Calming Aura
Calming Aura
Envision sitting by a lake, water rippling beneath the setting sun. The sky casts a soft, warm glow on everything around you and—just like that—the day melts away. This is Calming Aura: dim, warm-toned light that decompresses the mind and calms the nerves. To set the mood for relaxation, use sconces in a living room nook or under counter or toe kick LED lighting in the bathroom, and cue the exhale.

Placement
The key to achieving Calming Aura is indirect light. Place fixtures, like channel lighting, along walls or hidden in coves or tray ceilings to keep the mood subdued.

PRODUCT
If you’re winding down in a bathroom, consider indirect light, light where you can see the effect, but not the actual light fixture. Indirect light is easy on the eyes and creates a calming environment. For relaxing in a bedroom, choose a bedside pendant for an ambient glow. (Extra suggestion: Grab portable lanterns to bring the relaxation outdoors.)
