Soft lighting 💡 🌸>>

💡 I love soft lighting so much. It’s just so comforting to look and be in soft lighted rooms.

💡 Soft lighting screams cozy to me. In my personal opinion having rooms with soft lighting creates a perfect balance for me to be productive, but not overly strained or tired out by super bright or harsh lights.

💡I don’t know if anyone else can relate, but often times in college I used to go to the library to study and prepare for exams or projects. However, I would usually notice that within 30 minutes to an hour of me studying my productivity plummeted. It could have been multiple variables that contributed to this, but i definitely know the lighting in the library didn’t help. In my library they had very harsh obstructive white lights. I don’t know if there’s science behind it, but I often felt drained.

💡I noticed that I was much more productive studying at home in my soft lighted room. I know some people don’t like studying in their room because maybe too many distractions, or the likelihood to do something else more entertaining. However, my experience was and is different, and I think the lighting plays a role.

💡( Pictures are not personally mine just into from Pinterest 🥰)

... Read moreSoft lighting is often associated with comfort and relaxation, making it a popular choice in home decor and study spaces. Various studies indicate that ambient light can influence mood and productivity levels. While harsh white lights can lead to eye strain and fatigue, softer lighting promotes a sense of calmness and focus. Many individuals face productivity challenges in brightly lit environments, especially in places like libraries where natural light is often limited. Switching to softer light sources such as warm LED bulbs or using dimmers can improve concentration and create a visually appealing space. Incorporating elements like lamps with fabric shades, fairy lights, or candle-like fixtures can significantly enhance the ambiance of any room. Additionally, soft lighting not only boosts productivity but can also transform your room into a cozy retreat ideal for relaxation. To maintain the benefits of soft lighting while studying, consider pairing your lighting choices with soothing colors in your decor. This harmonious combination of light and color helps reduce stress, allowing for enhanced learning experiences. Incorporating soft lighting into your decor is not just about aesthetics; it's a functional choice that positively impacts mental well-being and productivity levels. Whether you’re studying for exams or simply unwinding after a long day, creating an atmosphere filled with inviting soft light can make all the difference.

Tips: use a ring light/ natural light. turn off overhead lights if in room! Make sure your light source isn’t casting a shadow on your face (or simply don’t show your face like me sometimes!) Use front camera (duh) and portrait mode! Try to create contrast from you and the background. Make a
