You’re in a cozy home, a productive office space or your favorite easygoing place to shop, what you might not be noticing is the way you feel about that environment and how that tone is set by the lighting around you. Lighting does more that illuminate the rooms we are in, it shapes our emotional experiences to every space we enter. The wrong lighting can slow productivity and negatively impact our well-being. At Chelsea, we know that great lighting doesn’t just turn on brightness, it cultivates your atmosphere. When done well it compliments design, improves mood, and encourages productivity.
Here’s why lighting should always be an important consideration in your new space:
- Enhances Appeal
Architects and designers spend a great deal of time considering the details of a space. When well lit the richness of textures and the sleek nature of the space can be highlighted. Key lighting decisions set the mood and are the difference between a place that is warm and inviting verses cold and rigid. Good lighting calls for people to be comfortable.
- Boosts Productivity and Focus
In office spaces, proper lighting allows for the reduction of eye strain and the maintenance of concentration. Lighting in these spaces should not only be bright, but also evenly distributed and efficient set for the time of day. With the power of good lighting, an office space can have the same productivity at 4pm that it does at 10am.
- Creating Comfort
Lighting changes how we feel. Warm lighting tends to make a place feel inviting and relaxing, while cooler lighting contributes to alertness. Both serve their own purposes and play a role in well lit spaces. Thoughtful design considers how a person will feel when they walk into the space and adjusts for expected variables.
- Improving Safety and Functionality
Beyond the look of lighting a crucial role is functionality. Well-lit hallways and work areas are made more safe by bright light. This ensures visibility and reduces accidents. Task lighting in areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and offices also make daily life easier while maintaining visual appeal.
- Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
Lighting solutions, like LED fixtures and smart lighting systems, offer energy efficiency without sacrificing a client’s preferred style. These modern innovations help keep energy bills low and reduce environmental impact, all while maintaining brightness.
