Good lighting is essential for the interior of the home. This can affect the mood, environment and also provides warmth.
There are three types of lighting for the home that must be understood to carry out a good development: ambient, focal and decorative light. Keeping this in mind will ensure that your home not only looks much better, but also functions on a practical level.
One of the main reasons we buy lighting is to meet a practical or functional need. Mood lights act as a natural light replacement in our homes and are often fitted with ceiling lights, hanging in the center of the room for even lighting. There are countless lamps to choose from and of various styles for all tastes. A simple, modern pendant light for a soft, warm glow is one of our favorite options.
Depending on the size of your room, hanging clusters of three or four lamps in a spacious or open-plan living room may be a good option. Likewise, dining rooms look wonderful with a pendant light above the dining table.
For bedrooms, we strongly recommend lamps that offer a delicate glow, ideal for creating calm and relaxed atmospheres. Certain lamps can also become decorative pieces and be protagonists in the room, even when the light is off.
We stock a wide variety of beautiful pendant lights in many styles, sizes and colours. Do not hesitate to contact us to get personalized advice.
Spotlights are mainly used when an additional point of light is usually needed for a particular task, such as working at a desk, writing or reading.
Desk lamps are a common source of functional lighting, offering direct, intense light. Those with a mobile arm are very functional because the light can be directed exactly where it is needed. We can also find light regulation systems, so that we can achieve the optimal level of light.
Kitchens are best illuminated by spotlights or wall lights. This type of lighting offers a focused and unimpeded light.
They are fixed with hidden wiring and can often be manually rotated to direct the light in the preferred direction.
Once you have organized the basic lighting, you can start thinking about adding decorative lighting to your room to get that extra touch that conveys your own personality. If you’ve worked out the above keys well, you shouldn’t need too much practical consideration. Your judgment and personal style will determine which designs are the best. There are sophisticated, surprising or really extravagant lamps. There are playful designs that are undoubtedly capable of promoting conversations.
When it comes to choosing the ideal lighting for the bathroom, safety is an essential factor.
The lights are given an Ingress Protection (IP) rating that measures the light’s resistance to water and dust particles. Bathroom lights must be at least IP44, which means they are splash proof. Once you know what IP rating you need, you can start thinking about the style. Ceiling sconces and spotlights are a great choice for the bathroom area as they are more compact, have no dangling cords and therefore no need to worry. It is important to note that the main light in the bathroom must be turned on by a light switch located outside the bathroom.
Outdoor lights can be simple with subtle lighting, or an eye-catching focal point.
As with the bathroom area, we need to ensure security and IP ratings. Exterior lights must be at least IP44, which ensures that they are protected against splashes and general wear and tear of exteriors. There are a variety of lights available for your outdoor space, ranging from simple wall lights to elegant pole pathways and decorative pendant lights. Keep in mind that when installing outdoor lighting, all wiring must be protected and all metalwork grounded. Also, where possible, switches should be located indoors.
