The holiday season is upon us. It's the time to relax at home and enjoy evenings with friends. Use the break to focus on the home and create a space that you love and want to entertain in.

Lighting is essential for creating a beautiful home space. It influences ambience and has the ability to change the feel of a room.

With just a push of a button iDual can transform your home, change the mood and reshape the moment. In collaboration with iDual, here are 5 steps to creating a beautiful home space.

1. Relax

To create a relaxing surrounding, switch on the Relax mode and use the dimmer iDual function. Tidy the space, turn off electronics such as phones and laptops, and find a candle scent you love.

2. Entertaining

Dinner parties of 6 or more call for colourful mood lighting. A quieter affair is more suited to a candlelit glow. Chillout tunes also add to the atmosphere. I'm loving the Easy Afternoon playlist on Spotify.

3. Work Station

When it's time to work, turn on a white light and tune the brightness up or down as required. I like using the 'Working Action' mode when I'm blogging. It creates a productive, well-lit environment. A clutter-free desk and a fresh stovetop coffee also helps.

The 2-in-1 light is perfect for home workspaces as well. It features a calming 'warm light' for down time and a ‘neutral light’ for working.

4. The Hygge Movement

I've been reading a lot about the hygge movement lately. Hygge, pronounced "hu-geh" is Danish for cozy. Hygge was invented for cold Danish winters but there's no reason why we can't hygge in Australia. Hygge is about a good book, great conversation with friends over wine in the glow of candlelight. Sounds excellent to me!

5. Yoga

Throughout December I've using the Nike+ Training Club App and practising yoga at home. Yoga is as much about mindset as it is about the poses, so a calm blue or green light helps me to get into the zone.

Whether you want to create a calm, intimate or party atmosphere, need a night light or a wake-up light or wish to create the perfect work environment, iDual lights and lamps can transform your space and reshape every moment.
