How to choose lighting for your interior – the story of light that transforms space
There was an interior.
New, nice, refined.
Yet in the evening everything looked flat.
Cold. Alien.
There was no shortage of furniture. There was no light.
Light is not a bulb. It's a decision about how you want to feel in your home.
Room function and light
Before choosing a lamp, ask:
What will I do here?
- Living room – rest, conversation, peace
- Kitchen – work and precision
- Bedroom – quiet
- Office – concentration
Every place needs different light.
Light color and mood
3000K calms down. 4000K tidies up. 6000K organizes like an office.
Most often, a home needs light that doesn't shout.
How much light do you need?
Living room: 150–250 lm/m² Kitchen: 300–500 lm/m² Bedroom: 100–200 lm/m² Office: 400–500 lm/m²
Better to have several points of light than one that is tiring.
Layers of light
A good interior has layers.
Like a good story – more than one chapter.
Main. Functional. Atmospheric.
Mistakes
One lamp for everything. Light too cold. No light at work. No light to rest.
Light is design. Not a coincidence.
