Celebrate the holidays in a warm, smart, and atmospheric home

Whether you're hosting a Christmas dinner, watching a movie together, or enjoying a snug evening by the fire, your home plays a crucial role. With smart technology, such as Philips Hue lighting, Netatmo thermostats, and electric shutters, you can create a warm and inviting environment where everyone feels at home.

Warmth and atmosphere: the perfect combination

During the winter months, comfort and warmth become more important than ever. However, this doesn't have to come at the expense of sustainability or convenience. Many households face rising energy costs while spending more time indoors. Smart technology offers the perfect solution: from mood-enhancing lighting to energy-efficient heating systems, you can set the atmosphere while keeping costs under control.

Tips for making your holidays even smarter and cosier

1. Philips Hue: a festival of colours and light

Transform any room into a festive haven with Philips Hue lighting. Choose warm tones for a snug evening or vibrant colours for a lively Christmas dinner. Use scenes like “Fireplace” or “Winter Wonderland” to set the perfect mood instantly. Want to light up the outdoors? Turn your garden into a magical Christmas display with smart lights controlled right from your smartphone.

Tip: Synchronise your lights with your favourite Christmas tunes for an extra festive touch.

2. Netatmo thermostats: tailored warmth

No one wants to feel the chill during the holidays. With smart thermostats and radiator valves from Netatmo, you can easily set the perfect temperature for every room. Using the TaHoma switch, you can control everything with just one button. This way, you avoid unnecessary heating while keeping everyone comfortable, whether you're cooking in the kitchen or relaxing on the sofa.

Benefit: Efficient energy use not only saves money but also lets you celebrate the holidays with a clear conscience.

3. Electric shutters and curtains: insulation and ambience

Electric shutters and curtains offer more than just privacy—they help keep your home warm by reducing heat loss. Set an automatic schedule so shutters close as soon as it gets dark. Add soft, warm fabrics for curtains that complete the cosy atmosphere in your home.

Holiday tip: Use electric indoor blinds with light-filtering fabrics to subtly showcase your Christmas decorations.

4. Smart outdoor lighting: magical winter evenings

Impress your guests before they even step inside. Smart outdoor lighting provides not just security but also sets the tone for a magical winter evening. Combine string lights and smart lamps for an enchanting display that will make your neighbours envious.

Holidays with a smart touch

Preparing your home for the holidays doesn’t have to be complicated. With a little help from smart technology, you can make it cosy, comfortable, and efficient. Let Philips Hue, Netatmo, and other smart solutions be your best friends this winter. Together, they ensure your guests feel welcome and you can fully enjoy the festive season.
