The shape of lamp is suitable for a variety of decorations. Different materials and colors are suitable for different kinds of decorations. So the matching of lamps does not have the so-called “Uniform” principle. What I share with you today is lighting design.
The combination needs to be flexible, and the same lighting can be suitable for home decoration in different styles. As long as the overall atmosphere is not in conflict, it can be used flexibly and does not have to be formalized.
Fabric, wallpaper, as well as furniture can change a room; but one of the most affordable and effective methods is to change by lighting. The color and atmosphere in the room can be enhanced by layered lighting. It is crucial to make an overall lighting plan based on the indoor and outdoor conditions.
For example, five-star hotels and high-end restaurants deliver different atmospheres by using lighting that is layered differently.
So, make a lighting plan to address every purpose your room may serve or every task you will accomplish with it. The "lighting layout" is much more important than the shape of the lamp!
The space construction of the home is relatively simple, mainly comprised of functional space and used space.
The lighting demand of the bathroom is low - basically only the main lighting is needed. Similarly, as the function of the study room is relatively single, mainly for work and study, only the desk lamp is needed to meet the lighting needs.
Under this, the space that needs lighting layout is living room, dining room, kitchen, and bedroom.
Next, we will elaborate on the reasonable layout and layer of these four spatial lighting.
Living room light
The living room is the most important space to receive visitors and is the space where the family gathers. So the layering of the light should be made much more seriously.
The trough light lights up the top of the whole room through indirect illumination based on diffuse reflection, which plays a good role in enhancing the sense of space visually.
The lining of the trough light should be simple and neat; otherwise it will be at cross purpose!
If the lamp is too small, it will greatly reduce the decorative effect. The lamp that is likely to be invisible will be pettier if it is “not big”.
When your living room is not less than 10 square meters, feel free to buy a beautiful chandelier! The size of the chandelier should not be less than 650mm. Usually the chandelier of the living room is most suitable at around 750 mm.
Of course, many families are now more willing to choose a relatively simple floor lamp and table lamp. The floor lamp and table lamp are designed to meet the reading function of the living room. The floor lamp is for reading on a single sofa, and the desk lamp is to support the reading on the sofa and at the same time to help balance the lights in the living room visually and create the layered lighting of the living room. This is the so-called "no main light" atmosphere.
The lighting of the floor lamp is reflected from the wall to the space; the desk lamp is practical and beautiful, lighting up the other side of the living room; if you have a lot of home space, you might as well add a few small spotlights to light the tea table and your favorite chair.
Dining room light
The dining room may be the simplest space in the house, and most people can make effective use of it.
The most common way to locate the lamp now is to reserve space in the middle of the suspended ceiling. However, at present, the dining table cannot be placed in the center of the room, making it difficult to place the lamp and the dining table.
The best thing to do is to make a good plan on the decoration of the dining room ahead of time, in which a position should be left in the center of the table for the chandelier.
Most of actions in the dining room take place around the table. A chandelier or a set of chandeliers can do most of the work and can light up the table food which would increase the appetite of the eater.
Therefore, the center of gravity of the light should be reduced, and the chandelier should be about 650mm away from the table top for the best.
The chandelier for the dining room, especially its lampshade, should not be designed for complete light obscuration. This will result in sharp light and shade contrast in the space and would make people very uncomfortable! If you like this kind of chandelier, you can have small power spotlights on it to achieve light balance.
When there is unoccupied space in the dining room, it is recommended to choose a sideboard cabinet that is beautiful and suitable. The sideboard cabinet can store some tableware and other items. In addition, it not only highlights the items arranged in the cabinet, but also increases the sense of lighting layer and achieves a visual balance in the dining room!
Kitchen light
The kitchen is a very important space for Chinese people. It is also the area easy to encounter problems during the lighting decoration.
Kitchen overhead lights are always integrated ceilings lights, which are now the most common and most functional light in Chinese kitchen
The kitchen integrated ceiling light is usually installed in the middle of the ceiling. Always people are moving around in the kitchen, and some of the shadows will be cast on the kitchen table, affecting the use.
In order to avoid this, operating lamp should be a choice. The operating light of the cooker hood can illuminate the hearth; the light at the bottom of the cabinet is mainly to illuminate the operating areas such as the chopping board and the washing-up sink.
Bedroom light
The bedroom is the most important rest and private space for people. The lighting layers of the bedroom should be rich, and the lighting should be soft.
It is recommended not to install the main light in the bedroom, because people always look upward or obliquely upward in the bedroom in most of the time. The ceiling light or the chandelier offers too concentrated and dazzling lighting, and the long-time strong light would impact the vision and would have an irreversible effect on vision.
Replace the chandelier with a trough light, so that the light is softer and no light is exposed. The trough light is enough to meet the general use in the bedroom!
The swing-arm wall lamp is selected for the bed side to give full play to the reading function of the bedroom. The single-controlled swing-arm wall lamp can regulate the light angle, effectively avoiding affecting others who are sleep. Besides, the wall lamp does not occupy the tight bedside area.
Setting a desk lamp on the side cabinet in bedroom can not only balance the lighting of the bedroom, but also increase the use of the side cabinet (e.g. makeup); and if there is decorative painting behind the side cabinet, the whole bedroom will be more fantastic!
When the light is not just for lighting, In fact, the light is not just for lighting; there is a lot to learn. Simply change the light of the home, and use the light to make the home more fantastic!
