3 Indoor Bulbs for Low Light Spots – to Brighten up Dark Corners with a Festive Display

Paperwhites forced for Christmas.

The holiday season is nearly upon us and I'm already searching for inspiration to decorate my home. I particularly love bringing the outdoors in during the festive months, making eye-catching floral displays with forced bulbs. The only issue I'm struggling with? A lack of natural light indoors during this time of year.

When you force bulbs indoors, choosing a bright spot is often key to prolonging the display, but for the likes of a tablescape away from windows, or just a darker room in the midst of winter, it can be challenging to provide such light. Luckily, there are a handful of indoor bulbs that will tolerate a shaded position. Though, it should be noted they will need to be placed somewhere bright initially to bloom (like on a sunny windowsill), and can then be relocated to a spot with more restricted light to be enjoyed.
