Before understanding home lighting, let’s first talk about public lighting.

Every corner is outlined with lighting details, but the light does not make people feel cluttered, but makes the art decoration and furniture more prominent and harmonious.

Good lighting design: see the light, but not the lamp

I remember that the designers of the Chrome browser said that their highest goal is that users will not feel anything when using the browser. I am using the browser and immersed in the content of the web page.

In the same way, the highest design realm of a lighting designer is to make the homeowner not feel the light source, but only feel the warmth and comfort of the room.

When you see the lighting design drawings of high-end hotels, do you start to silently lament why your own room is so different?

In fact, before decorating, you should understand some basic lighting functions and layout knowledge, and recognize the scammers of decoration companies to prevent your home from becoming a world of marquee lights and tacky ceiling lights, and a good new home will be ruined by the lights. It would be too unfair.

1. Where is light needed?

According to the functionalist design concept, when considering light sources for your home, the first thing to consider is:

"Where is light needed?" "What is light needed for?"

This issue can be considered from the following three levels:

General lighting

Lighting set up to illuminate the entire site regardless of the needs of special parts. ?

For example, the simplest light bulb. ?

Or indirect lighting that shields or decorates light bulbs.

General lighting will be placed in the center of the room to illuminate the entire space.

Many families end their home lighting design by installing a bright ceiling lamp in the room, but this is far from enough.

Functional lighting

The display rack behind the sofa, the open wardrobe in the cloakroom, the fruits on the coffee table and even the green plants in the corner all need a little concentrated light.

Whether it is for practicality or display, spotlights can make the space more focused and hierarchical.

Ambient lighting

Now that there is light in the large space, the key lighting has also been solved. Why do we need to "enhance the atmosphere" again?

Look at these examples of lighting atmosphere design:?

When you turn off the main light, the role of ambient lighting comes out.

When you need a soft environment late at night, the ambient lights that usually feel useless can help you understand why home is the haven of the soul.

No matter how dazzling the KTV private rooms are or how luxurious the hotel lobby is, they are still not as good as the corner of the sofa illuminated by the warm yellow light at home. No matter how "comfortable" or "so cool" you use to nest on the sofa, it is not enough. Express people's pleasure. ?

2. Which lights can satisfy me?

After knowing the three basic levels of lighting structure, it will be more targeted to arrange the lighting position and match the lighting with the furniture in the early stage. ?

Chandeliers

Give the space a basic lighting. The most practical ones are ceiling lamps or chandeliers.

The ceiling lamp is simple, elegant and saves money, but it is best to choose some styles with a sense of lines and geometry.

Chandeliers can be played with more tricks, and are suitable for concave shapes to attract attention. You can buy classic designs to become an eye-catching tool in your home.

Light strips and light tracks

Light strips are generally hidden in the ceiling, wall or floor to outline the outline of the space, increase indirect lighting, enrich the spatial level, and serve as functional lighting or Ambient lighting.

Wall light strips solve the problem of stair lighting.

The TV background wall light strip reduces the brightness difference between the TV picture and the back, and relieves visual fatigue.

Light strips on bathroom cabinets or ceilings provide soft and non-glaring light when you look up.

The most common loop light strip in ordinary people’s homes makes the space more layered.

However, the design of installing a light strip and placing a circle of spotlights is a bit outdated. The number of spotlights can be simplified, or a row of light rails can be used to solve key functional lighting.

Light rails have a rough industrial style. If the functional lighting at home is not well planned in the early stage, it can be solved later by using light rails. Paired with metal accessories, it can make the home feel light and luxurious. ?

Of course, it is best to arrange the location in advance during the water and electricity renovation and reserve the wire position, so that it will be more convenient to disassemble and install the lights later.

Downlights and spotlights

Can’t tell the difference between downlights and spotlights? In fact, there are still differences in the uses of the two.

A downlight can be understood as a light bulb placed in a tube. The light shines out evenly from the tube, bringing a soft and soft light source, which is suitable for ambient lighting.

The light of spotlights has clear directionality, is suitable for illuminating specific items, and is suitable for functional lighting.

Nowadays, more and more people are pursuing the lighting design of "no main light". It is a flexible solution to use a large number of downlights and spotlights as the basic lighting of the entire house.

Wall lamps, table lamps, and floor lamps

These types of lamps are highly decorative and functional, and can also be substituted for each other.

For example, whether you want to place a wall lamp or a table lamp at the bedside depends on your personal preference. So the key is to choose the right shape to add color to the overall space.

Ambient lighting can take into account the visual balance of the room. Use a floor lamp next to the sofa where people often sit, and place the same style table lamp on the coffee table opposite. The overall look will be very harmonious.

In terms of color selection, try to choose warm light sources, which can also increase the indoor atmosphere. The comparison picture below is a good illustration.

I can guarantee that anyone you look for will want to live in the second picture and be wrapped in warmth!
