Prepare Your Home For the Holidays

On Monday, November 21, Vice President of Connecticut Lighting Centers, Todd Director, appeared on CT Style for a special holiday segment. He discussed how to get your home ready for the season with WTNH reporter Meghan Yoast.

Set the Table

If you’re hosting dinner guests this holiday season, spruce up your table with Michael Aram accessories. As a new vendor of Michael Aram products, Connecticut Lighting Centers is excited to introduce cheese spreaders, Menorahs and more for the holidays. This time of year, we also see an increase in the number of people looking for dining room chandeliers and light dimmers.

Give the Kitchen a Facelift

During the winter, we spend more time than ever in the kitchen. A quick way to upgrade this room in your home is with new hardware. Simply replacing the pulls or knobs on cabinets can make all the difference to you and your guests! We carry many reliable brands of decorative hardware.

Light Up the Landscape

Now that Daylight Saving Time has ended, it gets dark by 5:00 pm. To help you and your guests see when entering or exiting your home in the evening, consider installing new lamps on the porch. Post lights that illuminate the walkway will make the trip from the front door to the driveway much safer! Landscape lighting also acts as a deterrent against intruders.

Don’t Forget the Ceiling Fan!

Many homeowners don’t touch the fan switch from fall to spring. However, when a ceiling fan runs counterclockwise, it brings air up and back down as heat. A new ceiling fan can function as a source of light and heat this holiday season and throughout the cold winter!

Upgrade to a Smart Home

As Todd explains, smart home technology is something everyone wants but one year ago, it was not affordable. Now, for $99, you can control lights, temperature and shades from your smartphone with Lutron Caséta Wireless.
