Designers often claim to use more light, but you can also overuse it.
Too much light can distract or annoy you, and it can also ruin the cozy atmosphere.
Let's find out more about the negative effects of using too much light.
Glare and discomfort
Excessive light can create glare, which is the excessive brightness or reflection that causes visual discomfort and hampers visibility.
Glare can strain the eyes, cause headaches, and make it difficult to perform tasks or enjoy the space comfortably.
Lack of ambiance
Too much light can make a space feel overly bright, sterile, and lacking in warmth or coziness.
It may diminish the desired atmosphere or make the space feel impersonal and unwelcoming.
Insufficient contrast and depth
Appropriate lighting helps create contrast and depth in a room, highlighting architectural features, textures, and focal points.
Excessive lighting can flatten the space, eliminating shadows and diminishing 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 privacy
In bedrooms or areas where privacy is essential, too much light can make it difficult to create a cozy and secluded environment.
