Lighting is one of the most important factors when it comes to decorating your home, as it brings life to your space and takes the decor to another level. It can also affect your mood and emotions, so it’s important to consider what you want to convey and how you will use that space. Whether it’s for resting, working, relaxing, meditating, cooking, or other purposes.
To do this, you should take into account the different color temperature types and how warm or cool you need your lighting to be.
Warm Light
Creates a cozy and peaceful ambiance in the home, ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and any intimate and personal space.
Warm light can also be beneficial for health, as it has been shown to improve mood and help reduce stress levels. It has also been suggested that warm light can aid in better sleep, as it can stimulate the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates the sleep cycle.
You should use it in lamps or light bulbs, but not as the main lighting, as it can alter the colors of objects and not allow them to be seen as they truly are.
Neutral Light
Ideal for bathrooms and kitchens or as general lighting, as it is less straining on the eyes and shows the true colors of objects.
Neutral light can help improve productivity and concentration, as it provides clear and bright illumination that allows for good visibility. Additionally, white light can also help reduce eye fatigue and visual stress.
Cool Light
This type of light is preferably used in workspaces such as offices, hospitals, or commercial settings, to provide bright and energizing illumination in spaces where good visibility and clear color perception are required. It can also be used to highlight a painting or object that you want to draw attention to.
