HOW LIGHTING CHANGES YOUR MOOD INSTANTLY

Lighting brings a certain quality + mood to any space, instantly having the power to shift the ambiance. This energy that lighting brings, can be felt viscerally by the body. You will either feel great in a space or not so great in a space + much of it, will come down to the lighting used in that space.

‌

By placing soft lamps around your room rather than using harsh overhead ceiling lights, you can immediately soften the space, creating a sense of security and gentleness. The lighting you choose will have great impact as to whether you gravitate toward that space, wanting to hang out in there, enjoying it or whether you avoid that room + gravitate away from it.

This weekend, try replacing the lightbulbs in exisiting lights and swapping out ceiling lights for floor lamps + table lamps. You could also install dimmers if possible, add festoon lights or fairy lights to outdoor spaces, even solar ones if no electricity is available. Strategic placement of your lamps will also create a dramatic impact. Think about positioning them behind your sofa or in the far corner of a room for the ultimate softness, where the light is invited to permeate outward like a rising sun, in the early morning. The power of lighting is never to be underestimated and can change your space in a millisecond.
