Have you ever thought anything that you design, anything you create, anything you can see is nothing without light?

In this class, we want to talk about one of the most important and most overlooked mediums that we can work with, in our interiors, the light. It has power beyond our imagination to transform scale, color, mood, and vibe in a space. Light can affect our subconscious in a way that no other medium can. It affects our sleep patterns, alertness, health, and working hours. It reveals colors, textures, and dimensions. It tells us where to look, where to go, how active we should be, work or rest?


In contrast, a poor-lit environment can cause insomnia, stress, and even obesity. It is really about both the quality of life and aesthetics.

So, if you are into interior design and want to show your ideas, designs, forms, colors, textures, and patterns better if you want to live in a healthier environment for your mental and physical wellbeing, don’t forget lighting. Join me in this class to learn the art and science behind lighting our interiors in a beautiful and correct way.
