Effect of lighting on height
As for the visual perception of height, it is worth considering some secrets. For example, if you use a narrow lighting strip, launched along the perimeter of the ceiling, the ceiling will seem slightly higher. Another option often used today to visually increase the height is directional ceiling lighting. To do this, the light is directed from hidden fixtures, which can be located on the walls..
Significantly reduce the visualization of the ceiling height in those cases when, firstly, the ceiling itself is made in dark colors, and secondly, the light from the luminaires located on it is sent to the walls.
Similar principles apply to the room itself. With the help of bright lighting and the presence of materials having a high reflectivity, you can make the space seem larger than it really is. The role of ceiling lighting in this case is key, because if you place lights on the ceiling, which is made in glossy and light colors, you can achieve optimal re-reflection of the emitted light on the walls of the room. Not only that, changing the brightness of the fixtures, in fact, it will be possible to sort of correct the spatial perception of the room. As a result, the same room may seem spacious and, if necessary, comfortable-compact.
Effect of lighting on length
Lamps that will be located on the ceiling in a longitudinal order are able to lengthen the room due to the corresponding visual effect. Most often, this method is used in lighting various apartment corridors or corridors of houses. The same type of one-dimensional lamps, placed in a longitudinal row, always extend any room.
A couple more secrets regarding the lighting of the corridors: if at the end of the corridor the wall is brightly lit, then even the narrow space will look much wider. On the other hand, a bright ceiling lamp located in the center of the corridor can significantly shorten it visually.
