Lighting can do wonders to a room. The same space can have many different atmospheres depending on the selected type of lights and their placement. Be careful though – don't base your decision solely on a pretty design. You need to consider five main aspects to choose the right light that will meet the needs of your home.
1. Size of the room
If you need to light up a larger room, you will need more types of lights. Apart from
ceiling lights,
you may also want to include some
lamps,
spotlights or
wall lights. Consider the height of the room. If your room has a high ceiling, you can afford to embellish it with a large pendant
chandelier. Rooms with a lower ceiling benefit from
wall lights or
floor lamps which create the impression of a larger, open space.
2. Purpose of the room
It's clear that different types of lighting are suitable for different rooms. One light that works in a children's bedroom won't be a good choice for a kitchen or hallway. Similarly, different parts of one room require different lighting. For example, a kitchen often has a
chandelier above the dining table and
fluorescent lights for the countertops. Additionally, see if the light has a
dimming function which is particularly useful in the bedroom, living room, or
at your desk.
3. Matching the interior
When furnishing a room, lights are usually some of the last things we buy. This enables us to base our selection on the colours of the furniture, the walls, the floor, and the carpet. Lights should complement the atmosphere of the room. Lamps in a rustic design are a great choice for a vintage-style room, while modern spaces require stylish designer lights. Fans of modern technology will love some of our
smart lights with a remote control and light colour adjustability. To determine the right placement for the lights, be sure to consider the number and position of windows.
4. Technical parameters
It's important to look into the technical parameters of the lights we want to choose. Make sure that your
bathroom lights have a sufficient
IP rating which attests that the product is waterproof. To make a budget-wise and eco-friendly choice, check out our range of energy-saving
light sources, such as
LED bulbs.
5. Energy savings
To understand the real cost of a light, you need to take into account its price, energy consumption, warranty, the lifespan of the light source, and other factors. You can't go wrong with LED technology for indoor use. LED lights are currently some of the most energy-saving options on the market. Unlike traditional light sources, LED bulbs and LED fluorescent lights will save you money. LED strips provide truly efficient illumination.
