Best Practices for Relaxation Lighting at Home

After a long day, we all want the same thing: to relax. Whether it’s watching a movie, reading a book, or spending time with friends, lighting plays a crucial role in creating a calming atmosphere. So how can you transform your home into a haven of peace, using only light?

Opt for warm lights

A warm light (around 2700K) is perfect for creating that cozy and relaxing atmosphere you dream of. Lights that are too cold, with blueish hues, stimulate the brain and are perfect for the morning or afternoon, but in the evening, they risk ruining your moments of relaxation. Imagine: a soft, slightly orange light that envelops you in a feeling of comfort. This is exactly what you want to relax after a stressful day.

Reduce the intensity in the evening

Light intensity is just as important as light temperature. Too much light in the evening can send the wrong signal to your brain, telling it to stay awake. By reducing light intensity as the day progresses, you allow your body to naturally prepare for rest. Dimming your light in the evening is like telling your brain, “Hey, it’s time to slow down.” And who doesn’t want that after a long day?
