Light isn't just about brightening a space, it fundamentally transforms how we feel in our homes. When you walk into a light-filled room, there's an immediate sense of warmth and energy that simply can't be replicated with artificial lighting.
In this episode I share a personal experience of how dramatically different educational environments—one dark and oppressive, one flooded with natural light—shaped my understanding of how buildings affect our emotional state. When I think back to it, this early awareness really formed the foundation of my approach to using light as a tool in renovation. Light shouldn't be a luxury or an afterthought, it should be prioritised in every project.
Whether you're planning a complete renovation or looking for simpler improvements, this episode explores practical solutions to bring more light into your home.
So join me inside where I chat through some tips like adding strategic roof lights, stealing borrowed light, and more.
Your home should support your well-being and form the framework for your busy life, and by understanding the power of light and implementing some of these strategies, you can create a home that energises and restores.
I’ll see you there!
