Whether we are at home or in the office, we spend so much of
our time indoors that it only makes sense to focus on brightening our indoor
environment. As the indoor environment contributes positively to multiple
health issues, but what can be done to improve indoor comfort?
Let the light in
Beyond
aesthetics, light is vital to human functioning and affects the comfort, health
and mood of individuals. By focusing on increasing the daylight and lighting
quality within a space, you can create a brighter environment that effectively
provokes productivity and well-being.
Here are some simple and effective ways in which you can
bring more light into your room to create a happier, more productive space.
Opt for a
light colour scheme
When
designing your space, keep your colour pallet light as pale, because satin
colours will reflect the light and warm, matte colours will absorb it.
Incorporating lighter shades of colours on the wall such as eggshell and cream
will help to bounce light around the room.
As the largest unused space in a room, the ceiling is also a
great place to start when enhancing natural light in an interior. Designing a
white ceiling in your space can help boost the perceived illumination by
reflecting the bits of natural light that are available.
The benefits of natural light create beautiful effects that
create greater well-being and nurture visual comfort. Using ceiling materials
with high light reflection and light diffusion, it can draw 11 % more light
into a building.
Add
skylights
Skylights are a unique and effective way to bring
bright, natural light into your room. They can be quickly and easily installed,
and allow more light to flood into a room throughout the day when compared to
traditional windows.
Adjust your artificial lighting
If your
room has little or no natural light, don’t settle for a “one size fits all”
approach to artificial lighting. Especially at offices, computers and digital
screens emit artificial light directly into the eyes and therefore, the right
ceiling can provide high-quality ambient light for the visual health.
The right level of light can stimulate us and improve our
performance, and by creatively incorporating various levels of artificial light
sources in a room, it will feel much warmer as it simulates the feeling of
natural light.
The lightening determines how we experience a space, where a
ceiling can contribute to a different atmosphere. A high gloss ceiling is often
perceived as “hard” and “cold” contributing to a bad and unhealthy acoustic
environment. A bright ceiling combined with light walls influence the
perception of space, and the light reflection will reinforce the sense of space
as it appears brighter, lighter and warmer.
Get rid
of bulky furniture
A big part of making your space feel lighter is by removing dark and bulky furniture and replacing it with smooth pieces that have clean lines in light colours. By focusing on a minimalist, modern design, you can effectively brighten up your space and enhance its natural character.
Install
new windows or enlarge existing windows
Adding or
enlarging windows that face east, south or west can help to bring more light
into space. As well as it can enhance the colour of the walls, the furniture
and complement some interior details. The obvious about windows is preserving and
admiring the view. Therefore, simply cleaning a room’s windows can have a major
effect on its brightness as dirt and dust can block out natural light.
Consider
light wood flooring
Light
coloured floors give a fresher and more contemporary appearance to space. When
a room requires additional light, it is best to choose a pale wood flooring
option to brighten it up. Attractive, light and neutral colour give a room an
open and airy feel so it appears larger whilst it also draw more natural light
from the outside. However, some dark flooring can help to make the room appear
bigger too as it offers an inviting feel and opens the space. The advantages
are many when it comes to expanding the appearance of the room, but remember,
the combination of the shades on the ceiling, walls and flooring is what makes
a room appear much bigger than it is.
Make the
room sounds as good as it looks
The sound level also impact how we experience a room. If a room is noisy and you can’t find a peaceful place, the room will not feel lighter. The quality of sound absorption determine the layout of the room, and to achieve high levels of acoustic comfort it’s important to consider what acoustic measures can be done. By focusing on the acoustic comfort, you can install a variety of acoustic design solution ranging from baffles, wall panels or ceiling tiles.
Sounds beautiful.
