Lighting plays a big role in the interior - it fills dark corners with light, creates the desired atmosphere, emphasizes the style and correctly emphasizes it.
Multi-level lighting
A multi-level system includes a complex of lamps, including ceiling lamps, wall lamps, floor lamps and more, located at different heights. Combining different lamps allows you to adjust the level of lighting according to your needs. Tip: for the ceiling, choose lamps with diffused light to create a uniform background lighting in the interior and complement them with floor and table lamps, decorative lighting and wall lamps.
Light in a dark interior
Rooms with dark furniture and walls have a special energy: they are filled with comfort and tenderness, they look solid and luxurious. But dark interiors have two drawbacks: firstly, they actually look smaller, and secondly, they absorb light. To avoid this effect, it is recommended to organize brighter lighting than in other rooms.
Spotlights and lighting
For a large room, for example, a kitchen-living room or a spacious studio, it will be appropriate to zone it with lighting. Spotlights should highlight different corners of the room: they should illuminate the dining table, create a cozy area for relaxation and reading a book. If you want to draw attention to a specific decor item (for example, a picture on the wall or a collection in a store window), decorative lights will be a great solution for this.
More light
Crystal or glass chandeliers are not only a symbol of luxury, but also a great opportunity to increase light. Scattered around the room, eye-catching hanging decorations will create a bright lighting effect. If you install a chandelier or a wall lamp in front of the mirror, the room will be twice as bright.
Lighting in a small room with low ceilings
A small room imposes restrictions on the choice of furniture and color scheme, but properly selected lighting will make up for the shortcomings of small rooms. The first rule is to abandon bulky lamps and large chandeliers. They are unacceptable in a room with a low ceiling, as they visually make the ceiling even lower. The ideal solution is a flat ceiling lamp with upward-directed plafonds: the reflected light will optically raise the ceiling and expand the walls.
Popular trend: LED lights
In recent years, LED lighting for furniture, floors, and walls has become the number one trend in interior lighting.
There are many possibilities for its use: brooms, LED lamps installed on the floor and walls, LED strips, furniture with built-in light sources. Use LED lighting in the hallway for easy movement in the dark, or select a functional area in the living room, for example, a bar table.
Local lighting for the work area in the study and kitchen
Sometimes the highest quality and brightest general lighting is not enough. In some areas, a directional light source is required, especially for the work area at the desk, in a reading area or in the kitchen. Bright light will make work more comfortable, while weak light can negatively affect vision. LED lights should be used in combination with background lighting for more comfortable work.
Choose warm (yellowish) lighting for your home
If you want to feel cozy and comfortable at home, choose a lamp with warm light: while cold white light, which is needed to create a working environment, is more suitable for offices, a soft yellowish light is suitable for relaxation and comfort.
