Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Senses has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Dining Room

Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The brightness difference is modest but present — Senses gives the walls a little more lift.
