Hello! I meet you again. Today I will share with you the knowledge of lighting layout.

Lighting layout must not be taken lightly, as it directly affects the tone and comfort of the entire space. Let’s first take a look at the different forms of lighting layout in different spaces...

Lighting Different forms:

①Indirect lighting, achieving lighting effect through various reflections. Compared with other functions, indirect lighting can bring soft light, which is beneficial to relaxation.

② Scene lighting, which focuses on lighting a certain part of the space to emphasize the presence of the space, often appears in living rooms and restaurants.

③ Auxiliary lighting, the light does not directly act on the area where people usually are. Generally, it mainly plays a role in setting off the atmosphere of the space to achieve a decorative effect. Commonly seen in light strips, light strings, wall lamps, etc.

④Direct lighting, directly projecting light to a designated area. Same as accent lighting, it is the brightest among the five types of light sources.

⑤Accent lighting: focus on lighting in some spaces. Use spotlights, table lamps, downlights, floor lamps, etc. to better distinguish the primary and secondary spaces in the same space.

Let’s talk about practical lighting design solutions for everyone according to the functional area for reference.

Living room:

Compared with other spaces, the living room is larger in area. It also undertakes functions such as daily reception, chatting, film and television leisure, etc., and is the highlight of the entire decoration. , so the lights in the living room will have more combination functions.

Chandelier (situational lighting) + floor lamp (accent lighting) + direct (auxiliary lighting)

This is the most common lighting combination. It is recommended to determine the circuit point at the bottom of the document. When viewing, determine the centerline positions of the sofa and TV, so that the presentation effect will be more beautiful.

Be sure to measure the size of one side of the video wall. Don’t end up with the light hitting the TV perfectly, otherwise you will have to endure the reflective TV effect.

Chandelier (situational lighting) + table lamp (accent lighting) + light strip (auxiliary lighting)

Another way to match the main light, compared with the previous one, the light will be more Be gentle. The light strip itself has an angry effect. The light strip is embedded in the ceiling, and the light will be more comfortable and soft after secondary reflection.

If you like a little romance at home, you can refer to this design. Moreover, this kind of design naturally integrates the fresh air system or central air conditioning, with a simple structure and unified overall structure. The light strip also plays a role in expanding the visual space.

Chandelier (situational lighting) + spotlight (accent lighting)

Spotlights will have a better focusing effect. If there are hanging paintings or hand-painted decorations on the wall, you might as well try it. This method of lighting matching makes the wall have light and dark colors, and even if there are not many decorations, it will have a sense of hierarchy.

Downlight (situational lighting) + table lamp (accent lighting)

If you want to break away from the same decoration, you can try to use downlights to replace the main lights in the living room. The advantage of exposed downlights is that they do not use suspended ceilings to increase floor height, and the light-gathering effect is much better than that of chandeliers. It is very easy to achieve different effects of light and dark in the space.

Floor lamp (accent lighting)

Friends who like simplicity can install only one floor lamp in the living room. Relatively speaking, other areas will appear much darker. But at night, the corner of the sofa will have a special feeling. The lamp arm can be moved freely. You can lie lazily on the sofa with a glass of milk and a book, and enjoy the leisurely free time. It's so beautiful that I can't believe it. Reading will not hurt your eyes.

Restaurant:

The family sat around the table, with the crystal-clear dishes serving a sumptuous and delicious dinner. The family talked and laughed, and talked about the day's work and life. From what I saw and heard, how could such a warm moment lack a supportive light?

In addition to yellow light, you must not choose any other lighting in the restaurant, because a large number of design processes have been verified for you, otherwise it will overshadow the delicious food.

And after some comparison, we found that the chandelier is the best match for the dining table, and also has the effect of stretching the space.

Chandelier (situational lighting)

Chandeliers in restaurants are preferred to have downward-facing lampshades to prevent excessively bright yellow light from causing dizziness. And it is not recommended that the style of the lamp be too complicated, the simpler, the better.

Chandelier (situational lighting)

Pay attention to the warm and warm atmosphere. The distance between the chandelier and the dining table should not be too close. Control it at about 65-80cm, which is almost the same as the line of sight when we are standing. At a high position, the light can be spread evenly on the table, and the food will look more delicious and appetizing.

Chandelier (situational lighting) + light string/light strip (auxiliary lighting)

Let me tell you a little trick, you can play like this if you have a mood, choose a chandelier that can adjust the light, Turn down the brightness when you're on a date. Maybe the man/goddess sitting in front of you will be attracted to you because of this, and you'll be in a good mood.

Bedroom:

Most of the standard features in bedrooms are this, but even though everyone installs them, we don’t mainly recommend this design. The space of most bedrooms is about 8-12 square meters. A large chandelier can easily make the space cramped, and a small chandelier will inevitably make it look petty.

If you encounter such a good-looking bedside lamp next to your bed, don’t ask for a table lamp. After all, appearance trumps everything. The slightly yellowish light is also enough to meet the needs of the bedside.

Chandelier (direct lighting) + table lamp (accent lighting)

The design without main lamp, which has been very popular in the past two years, makes the space look wider, borrowing the design of the wall and desktop The space illuminates the bedroom.

Although it is not as bright as a chandelier that fills the corner with light, the alternating light and dark atmosphere is more suitable for the bedroom and will make people more and more tempted to sleep. Friends who have insomnia or are prone to difficulty falling asleep may wish to give it a try.

Wall lamp (direct lighting) + table lamp (accent lighting)

Small string lights have always been children's favorite. It is better to hang them along the bedside in the bedroom and turn off the chandelier before going to bed. Tell stories with your children in this beautiful environment, and the dark environment can easily make your children fall asleep.

Kitchen:

Most kitchens will leave 1-2 LED square lights to meet the basic needs Lighting, but for all of you, you will always encounter backlight when cutting vegetables and washing dishes. Therefore, in addition to basic lighting in the kitchen, it is recommended to add light strips as auxiliary lighting. It can be designed under the wall cabinet.

Downlight (direct lighting) + light strip (auxiliary lighting)

Shading has a greater impact on the kitchen operating area and cleaning area, and cutting vegetables and mincing meat are inevitable in these places. "Playing with a big knife" must be seen clearly and carefully. You can borrow cabinet space to add light sources to these two places.

For example, a good designer will study kitchen light sources in kitchen design. Where the light source is insufficient, he will recommend reserving circuit power and designing light strips. At the same time, we will connect with the overall kitchen merchants and reserve a well-designed position.

Of course, if it is installed, can it still be repaired?

There are naturally ways to do this. Led lamps with batteries and rechargeable models (you can see this lamp in the wardrobe area of ??IKEA) or the "Paipa lamp" on a certain treasure can all help. Very simple and easy to operate.

Downlight (direct lighting) + chandelier (accent lighting)

A larger kitchen will inevitably have an island, and this downlight may not be enough. You can add a chandelier to the island. When the family is reunited during the holidays, it is also fun to make dumplings here.

Today’s sharing ends here!
