House Lights are More Important than You Think!
5 Reasons You Need Good House Lighting
Having a living space that has been designed to your preference is bliss. But what if your rooms are often poorly lit and you always have to switch lights on? Not only does it add to electricity bills but it also subjects you and other members to be in artificial/poor lighting at all times of the day.
Adequate lighting is important as it ensures you have reasonable exposure to natural light and don’t develop light sensitivity over time. Additionally, sun exposure has some good health benefits as well that you shouldn’t be missing out on.
So why is good home lights important? And what if you don’t have the right lights?
5 Benefits of Proper House Lighting
1.Adds to good mood: Ambient lighting is the most basic and commonly used lighting in homes. This includes lamps, chandeliers, and other equipment that illuminates the living area. Such lights are often associated with a good mood as they can add warmth and comfort. This is especially important if your living space has a more crammed design with little to no open spaces. It is recommended to use warm colours for bedroom spaces, bright for living areas and comforting lighting for eating spaces
2.Makes working easier: Making rooms brighter helps in highlighting features and makes it easier to work. Imagine having dull regular bulbs in the kitchen. You would barely be able to differentiate sugar from salt! Or imagine having to use a bathroom in the middle of the night that has bright light. It is important to keep a room’s functionality in mind
3.Save more on electricity bills: Aside from aesthetic & function features of home lighting, just by picking the right equipment you can experience savings in your electricity bills. For example, using incandescent light bulbs can be expensive whereas using a compact fluorescent light can help save more money. Simple yet impactful switches like these can help in the long run
4.Make use of natural light as often as possible: There’s nothing better than a source that doesn’t add to electricity bills & lights up your home perfectly. During the day, avoid turning on bulbs and instead pull curtains to let natural light in. Additionally, you can even consider harnessing natural energy through a solar power system to save more costs
5.Defines spaces across your home: Having a clear definition of spaces is important as it can impact how you feel in that certain space in your home. A study area should be well lit, kitchen and bathrooms can use spot-on lights that are overhead but don’t create a shadow effect, pantry can use shelf lights and cozy areas like the living room can use dull, comfortable and warm lighting. These lightings help in experiencing clear transitions and influences how you feel in a certain space
Bottom Line
Adequate lighting can change how you spend time in your living space. While they alleviate mood, the right lighting solutions also add definition & highlights various parts of the house without much effort.
