Lighting Effects on Moods

[being lonely]

Sometimes we can feel unhappy in certain rooms or areas, 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.

Poor lighting can cause eye fatigue and headaches, which make us feel depressed or ill in the space constantly.
Poor natural lighting can trigger depression and actually has a negative effect on our immune systems.
Bright lighting stimulates our mind (which is why it’s great for task illumination) whilst dim illumination quiets our senses and can actually make us feel drowsy (which is why it’s great for the bedroom).
Dim lighting and harsh contrast can cause us to strain our eyes when being used in place of task illumination.
Excessive artificial lighting can cause rooms to appear overly bright, which actually hurts our eyes and can cause us to feel nervous and on edge in the space.
Insufficient lighting can cause us to suffer emotional stress and even physical illness if we are exposed for long periods of time.
Natural lighting through windows and skylights has calming effects on our minds and emotions.
Uncovered globes can actually cause irritation (to both our eyes and our mood), as well as disturbing the harmony of the space.
