The Hidden Power of Light: Designing a More Analog Home Ep #59

Lighting is one of the most powerful — and overlooked — design tools in the home. In this episode of Your Home by Design, Nico explores how lighting sits at the intersection of interior design, biology, and our everyday experience of home.

From layered lighting design and room designation to emerging conversations around LED light, wavelengths, and evening wind-down, this episode looks at how light doesn’t just shape how a space looks — it shapes how our bodies feel and respond. Nico reflects on research, personal observations, and the growing desire for more intentional, analog spaces that support rest, focus, and better living.

This is a shorter, exploratory episode — part design talk, part science, part reflection — offering a new way to think about lighting as more than decoration, but as a tool that can support how we live, rest, and disconnect at home.
