Know the impact of light on your mind

Did you know that cool, white lighting makes you want to move, and helps you eat less, whilst warmer, yellow light encourages you slow down or eat more? This is very important to know when lighting your kitchen or dining room. Also ensure you have layers of lights here: white light in the morning allows you to keep moving and yellow or dim lights at night makes you feel sleepy. Make sure you avoid coloured lights unless you want to make a statement.

Good lighting can be used to enhance colours within a design. Also, lightings can add or subtract from the overall colours of a room. Use of darker colours makes a room feel smaller and cramped. It is beneficial to test colours using different lighting types when selecting colours in the design phase. Some lighting such as directional lighting soften the wall colours. The light emitted may be a warm or cool colour depending upon the type of fixture. Color preferences are objective in nature when coming to decorating your home. Considering right Lighting is required to enhance the colours aspects of the living spaces. Ar. Vinay Rathi Architect & Interior Designer @vinayandrashmi
