Watch the introduction of the video 6 COZY HOME TIPS until 2:28
and answer the questions:

POSSIBLE ANSWERS:

2. What recommendations does she give about:


‘I would usually say to banish overhead lighting. It's better to focus on having
clusters of illumination. And look at what types of light bulbs you're using. It's better
to opt for warmer light bulbs and stay away from the cooler light bulbs, because
they are going to be used in more office type areas. Warm light bulbs are going to
feel more inviting and cosier. Smart lightning is a great way to set the mood
whenever and however you want. Candles are the ultimate cosy edition to any
room.’
