Different types of lighting should be used depending on the room and its role. Are you trying to relax or focus? Do you want to emphasize certain features of the room or do you just want to illuminate the entire space evenly? In this article lighting according to rooms recommendations.
Indoor Lighting
Lighting of Entrance Areas
Entrance areas and corridors should be well lit for family members and guests. Lighting should ensure safe passage from the entrance to other areas. Ceiling luminaires are perfect for this. They provide the necessary ambient light to ensure a warm welcome.
Follow these lighting recommendations for areas such as corridors, lobbies, entrances and hallways:
- Avoid types of light that can create high-contrast shadows.
- Consider using track lighting to create a wall wash.
- Since these lights stay on for a long time, you can use LED lights to save money.
Stairs and Corridor Lighting
Stairs and corridors should be well lit to ensure the safety of the people using them. In corridors, installing luminaires every 1-2 meters is an effective way to illuminate the space, define the shape and form of the space, and emphasize textures. Light can also be used to make the space appear larger, brighter and more spacious.
Bathroom Lighting
The primary goal in lighting bathrooms, as for most rooms, is safety, function and aesthetics. Evenly illuminating, shadowless, bright light should be used in bathrooms. One of the best lighting options for the bathroom is recessed lighting.
Kitchen Lighting
Kitchens are no longer just places to cook. They have become a center point for the home and a place where people spend a lot of time.
This space needs plenty of ambient light. Under-cabinet lights should be used to illuminate work surfaces and recessed lighting in the ceiling to reduce shadows and glare.
If there is a kitchen island or breakfast nook, a pendant lamp or chandelier can be used here.
Living Rooms
The living room is usually where families spend most of their time. Sometimes the dining room becomes the living room. In any case, since we spend most of our waking hours in the living room, it is especially important to have a proper lighting scheme.
Keep in mind the activities that take place in the living room - watching TV, working on the computer, reading, and much more. For the living room, we recommend installing track lighting and adjustable recessed lighting that can help emphasize architectural details.
Hotel Lighting
Interior lighting in hotels is very important to increase the comfort of guests and create an ambience that fits the overall atmosphere of the hotel. The right lighting complements the overall design of the hotel, while ensuring the safety and comfort of guests.
Indoor lighting must meet different requirements for different spaces. For example, the reception area usually requires bright and vibrant lighting, while dining room or restaurant areas need softer lighting. Guest rooms, on the other hand, need functional lighting so that lighting levels can be adjusted.
Bedroom Lighting
Bedroom lighting is an extremely important area to pay attention to. Several factors need to be considered, including the size and scale of the room.
For the bedroom, dimmer-controlled recessed lighting above the head of the bed is one of the best options.
This lighting solution gives you the possibility to control the light levels for different lights in the room. You can change the lighting situation depending on the mood of the moment. However, placing lights directly above the bed should be avoided.
