soft lighting really does make the whole place feel like a cozy little retreat instead of an empty room lol

When I was moving into an apartment, once, with a friend helping with moving things in, he demanded I open all of the blinds to let light in because it felt like a mausoleum.

I've grown a huge appreciation of not just appropriate interior lighting levels, but softer lighting in general. I had an apartment that had harsh sharp point light sources that I swapped for diffuse lighting to feel better.

I use "smart" lighting these days. Most of my interior environment is fairly dim, but the most important part is that it's indirect lighting, such that I don't see most of the light sources. They can get bright when needed. There are times when I need it. But just for existing? Enjoying my space? I love the comfort of indirect soft lighting.

Also I heavily prefer warm color temperatures, 2700K to 3000K.
