To soothe your eyes, combine ambient, task, and accent lighting in layers. Start with pendants or ceiling lights for soft, even illumination. Add LEDs under shelves or cabinets to provide functional yet calm task light. Use warm-toned bulbs rather than harsh whites to reduce eye strain. Accent lighting like wall sconces or subtle uplighting highlights textures gently. Maintaining a dimmable setup allows you to adjust brightness throughout the day, creating a relaxing atmosphere that supports the quiet-opulence aesthetic.
