EP 87 The Art of Light | Creating Spaces that Heal & Inspire

Steph's Podcast

In this illuminating episode, Steph sits down with Agapeh Allahverdi, award-winning lighting and interior designer, to explore how light shapes the way we feel, heal and live within our spaces. 🌞💡

From circadian lighting and color temperature to creating cohesive design between your main home and ADU, this episode dives deep into how thoughtful lighting design can elevate well-being, improve sleep, and even attract the right tenants or buyers.

Agapeh shares how she blended physics, interior design, and art to “paint with light,” plus her firsthand experience designing and living in her own ADU in Los Angeles - a story that will inspire any homeowner or investor looking to build mindfully and intentionally.

You’ll learn:
✨ The science behind tunable white and dim-to-warm lighting
✨ How lighting influences mood, energy, and performance
✨ Why layered lighting (ambient, task, accent, and decorative) creates balance and flow
✨ Tips for cohesive design between ADUs and main homes
✨ The power of landscape and water lighting to expand and calm a space

If you’ve ever walked into a room and thought “something feels off,” this episode will show you why and how to fix it.
