Lighting plays an important role in the interior of a room. Correctly selected lighting devices allow not only to emphasize the appearance of the decoration of the room, but also to divide the space into zones.
Lighting is planned by designers at the design stage of the home. Several light sources and various types of lighting devices are used to achieve the maximum level of comfort.
Types of Lighting
Lighting devices are divided into types, based on their functionality:
- Central - is the main source of light in the room and is represented by powerful lighting devices located under the ceiling;
- Local - used for zoning the space. Often used in small apartments, where one room should accommodate a working area and a place to relax;
- Decorative - focuses on individual details of the interior, emphasizing its uniqueness and giving the room the right mood.
Proper distribution of lighting fixtures
The types of lighting used in a given room depend on its purpose.
Designers do not recommend using a central type of lighting when designing a space for relaxation. When planning the design of a bedroom, it is necessary to pay attention to a multi-level lighting system that includes lighting devices that are of a local and decorative type.
Local light sources can be represented by spotlights scattered around the perimeter of the room. When arranging them, it is important to consider the need to illuminate bedside tables and the wardrobe area.
The decorative type of lighting will create a calm mood in the bedroom, which will help you feel comfortable after a busy day. It can be represented by an LED strip that illuminates the head of the bed, niche and bedside table, in the form of several sconces displayed on a separate switch, or with a cornice backlight.
The living room, on the contrary, should be lit as well as possible. This room uses all three types of lighting.
The central light can be represented by a chandelier with 4-6 shades, using the local type they illuminate the relaxation area, and decorative lighting will emphasize the photographs and decorative elements in the room.
Designers, when designing lighting in the kitchen, use all 3 types.
The central one is represented by a small chandelier of 2-3 shades and is led to a separate switch. It is recommended to light the dining table with pendant lamps, the shape of which matches the shape of the table. The working area is illuminated by point sources of light, and niches and shelves can be illuminated with LED strip, with a separate switch.
Thus, when using several light sources, each room becomes as functional as possible, and the lighting can be controlled independently.
