Happy Friday, y’all! I hope you all have something fun on deck for the weekend! We are in Nashville for a concert and a meet up with some very special friends, so it should be a good one!

I love a good, cozy home, even in the summer, and one of the most important things for setting the tone for a cozy home is the lighting. Lighting should be warm and welcoming, and the more lamps and other smaller sources of lights, the better. ;o)

I have found so many clever lighting options in recent weeks, so I thought I’d round them all up in one place and share them with you today!

O N E – Elegant Nightlights

We have nightlights in our home, and we always travel with one, too. Most nightlights aren’t very cute in my opinion, so I absolutely love how chic this one is! The nightlight rotates 180 degrees, so it works in horizonal and vertical sockets, and it has a built-in dusk to dawn light sensor, so it automatically turns on and off based on how much light is in the room. The LED bulb color is also adjustable so you can change it to match any aesthetic.

These nightlights provide light from the tops and the bottoms, illuminating the whole wall. They have three different light levels, and they have built in auto sensors enabling them to turn on and off automatically. They come in black, white, copper, rose gold, and several other colors so you can find the right ones to match the aesthetic in your home.

T W O – Wall Sconces

These wall sconces are easy to hang, they are battery operated so you don’t have to worry about dealing with hiding cords, and they come with a remote to control them. The bulbs have adjustable color temperature so you can choose just the right amount of warmth, the bulb color is adjustable across the entire rainbow, and the brightness can also be adjusted to get just the right amount of light for the space. They are so elegant and they have excellent reviews.

These wall sconces are also a sophisticated choice if you want to highlight paintings, photos, or other wall hangings and galleries. These are battery operated, they come with a long-lasting rechargeable battery, and the lights are dimmable so you can get the exact amount of light that you need.

T H R E E – Patio Umbrella Lights

This set of LED lights attaches easily to any umbrella pole with a simple clip to illuminate any outdoor space. The bulbs are battery operated so there’s no worry over hiding a cord, the brightness can be adjusted, and they provide around 30-60 hours of light depending on which brightness setting they are on.

F O U R – Tabletop Lights

This set of black vintage lanterns comes with battery operated flameless candles that add a soft glow to any space without the dangers of using real fire. They’re suitable for indoor or outdoor use, and they come in black and white.

I have also raved about my battery-operated candlesticks with flickering flames for years. We have these on our mantle and they look incredible. They’re easy to control since they come with a remote, and the flickering flame is so realistic. Oh, and don't forget the candle holders!

And this darling rattan battery-operated lamp adds a pop of warmth and cozy to any space because it's cordless and doesn't require an electrical outlet!

F I V E – Outdoor Lights

If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, then you know how much I looooveeee twinkle lights. We have them on our back porch, Olivia has them in her bedroom, and I have them strung across my office. They are my most favorite thing!! This set is perfect for the outdoors because they’re waterproof and shatterproof. This listing has multiple options for length, so you can find the exact size that you need for any space. These are high quality and highly rated, and since they are LED bulbs, they should last for a very long time.

These deck lights can be installed anywhere (deck railings, stairs, garage overhangs, etc.) to illuminate any space around your property, and they are solar powered, so there is no need for batteries or electric cords.

I have always loved the elegance that gas lanterns bring to the look of a home (we have several neighborhoods in our city that use them and they are everywhere at the beach that we frequent), but our home isn’t connected to a gas line. Instead, these flickering, flameless lightbulbs can be added to any light fixture to give the illusion of a real flame. These have an advanced flickering algorithm making them superior to other bulbs because they look so realistic!

And finally, I came across these garden firefly lights, and I thought they were so unique!! You literally just stick them anywhere in your garden or landscaping, and they charge all day in the sun and automatically light up when it gets dark… such a fun pop of whimsy that can be added to any outdoor space!
