4 Ways Lighting Makes a Happier Home

Lighting isn’t just functional, it adds style and gives a certain vibe depending on how it’s installed.

Ever notice how lighting is different in restaurants, stores, museums? Ever think about how it affects your mood to be eating with romantic lighting or looking at something that’s displayed by being highlighted?

Lighting isn’t just functional, it adds style and gives a certain vibe depending on how it’s installed. It can also definitely affect your emotions, mood, even your productivity. And you don’t need to go to a hip coffee shop to work or eat at a fancy restaurant to feel a certain type of way. You can have the lighting you see out there installed in your home and watch it transform into a happier place. Here are 4 ways lighting achieves that.

Lighting isn’t just functional, it adds style and gives a certain vibe depending on how it’s installed.

1. Bright lighting lifts the mood

Some studies have shown that being in a room that is very well lit improves the mood of the person in that room. A well lit space just looks clearer and more attractive and when we see things that are pleasing to the eye, we get into a better mood. Bright lights also make you feel as if you were warmer and cozier, which is also a mood booster. Lastly, they also help you focus as the light stimulates your brain and helps you concentrate.

2. Dim lights can improve sleep

On the other hand, being in low-lit rooms can make you feel sleepy. Darkness signals your brain to secrete melatonin which regulates the body’s sleep-wake cycle. Having a dimmer switch to dim the lights in your room helps your body wind down and be ready for sleep. And it will be the best sleep of your life. 

You can also install dimmer switches in the dining room to achieve that romantic lighting you love in restaurants. Or in the living room to make movie watching seem like you’re in the theater.

3. Task lighting prevents eye strain

Having light that is focused solely on a type of activity that needs tremendous eye concentration helps a lot with preventing eye strain. Intricate activities such as applying makeup, reading in bed, sewing, painting, etc. are better done when you can also see better. 

4. Accent lighting showcases your displays

Just like how paintings and sculptures in museums are showcased with accent lighting, you can do the same for your favourite things in your home. Whether you have a proud collection of rare rocks or attractive bottles of liquor, they can be highlighted beautifully with accent lighting.

 

Lighting can make such a significant difference in how you view your home. If you’re looking for a change, you don’t need to go as far as renovating your entire house. Sometimes you just need to see the light.
