Do you notice a difference in how you feel when you’re in an office or shopping centre flooded with fluorescent light compared to a moody, softly-lit bar or spa? These examples illustrate just how varied lighting design can be. When applied correctly, it should reflect the type of interior you’re in and the activities that take place there, consequently creating a particular vibe, mood or feeling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/641bb41bb156254d92f5cec9/1683165487363-V0FPLCVA5V2MQXWX2URP/Screenshot%2B2023-05-04%2Bat%2B11.55.40%2Bam.jpg Blog - 5 ways to create a calming environment at home - I’m a big believer in engaging as many of the senses as possible when looking to create a feeling in a space. A great way to dial up the zen feels is by engaging your sense of smell. Here’s a couple of ways you can do it: Use scented candles, diffusers or incense Bake your favourite treats Use a room spray or pillow spray Switch out your regular laundry detergent for a scented option when you’re washing your sheets. Scent is deeply personal, so there’s not a one-scent-fits-all solution here. No matter your choice, it’s bound to add a whole other dimension to your space. https://www.wholesomebydesign.com/home daily 1.0 2025-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511387030-5LI1E5QMVTQ2RY9S00A4/20140228_Trade+151_0046+1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511440608-5BVMHVN4WR2I9YQV1WWR/Aro+Ha_0010+1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511467879-K5J9BYNACHJVDV3BNSFU/Aro+Ha_0387+1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511743693-J3A8OYH6X8C7RXNU5K0J/20140301_Trade+151_0124+1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/641bb41bb156254d92f5cec9/5b63f606-766a-4131-92ef-f4ef10014a44/Khushu140923-015ed.jpg https://www.wholesomebydesign.com/about daily 0.75 2026-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/641bb41bb156254d92f5cec9/5549ffcc-5bb0-45b2-b282-b7a741ca58be/057.JPG https://www.wholesomebydesign.com/services daily 0.75 2026-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511387030-5LI1E5QMVTQ2RY9S00A4/20140228_Trade+151_0046+1.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511440608-5BVMHVN4WR2I9YQV1WWR/Aro+Ha_0010+1.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511467879-K5J9BYNACHJVDV3BNSFU/Aro+Ha_0387+1.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511743693-J3A8OYH6X8C7RXNU5K0J/20140301_Trade+151_0124+1.jpg Services https://www.wholesomebydesign.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/641bb41bb156254d92f5cec9/196df18d-81e8-4ee3-9830-78485036de9b/140.JPG https://www.wholesomebydesign.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2023-04-20 https://www.wholesomebydesign.com/terms-conditions daily 0.75 2023-04-20
