You probably follow the sun around your home unconsciously – sitting in the brightest spot in the kitchen for your morning coffee, or curling up in your favourite chair by a sunny window in the afternoon. But actively paying attention to when and where sunlight enters each room has unexpected benefits – for your health, your lifestyle and the look and feel of your interiors, whether that is your living room ideas or kitchen.
'Sun mapping is the practice of studying the movement and angle of the sun across a particular space over time, and it helps designers understand how sunlight interacts with the architecture and interior spaces, influencing everything from lighting to temperature,' explains Sarah Wakefield, creative director of interior design practice, Jolie.
