Designer Corner # 7 - Interior Lighting

The amount of lighting in a room can significantly affect its appearance and usability. Lights should be selected due to their usability and the function they perform.

How can you properly illuminate a room?

Artificial light is an imitation of natural light, which is the sunlight. There should be three types of lights in every room:

• The leading light - takes the central place in the room. Its task is to illuminate the room evenly. The lamp should be selected according to the room size. It would be, for example, a large chandelier or a slender pendant lamp.

• Task light - is the light that we use when performing a specific activity. It is, for example, a standing desk lamp, a table lamp, or a wall lamp. It should have adjustable stands.

• Decorative light - is an additional light that serves only as a decorative element and gives a subtle touch of illumination. It could be a crystal wall lamp or other small, designer lights.

Thanks to the lighting, you can create exciting interiors that will attract the eyes and delight your visitors. For a long time, it has been known that the combination of plants and light gives an exciting result in shadow play.

How to influence the room's appearance?

Lighting directed at the ceiling optically enlarges the room. The light illuminating the floor gives the impression of a lower and darker interior. Darkening the lower zones of the walls enlarges the space visually. Lighting a room with wall lamps makes the interior seem smaller.

Light color temperature

Each room requires the correct color of light. Choosing a warm or cool color has a functional significance and affects our mood and well-being.

Warm lighting affects our minds to feel more relaxed and at ease. But a cool lighting turns into a blue and is best for everyday work.
