How to Design Household Lighting

When you start to build a new home or rebuild a home, it's the best time to design lighting. The key to a successful lighting design is to work with the line system at the same time. Before that, furniture layout and wall decoration need to be considered.

 

The main points to be considered in lighting design are functional lighting (e.g. reading or kitchen chopping), environmental lighting, and finally key lighting. Lighting can also create rich levels and effects like interior materials and colors.

 

For example, you can use the spotlight to provide functional lighting, environmental lighting and key lighting. If separate control is carried out, different atmospheres can be transformed. You can also choose table lamps or floor lamps to provide environmental lighting and functional lighting. This practice is more successful in the living room. Therefore, in order to put lamps next to the sofa, you may need to set up sockets in the middle of the floor. Focus lighting, such as lighting a favorite painting with an embedded point source, or lighting a bunch of flowers on a coffee table with a narrow beam of light, creates a spatial focus. Or you can install lamps carefully in niches or shelves.

 

By emphasizing the architectural features of the room, a dramatic effect can be created, such as an open fireplace or a curved doorframe. In a pillared room, light illuminates the side of the pillar and creates a dramatic spot on the ceiling by installing a lamp embedded in the floor near the bottom of the pillar.

 

Whenever you use the spotlight to do environmental lighting, avoid direct firing on the top of your head. Because we all know that the feeling of standing directly under the spotlight is not very comfortable. By illuminating a wall or cabinet with a spotlight, there will be more reflective light in the space, which will soften the ambient lighting. When using low-pressure spotlights, avoid having to keep the ceiling symmetrical, but consider what you want to light up. For example, let the spotlight aim at a picture or a table. Do not line up the spotlight, because it looks like an office.
