The Benefits of Natural Light
The impact that natural light has on the workplace cannot be overstated, and there have been many studies in this area that have discovered the wide-ranging physical and mental health benefits of natural light. The main ways that exposure to natural light can help include:
Health: Exposure to natural light benefits general health as it can regulate your circadian rhythm, promote healthy sleep and enhance overall well-being.
Mood: Natural light is also proven to have a positive impact on mood. This is why it is recommended that those suffering from depression and anxiety spend more time outdoors, as natural light can reduce symptoms and improve well-being.
Productivity: Have you ever tried to work in a dingy office? It can be challenging to be productive and focused in a dark and dreary environment, and this can also lead to eye strain. A bright, well-lit space will boost productivity levels, making it easier to be efficient each day.
Creativity: Natural light is also proven to stimulate creativity and innovative thinking. Therefore, maximising natural light in your work environment can help provide inspiration and enhance your creativity.
Maximising Natural Light
It is clear that natural light has wide-ranging benefits, so how can you maximise natural light in your work environment? This is not always easy, but here are a few options:
- Adding windows/skylights
- Strategic placement of mirrors
- Unblocking windows
- Using reflective wall colours
- Light coloured flooring
- Reflective work surfaces
- Open plan layout
Sky Windows to Improve Workspace Lighting
An excellent alternative to maximising natural light in the workspace is to use Sky Inside’s™ LED sky ceilings. Essentially, these are digital windows that mimic natural daylight and replicate lighting patterns, allowing you to harness the healing power of natural light.
These cloud ceilings and windows are ideal for dark and windowless rooms, as you can brighten up these gloomy spaces with a display showing peaceful natural imagery that mimics natural light.
How Sky Windows Improve Efficiency & Inspiration
Sky windows can improve the aesthetics of any interior space, but how can they improve workplace efficiency and inspiration?
Improve productivity: As previously mentioned, natural light can have a positive impact on productivity levels. Skyview windows will flood your space with natural light that will help you feel more focused and alert.
Improve Mood: Sky Windows can also help to improve mood, especially when they are placed in work environments that previously relied solely on artificial lighting. In addition to natural light, these displays can show calming imagery that will reduce stress and improve your mood. In turn, this should improve your performance levels at work.
Enhanced inspiration: Sky Inside’s™ digital sky ceilings could also enhance inspiration by creating a bright and stimulating work environment. Additionally, images of natural scenery could stimulate creativity - this could be helpful if you are in a creative role or even for problem solving tasks.
Healthy sleep patterns: With the option to install Circadian Regulating Programming in sky windows, you can replicate daily light cycles to reconnect the body clock and improve sleep quality. This will benefit practically all areas of life and could make a big difference to your workplace performance.
