The proper use of lighting within your home can affect your sleep and even your mood. So how  does lighting affect the mood in every part of your room?  

Why Lighting Is Important in Your Home ?

Lighting is one of the most important factors in controlling mood in every room of your home.  Some studies revealed that colours of light could affect the mood of a person for example,  yellow light can make a person feel like they are energized, while red shade light can make a  person feel relaxed.  

This is known as the warm colours of light, which is helpful in low light conditions such as  basements. Those colours can make a person feel relaxed 

When you are designing your home to achieve the best mood-setting, you need to put things  into consideration, such as the use of LED lights that are available in a wide variety of colours  and levels of brightness. In that way, you create the right mood lighting specific to each room in  your home.
