In recent years, dedicated wellness space within a house has become a popular design option. With the rise of a trend toward a healthier lifestyle, more and more people are deciding to create a gym area in their home by creating dedicated rooms or carving out a small space in the garage.
Optimizing lighting in the training area plays a huge role in creating a motivating and disturbance-free environment. Light is an essential component in training effectively and safely.
Besides the natural light present during the day, it is essential to provide a combination of uniform and warm artificial lights that do not strain the eyes and generate adequate visual comfort while improving mood and concentration during training.
One of the ways to illuminate the fitness area with artificial light is by utilizing several lighting points that indirectly and diffusely illuminate the entire workout area from above and mimic natural light while reducing shadows. Moreover, the lights should be placed high on the ceiling to avoid annoying reflections and glare, keeping the space and walls free for tools or mirrors.
However, in the space dedicated to more relaxing physical activities, such as yoga, one should aim for a softer light that helps relax both body and mind. For this reason, the ideal solution is a dimmable LED light that allows you to choose the intensity depending on the physical activity.
Attractive and convenient solutions to sufficiently illuminate the gym space are recessed lights; however, track-mounted LED spotlights or ceiling lights are good alternatives.
Adding a scenic effect to one's workout space can be an enjoyable and motivational solution, in that case, suspension lights. Pendant lamps effectively illuminate while adding elegance and visual comfort.
Regarding colour temperature, it is recommended to use lights with a temperature of 5000K to recreate the natural lighting colour for fitness activities. While for yoga, pilates and similar, one should use 2700K or 3000K with dimmable light.
Outdoor lighting is much more than the simple act of installing a few fixtures around your home, it’s an art form that blends safety, functionality and ambiance into your garden, patio or poolside retreat. When done thoughtfully, the right light can transform any outdoor space into an enchanting extension of your living area: an inviting evening lounge, a dramatic backdrop for al fresco dinners or a quietly illuminated path that guides you home.
Lighting plays a key role in interior design, not only as a matter of functionality, but also because of its ability to transform spaces and influence our mood. New lighting trends in colour and materials focus on warm tones, bold combinations and advanced technologies.
Lighting inside a sacred space is an essential aspect that defines the environment, enriches the spiritual experience and inspires a deep emotional involvement in those who enter it. Light, in all its forms, symbolically represents divinity and inner guidance in sacred places. Its use must be studied with particular care to respect the sacredness of the place, enhance spirituality and accompany the faithful on an inner journey.
