Hi Artsies 💚
Lighting is one of the most important things when it comes to the interior of any space from your home, to your office, restaurants, hospitals and even your car. Just like colour, light can affect the way you feel about something or what it provokes us to want to do in that space.
Have you noticed how bright the fluorescent lights are in a hospital or even in an office, these kinds of lights are used to keep a clean space and to keep those working at the time in a good headspace for work. To be able to see better as well as productivity and alertness.
Dimmer lighting or coloured globes creates an aesthetic that pleases the calmer and cozy senses, like wanting to eat or sleep or even drink. There’s a study that shows that people order more unhealthy food in dimmer restaurants than in well lit ones, however from my opinion I would rather sit in a dim restaurant than one that’s as bright as my office.
There’s also a difference in the placements of the lights, being in the center or outer edges of the roof. The outer edges of your space gives your room a spaces feel, where the center can cause a bit of claustrophobia. Colour of the lighting would impact you the same as stated in my previous posts on colour, you can read that blog for a little more info regarding coloured lighting.
There’s also different types of lighting that works better in different rooms, we will be discussing that in the next blog as well as the importance of the correct size of windows for naturally lighting as that is just as important.
Be more Arty 💚
