Choose interior lighting carefully
It is hard to imagine an interior without lighting. Since we spend a considerable amount of time under lamps and chandeliers, lighting should be chosen wisely. Each light has a different color and intensity and affects us differently. Light evokes different emotions, impressions, and moods and determines the character of a room. Lamps and chandeliers should be chosen accordingly. Not all are suitable for the same room and require different types of lighting .
In the kitchen, light should be used to adequately illuminate work surfaces when cooking or eating. Spotlights or fluorescent lighting above the kitchen counter will provide sufficient light. The ideal location is under the cabinets above the kitchen. A separate retractable or hanging chandelier should be hung above the dining table. Conversely, fluorescent light would be distracting above the dining table. Hallway lighting is very important, if only for safety reasons. Spotlights that can direct light to the left or right are popular. If there are mirrors in the hallway, they should be illuminated separately. The living room is the most frequently used room. Here, one central light fixture is never enough. Several light fixtures of different light intensity should be placed. In the corner where you read or relax, you will appreciate dim light, just as you would when watching television.
In these cases, choose floor lamps. You can also opt for lighting in non-traditional colors. Green, blue, and red light can completely change the personality of an entire room. Matching lamps to the style of your home is easy. Stores offer a wide variety of decorations. If they are interesting, they can be original accessories. When choosing, remember that light walls reflect light and dark walls absorb light. When buying light bulbs, choose energy-efficient ones.
