BY ROOMS
Optimum lighting of all rooms is extremely important - as it affects both the practical and aesthetic character of the entire arrangement. When planning the renovation of an apartment or decorating a new house, it is also worth preparing a concept for the placement of hanging and standing lamps.
Lighting in the living room
W living room the main source of lighting will be pendant lamps. If the room is not large, it is enough to place one chandelier located in the center of the ceiling. However, if our living room is spacious and connected to the dining room, we should use more light sources. We can choose to mount a pendant lamp over the seating area and over the top of the dining table. An alternative would be a chandelier installed near the couch and a stand lamp placed on the table. In addition, let's plan additional lighting in each living room. For this purpose, decorative wall sconces will work perfectly, that will illuminate your favorite paintings or keepsake trinkets, set on a dresser.
Pendant and standing lamps in the kitchen
Although in kuchnand we usually spend a great deal of time, we pay much less attention to the selection of lighting for it. This is a mistake that makes the interior may not be functional enough, and its aesthetics will leave much to be desired. To improve the appearance of the kitchen, let's take care to carefully brighten the work surface of countertops. The optimum effect will be obtained by using halogens placed in the plasterboard or lamps hanging, evenly distributed over the entire length of the kitchen cabinets. We can also consider installing adjustable headlights that will allow us to direct the light to the most sensitive areas. If there is a dining table in the kitchen, also remember to illuminate it with a chandelier or standing lamps. We can put the selected model on the tabletop, and when its surface does not allow it - also on the window sill, under which the table will be set.
Bathroom lighting
Another place where you can often notice the lack of sufficient light sources, is the bathroom. Even if its square footage is not the largest, we should not give up at least general and work lighting. Main pendant lamp placed on the ceiling will allow you to comfortably take a bath and use the toilet. If it will be located in close proximity to a bathtub or shower, let's choose copies with higher IP, which will ensure safe operation even in case of contact with water. In addition, in every bathroom we should take care of side lighting in the form of wall lamps. Placed above or to the sides of the mirror, it will greatly facilitate daily grooming and perfect makeup application.
Standing lamps and chandeliers for bedrooms
Although as children we were probably afraid of the dark and slept with the light on, even in adulthood we are much less likely to appreciate the importance of the pendant lamps i sconces in your bedroom. Meanwhile, they are responsible for setting the mood in the room where we usually spend at least a third of the day. What models will work best in a room designed for sleep and relaxation? The basis will be a chandelier that will provide effective lighting throughout the interior. It will be indispensable when we get down to evening cleaning or pick out clothes from the closet for the next day. In addition to a pendant lamp, a wall lamp or a standing model should become an indispensable bedroom accessory. Located near the bed ? over his headrest or on the top of the nightstand, they will make it easier to comfortably read a book, listen to an audiobook or wake up to a child who happens to be tormented by nightmares known to us from childhood.
