The first drops of rain on parched earth bring with it the fragrance of petrichor, the cool breeze after weeks of scorching heat, and the joy of sipping a hot cup of tea by the window taking all this in – the arrival of the monsoon is nothing short of magical. However, as the grey clouds get comfortable in the skies, a dullness settles in and can cast a gloomy spell in our homes. The lack of bright sunlight can make your space feel a bit dreary and dampen your spirits. Read on to know how good lighting play a major role in your home during monsoon
Role Of Good Lighting In Your Home During Monsoon
Light – natural or otherwise – plays a huge role in our emotional well-being, affecting everything from our mood and focus to how we perceive space. How can you ensure that your home looks cheerful even on the rainiest of days? With a few smart tweaks, you can transform your space, no matter how compact, into a bright, airy, and inviting haven.
Mindful lighting is all about creating a well-lit environment that fights off that monsoon gloom. Ambient lighting in warm or daylight tones, for instance, can instantly create a sense of comfort and make a room feel more open and welcoming.
Lighting Tips To Brighten Up Your Home During A Rainy Day
Let’s see how we can do this in our own homes with these tips by Ashok Viswanathan, Senior Vice President - TISVA by Usha International:
Ambient light
This forms the foundation and is the general, all-over light from ceiling fixtures that sets the base mood. It should be warm and welcoming.
Task Lights
These are targeted or focused lights for specific activities. Think of a chic floor lamp next to your sofa for reading, under-cabinet lights for chopping veggies in the kitchen, or a stylish table lamp on your desk.

Accent Light
Use accent lights to highlight your favourite things and bring drama into the room. They could spotlight a beautiful piece of art, a treasured antique, or even a lush indoor plant. This not only adds visual interest but also draws the eye around the room, creating a sense of expansiveness.
Decorative Light
A beautiful chandelier or a set of trendy pendant lights can add sparkle and serve as functional jewellery for your home, making every day feel a little more festive, no matter the weather outside.

LEDs
When the sun plays more hide than seek, let technology come to the rescue. Modern LED lights are brilliant at mimicking natural daylight. They can instantly make a room feel fresher and more vibrant. For cosy corners in your living room or bedroom, choose warm white LEDs to create a relaxing and intimate atmosphere. They cast a soft, gentle glow that is perfect for unwinding with a book or binge-watching your favourite show.
The monsoon is a time for cosying up indoors and enjoying nature as the earth renews and refreshes itself. By making the right lighting choices, you can ensure your home feels less like a dark cave and more like a cheerful sanctuary. This season don’t let the overcast skies dictate your mood. Let light transform your space and lead the way to a happier, brighter home.
