The science behind lighting affecting mood

From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 14 April 2023

You may shy at the intensity of hard overhead lighting, perhaps you find you gravitate towards natural light in your home?

Others may choose side lamps and candles to create mood and atmosphere 

It's no coincidence that you feel relaxed while sitting next to the amber glow of the table lamp in your living room.

But one thing is widely agreed on, light and lighting in our homes, our offices and shops can affect our mood and sense of wellbeing.
