As we transition into the new year , wellbeing goals for the next 12 months ahead are sure to take centre stage . Rest is as important for the mind as for the body , so creating zen spaces around the home will go a long way in aiding relaxation and reinvigoration . The right lighting can not only create a calming ambience that reflects around the whole home , but can have positive effects on the mind that are long lasting .
“ Whilst ceiling lights are ideal for practicality , they are intended to flood a room with light and could provide a stark contrast when switched from on to off in the evenings . Bedside lamps and floor lamps can provide a lower level light and better set the mood for lulling you into a restful state ” Mary Buchanan , Creative Director and Board Member for Laura Ashley Lighting and Mirrors explains .
The Marlowe Polished Nickel Swing-Arm Floor Lamp with Shade illuminates corners beautifully for reading and recuperating , with its adjustable double-jointed arm and soft grey hue . The Carson Small Table Lamp Base in Antique Brass and Crystal offers a grand statement with its hand-polished cut crystal body and a comforting , homely aesthetic when teamed with a pleated shade . The warm glow of the Laura Ashley Amber Table Lamp Base is undeniably tranquil with its pear-shaped design topped and tailed with an elegant chrome finish .
Mary adds : “ Using a warm , white light is more soothing for the eyes , and opting for an LED Amber light has been known to preserve your body ’ s natural levels of melatonin which aid the sleep-wake cycle .”
