Chandeliers, sconces and floor lamps – learning how to use light in the house

Dwellings are different, and so that in each of them you feel comfortable in the morning, afternoon or evening, there is a constant zoning. Properly selected and arranged chandeliers, floor lamps or recessed lamps can change the apartment beyond recognition. Let’s consider some of the most common problems and recommendations for solving them..

1. Small area of ​​the room. In typical apartments, the rooms are not so tiny, but the psychological sensation of the pressure of the walls does not leave many. Here you can correct the situation by gluing reflective wallpaper and installing additional lamps, for example, a small floor lamp, to illuminate the room from different directions.

2. Low ceilings. They may be so initially or fall too much after installing tension or suspension structures. If spotlights pointing up are placed on the walls, the ceiling will visually rise.

3. Too high ceilings. People make such a complaint very rarely, yet in most cases such a margin of room volume is perceived as a luxury. However, if high ceilings are a problem, then you can solve it precisely with lamps. In this case, on the walls you need to hang pictures and other objects that will alternate with beautiful sconces. It will divert attention from high ceilings..

4. Lack of comfort. Such a problem most often arises in large areas that the owners do not want to press tightly with furniture, ennoble with heavy curtains or supplement with unnecessary sculptures. A small flower garden with the right lighting will help here. For it, you can make a separate backlight built into the ceiling or do with a floor lamp with a diffused light lamp hidden in the thicket.

5. Lack of a quiet corner. At the end of the day, you always want to be in a darkened room where you can relax and get ready for bed. In an apartment, such a place can only be a bedroom, and with the right lighting. Here, the main bright light is usually not needed, so priority is given to the muted backlighting – sconces, floor lamps, table lamps and various nightlights.

To enjoy every return home, it is not necessary to have huge, expensively furnished apartments. What is at your disposal can always be made a little better, including by choosing the right fixtures.
