Sometimes we can feel unhappy in certain rooms or areas of our home, but can’t really come up with a logical explanation as to why this is. The reason behind your mood changes and depressed emotions could, however, be due to the lighting in your home. Why not update your current lighting solutions in order to avoid some of the affects listed below?
As you can see, too much artificial lighting or illumination that is insufficient for the task at hand can cause some serious side effects. When choosing lighting for the different areas of your home, you need to choose carefully, as it will have an impact on your emotional and physical health – use globes that simulate daylight wherever possible, use shades over globes wherever possible, and never use dim fixtures where tasks are regularly completed (such as the kitchen).
By carefully selecting each and every lighting solution for your home or workplace, you could even improve the moods of the people who frequently use those spaces. Noticed that your employees appear to be overly stressed? Utilize more natural lighting in the workplace to boost their happiness and relaxation. Noticed that your kids are complaining that their eyes hurt? Utilize lampshades to protect their little eyes from the harsh glow of task lighting. In this way, your space will affect your mood and emotions in a more positive way.
