Home Lighting: How to choose the right lighting for every room

 

The right lighting makes all the difference to creating the perfect atmosphere in your home.

But do you know what sensations the various types of lighting cause? Do you know which are the best alternatives for which room? How to choose for each space?

Well, if that is what you want to learn, we will give you the best tips for the perfect lighting in each room.

The first of these is to seek out a professional architect or interior designer, who can make all the difference in your project.

However, if you want to give your room a quick makeover, here are the main things you need to know for each space!

 

Living and dining room

Here, it depends on the idea you want to convey or the sensations you want to feel when you are in the room.

In the living room, it is good to avoid illuminating the sofas and armchairs, so as not to disturb those who are seated.

Also be careful not to let the lighting reflect on the TV, which is very distracting when watching.

You can use direct lighting, but also keep the option to use indirect lighting, which can be directed to the wall and ceiling to make the environment cozier.

You can also use indirect light to highlight points in the decor.

The so-called “warm white” lights are the most indicated. Plafons and chandeliers can also go well.

For the dining table, avoid directing the light to the chairs. A great option are pendants over the table.

 

Bedroom

Yellow and warm lights are certainly the best lights for this room. Unless you tidy up in the bedroom, then it is indicated to also have a white light.

A central light is paramount, but light fixtures near the bed also look great.

 

Kitchen

Stronger white lights are ideal for illuminating this space well, since you need to see everything quite accurately.

Led strips under cabinets look great. On the countertops or island, if you have a kitchen, pendant lights are great for illuminating food preparation or even for receiving guests.

 

Bathroom

The ideal is that you have the option of direct and indirect light. Opt for white lights.

The main lighting is ideal for using the bathroom in general. It can be with a plafon or in another way, but always central, from above.

If you are going to use the space to put on makeup, for example, you can opt for lower, direct, or indirect lighting. Even light fixtures can fulfill the need well.

 

General tips

In general, yellow and indirect lights create a warmer, cozier, and more intimate atmosphere, especially when used on lamps.

White and central lights, on the other hand, create a more sober, functional, and very illuminated atmosphere. They can be used overhead, in plafons or rails, and also in light fixtures.

With these general tips, it is easier to get the right lighting for your environment.
