How Lighting Affects Your Emotions and Mood

Did you know that lighting can directly influence your mood? Whether you’re feeling a little gloomy or super motivated, the light around you plays a major role in your emotional state. It’s simple: good light can make you happier, more relaxed, and even more creative. So how can you use lighting to improve your mood?

Cold light for a boost

Those tough mornings when you can’t get out of bed? What you need is a good dose of cool light (around 5000K). This type of light stimulates the production of cortisol, the energy hormone, helping you start your day on the right foot. It’s a bit like coffee, but for your eyes! Cool light is ideal in spaces where you need an energy boost, like the kitchen or the office.

Warm light for relaxation

On the other hand, when evening comes, your body needs to prepare for rest. That’s where warm lights come in. Soft, warm light helps soothe the mind, reduce tension, and signal to your body that it’s time to relax. This is the kind of light you want in your living room or bedroom after a long day at work.
