Correct lighting in our home can make the difference between a bland space and a cozy and warm atmosphere. Although there are no fixed rules, there are some tips depending on each area we want to illuminate.
A well-lit home goes beyond a good choice of lamps. It involves an evaluation of the investment in light bulbs, the layout of the house and even the time we will spend there. But the result is worth it, and good lighting has multiple benefits. For a start, helps to successfully complete daily activities, Therefore, productivity increases, prevents health problemssuch as visual fatigue, reduces energy consumption and improves our mood.
How to achieve efficient and harmonious lighting? From Healthy Housing we remember that we must always bet, as far as possible, on natural lighting since, among other benefits, it increases creativity, provides a feeling of optimism and visual well-being.
Previously, it was thought that having large gaps was linked to worse thermal insulation, but given the evolution that the window sector has experienced, now We can install large windows that allow natural light to enter without affecting our comfort.. Yes, we must be demanding when it comes to choosing them and opt for windows with high thermal performance, such as PVC ones with Kömmerling systems.
On the other hand, depending on the characteristics of each room, you can choose some elements and supports to illuminate, or others. Let’s review some of them:
Although the uses of the dining room can be very different, in general it is interesting that let’s give light to the sofa area. It is convenient that it be an indirect, dimmable, warm and soft light (about 20 W). If you light from the ceiling, the ideal is to install LEDs around the perimeter of the room, so that the light is distributed throughout the room.
Support lamps can be used for when you don’t need the general ceiling light, with table lamps on the side tables next to the sofa (or a standing one if you don’t have a table). In addition to lighting, they are an excellent decorative element.
The television should be illuminated from behind with a soft light, or from the side. If you have a bookcase or a large dining room furniture in your living room, you can illuminate it with recessed spotlights or with a rail of spotlights that you can move.
Having a window in the bathroom is great and not only to have adequate ventilation, but to enjoy natural light. Of course, it is important Make sure it is clear to encourage the entry of light
For general lighting, if the bathroom is not excessively large, a single general light point is usually enough. The LED technology lights – with their low consumption – are perfect for spaces like the bathroom.
For specific lighting that allows us to carry out certain activities such as getting ready, putting on makeup or shaving, we can place adjustable spotlights or several wall lights in the sink area. It is important that you do not face the mirror.
Kitchen lighting
The kitchen is a work space that must have good light. There must always be general lighting that provides uniform lighting. The work area in countertops must have spot light reinforcement to complement the general one and avoid shadows while you work, which can be achieved by placing warm LEDs.
Bedroom lighting
We must think of at least three different points of light. First of all, for reading, with a table lamp that allows you to read comfortablyHey, it provides enough light. There are also other alternatives if you do not have (or want) to have a bedside table, such as ceiling lamps or wall lights. Then, lighting to create a relaxed atmosphere (it is important that the intensity can be regulated and adjusted to what each person wants) and that, in a certain way, induces us to sleep. And lastly, lighting for dressing (ceiling light). It is a combination that will help you make the bedroom look and be able to do your daily tasks comfortably.
Another activity that requires optimal lighting, regardless of the room where it is carried out, is studying or any activity that requires focusing your eyes. In that case we must have a homogeneous light, which must be uniform around the place where we are located and the elements involved in the study (books, notes, screens…) which is where we fix our gaze.
