In this cozy seasonal episode of Boulevard Beat, Meghan and Krissa explore the power, psychology, and design strategy behind beautiful lighting. As we move into shorter days and longer nights, the conversation shifts from natural sunshine to intentionally curated artificial light — and how lighting can dramatically shift the mood, depth, and warmth in a home. From understanding ambient vs task vs accent lighting, to the return of beautiful decorative lampshades, to the rise of cordless lighting, dimmers, candles, and the emotional resonance of the hearth — this episode breaks down how to make light feel layered, human, and luxurious. Lighting isn’t an accessory… it’s a feeling. And winter is where it matters most.Takeaways:Natural light sets emotional tone — but winter is where intentional artificial lighting becomes design’s secret weapon.Layering lighting (ambient, task, accent) creates depth and mood — overhead lighting alone is rarely flattering.Lampshades shape the quality of light — pleated and patterned shades are having a moment for a reason.Cordless lighting gives designers freedom — light placement is no longer limited to outlets.Dimmers are the most powerful small investment you can make — they allow lighting to mirror natural rhythms.Candlelight + firelight produce a primal feeling of comfort and romance — use them deliberately this season.Save 15% site wide at ⁠www.houseofblum.com⁠ with promo code beat15!Or you can use this link- ⁠https://houseofblum.com/discount/beat15⁠!Connect with the Hosts ⁠https://www.instagram.com/boulevardbeatpodcast/⁠ Connect with Meghan Blum Interiors ⁠https://www.instagram.com/meghanbluminteriors/⁠Connect with House of Blum ⁠https://www.instagram.com/shophouseofblum/⁠ Connect with Krissa Rossbund. ⁠https://www.instagram.com/krissa_rossbund/⁠ Connect with Liz Lidgett ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lizlidgett/⁠ Episode Website ⁠https://www.blvdbeat.com/about⁠
