We have a good idea by now that our environment, and especially our homes, can have an undeniable impact on how we feel. In recent years we’ve learned to pay more attention to our personal spaces and treat them as sanctuaries where we can recharge and relax. We’re looking for calm in our homes unlike ever before, and we want to make sure that our design choices are getting us there.
Lighting is one design element that can make or break a relaxing scheme. Be it your bedroom or living room lighting, if done right it can help us relax or energize us, but if used incorrectly the science shows that it can actually induce stress by interfering with our sleep-wake cycle.
