When it comes to establishing good home lighting, the following basic principles should be followed:
Consider the Ambient or General Lighting
You can install a pendant light in any room and it would provide a splash of light that can illuminate the space beautifully. This can also be augmented by installing wall or sconce lights.
A luxurious chandelier like the Adrian Light serves as both an effective general lighting fixture as well as an eye-catching ceiling element. It is also very energy efficient and uses 19 LED bulbs, with the light beams diffused by the surrounding crystals.
Another great ambient lighting solution is the Anne 4 light which is perfect for those who prefer sleek and modernist lines. This is a semi-minimalist approach to interior designing, with a bit of eccentricity added through the curving stems that branch out from the middle of the fixture.
Provide Task Lights
Good examples of “task lights” would include under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen area as well as a dedicated pendant light over your study or coffee table. The beams of these task lights are concentrated on a small area which helps highlight any tasks that needs to be done.
End tables can easily be lit with the help of the Boleyn Light. The sleek lines and rectangular design compliments any room design. The brightness and contrast can be tweaked, depending on your choice of bulb. For writing tasks, choose cool or daylight bulb. For more relaxed activities such as reading, opt to install a warm white type of bulb.
Add Touches of Accent Lights
Accent lights highlight certain home elements like your ceiling line or indoor plants. These can also light up corners that are otherwise left unnoticed.
The Albert Light shown below is perfect for lighting up certain corners and highlighting floor-mounted accents without calling too much attention to itself.
Incorporate Decorative Lights Where Possible
Decorative lights are very different in purpose when compared to accent lights. These lighting options are, by themselves, art pieces. When you place decorative lights in your home, they also serve as conversation pieces. They can serve as the highlight or centerpiece to a room.
The beautiful Helen lighting fixture shown above is a very romantic choice that features floral designs and crystals. It draws the eye in and provides an added element of texture to the wall it is fixed on.
Another great addition for your table tops would the Maria 1 light shaped as a rose. It is unique, but still quite a classic that would fit in almost any environment you place it in.
You can amplify the effect of your lighting by choosing elegantly-colored fixtures. Many designers opt for brass or chrome colored lighting fixtures. The use of crystals is a favourite for many and it can be considered a classic; they instantly bring romance and charm to any room.
Choosing one from the variety of options available can be very daunting. To help you, here are a few simple things to keep in mind:
Start with task lighting
Identify the spaces in your room where you will be doing specific tasks in such as writing or preparing food. Make sure that you light these spaces well; choose function over aesthetics if needed.
Add accent lighting
Add accent lighting to highlight your ceiling and floor lines. Make sure that the light they give off isn’t not too strong or too bright. Choose subtle and low-level types of lights.
Add decorative lighting
An example of decorative lighting is a center-table type of installation. This would serve as a conversation piece and should complement any other design elements added around it.
Finish with General Lighting
Lastly, choose general lighting that will work well with the existing lighting choices you already made. It has to serve its function well so do make sure you choose things that light spaces beautifully, yet efficiently.
