Designers often claim that you should use a lot of light when decorating a living space, but there are often cases of overusing lighting.
Too much light can be distracting or irritating, and can ruin the cozy atmosphere.
ADVICE.NEWS invites you to learn more about the negative consequences of using excessive lighting.
Glare and discomfort
Excess light can create glare, which is excessive brightness or reflection that causes visual discomfort and reduces visibility.
Glare can strain your eyes, cause headaches, and make it difficult to complete tasks or comfortably enjoy a space.
Lack of atmosphere
Too much light can make a space feel too bright, sterile, and lacking warmth or coziness.
This can detract from the desired atmosphere or make the space feel impersonal and unwelcoming.
Insufficient contrast and depth
Proper lighting helps create contrast and depth in a room, highlighting architectural features, textures and focal points.
Excessive light, in turn, softens the space, eliminates shadows and reduces visual interest.
Fading of materials
Intense or prolonged exposure to light can cause fading and discoloration of materials, including furniture, artwork, fabrics and flooring.
Lack of personal space
In bedrooms or areas where privacy is important, too much light can make it difficult to create a cozy, private environment.
