this is
definitely not the case. Try to source a pointed, sweetheart or hispi cabbage
for this recipe – the loose structure of the leaves means they suit roasting
very well. Softened butter mixed through with miso and mustard is a tremendous
combination.

Chicken adobo

This classic Filipino dish is another family favourite. The relatively short
list of ingredients belies the intensity of the finished adobo.

Chicken with orzo, artichokes and feta

I am looking to Greece for the flavours in this recipe. Serve with some lemon
wedges on the side to squeeze all over.

Chicken dauphinoise with Dijon and cream

Looks fancy, this recipe, although it is very easy to make. Ideally, use a
mandoline to slice the potatoes - this means that they will all cook evenly and
perfectly.

Drinks: Charlotte’s bonfire bevvies

Bold and velvety reds along with warming spicy tipples are my go-to choices for
crisp evenings and firework frolics. This week’s reds from Argentina and
Australia are party-pleasing, palate-cuddling favourites that provide the
perfect touch of cheery warmth on a chilly night. And for something a little bit
stronger, try a Palo Cortado dry sherry – a delectable alternative to whisky –
or a cheeky canned negroni.
