We humans are curious beings. We need light to be able to see what is around us. Light stimulates sight and makes things visible for us. Light is also a source of heat and can affect your mood.

Mood light

Lighting is an important aspect of interior design as it creates the mood of a living space. If used properly, you can enhance the aesthetic appeal of a space. Lighting fixtures that illuminate a room create emotion and can be used to create a particular setting, ranging from romantic to work setting and everything in between. It all depends on the intensity, colour and position the light source.

Natural light

Natural light is super important as well. The intensity in which it varies throughout the day makes your spaces look and feel completely different. Your same room in a sunny day will not feel or look the same under a dark rainy day. The more you are able to capture it in your space and enhance it, the better!

Useful tip

By placing wall mirrors strategically you can open up a room and create a feeling of expansiveness. When natural light pours in your room, paired with the mirrors, the light will be reflected around the space and you will be able to find yourself in an uplifting environment.
