“In our multifunctional homes, we will need different types of light at different times of day for different moods or tasks. All spaces in the house should have different lighting options so that they can be adapted to fit your needs. This should include:
- Good general (or ambient) lighting to aid circulation around the house. This could be dimmable spotlighting so it can be bright for activities and dimmed later in the day.
- Task lighting, such as side lamps, standing lamps, and spotlights above or next to specific task areas.
- Mood or accent lighting for hosting or simply relaxing.”
Oliver Heath, Design A Healthy Home: 100 ways to transform your space for physical and mental wellbeing

“Introduce hanging plants...
Bringing high planting into your home recreates what we would experience in a jungle or forest habitat.”
