The days are getting shorter: this is how we bring light, atmosphere and peace into your home

October is drawing to a close. The clocks have been changed. And suddenly you notice it when you wake up. When you're cooking. And especially when you're sitting on the couch in the evening. The light is different. The atmosphere has shifted.

Your home needs a little something extra at this time of year.

Not more, but better.

We decided to take a conscious approach. No excess candles or lamps. But lighting that moves with our rhythm. Warm where it's needed. Functional when it's needed. And soothing when the day is done.

We found that balance with touch dimmers and switches from Thorn .

Winter calls for coordinated light

While one lamp is sufficient in summer, autumn and winter call for layering. Light must be able to switch between active and soft. Between waking up and unwinding. Between cooking and dining.

And that is precisely where lighting via touch control plays a major role.

What we did when the days got shorter

1. We replaced standard switches with touch dimmers

   Now we adjust the light per moment: reading, eating, relaxing.

2. We chose champagne-colored glass in the living room

   Warmer than white, calmer than black. It feels just right.

3. We programmed scenes

   At sunset, the lights dim automatically. When guests arrive, we switch to a "guest-only" setting with a single tap.

4. We left the click behind us

   No sound. No resistance. Just smooth light, controlled with a single touch.

The power of light in dark months

Light influences our mood. Our energy. Our sense of home. Especially now that the evenings are getting longer, it's important that light brings peace instead of tension.

With Thorn touch switches, you get more out of every lamp. And more out of every moment.

Why we're already prepared for the holidays

The best atmosphere is not created by more decoration, but by conscious choices in how you manage a space.

Our tip? Start now. Make sure you:

• Set the right mood lighting modes

• Finished each room consistently

• No more annoying plastic elements on your wall

• Choose controls that enhance your interior instead of interrupting it
