Most homeowners assume that if a room feels off, the answer is more light. More fixtures. Brighter bulbs. But in this episode, I reveal why that instinct almost always makes the problem worse — and what expensive homes understand about lighting that most people never discover. From the power of shadow to the emotional impact of light temperature, this episode reframes lighting not as a functional decision but as the single most transformative design tool in your home. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why brightness and beauty are not the same thing — and what expensive homes pursue instead The reason one light source always creates a flat, incomplete room How light temperature controls the emotional experience of your space Why shadow is not the enemy of a beautiful room — it's the secret ingredient How intentional lighting placement creates harmony, depth, and a room that finally feels whole Why "more lighting" is seldom the answer — and what question to ask instead Your light just hasn't been given a vision yet? And once it has — everything else in your room begins to come alive.
