I Asked Lighting Experts: "Does Turning on Your Home's Lighting Actually Make You Feel Warmer?" It Comes Down to Reducing 'Visual Cues', They Tell Me

This might sound desperate, but I've been searching for anything that may make me feel even a modicum less frozen at the moment, which left me wondering — will simply turning on my lights at home actually make me feel any warmer?

As someone who spent most of December musing over the relative mildness of the weather, I feel I must have jinxed it, because almost as soon as we were hit with January, the UK weather decided to treat us to the brutal chill we know so well — as if January wasn't already cheery enough. So now, we're left scrambling for ways to bring some warmth — any warmth we can — into our homes, without having to spend a fortune on the heating, of course.
