Minimalist atmosphere with rich lighting
Varieties of lighting
First of all, lighting is the light entering the house through the windows, to which transparent roofs, walls and other projects are sometimes added. The intensity of natural light is due to the side of the world on which the windows and the size of the openings come out. The minus of natural light is the frequency associated with the movement of the planet around its axis and therefore for half a day we do not see sunlight and then artificial lighting will be required.
Windows to the floor pass enough light in the daytime
Artificial lighting devices are mounted in a certain place and evenly fill the room or part of it with light. Artificial light is divided into:
- directed, worker or point, when the backlight requires a certain area, it is mainly in demand on the desktop, in the kitchen, places of rest in the living room, near mirrors or beds, etc.
- Decorative light or backlight is designed to draw attention to works of art, frame, lighting of shelves, cornices, etc. Its function is purely aesthetic
- Night lighting operates in the dark, mount it mainly along the stairs, in the corridor, children’s room and other places where there is a danger of injured in the dark.

Lighting standards in different rooms
Only a specialist should calculate the lighting in the house and mount it, since defects and improper handling of wired and electrical appliances threatens with fire, electric shock and other dangers.
The lighting rate is calculated by the formula, taking into account the sanitary norms and the area of the room, the purpose of the room, the number and age of future inhabitants.

According to the standard, lighting in a living room is from 150 lux, in household and auxiliary – from 50 lux.
In general, the light in brightness is:
- soft – up to 50 lcs
- bright – 150-300 lcs
- Intensive bright – more than 300 lux, but is not used for residential premises.
When planning lighting, they also rely on the power of lamps of various species at the rate of 1 sq.m.: halogen (10-15 W), incandescent (20-30 W), LEDs-4-5 watts.
When choosing light sources, take into account the color temperature measured in Kelvins: warm glow – 2000/3000 K, neutral light – 3000/6000 K and cold light – from 6000 K

Home lighting devices
It is not recommended to be limited to one light source in the house, interior designers say that there should not be dark corners in the room, and therefore the main lighting device is supplemented with small lamps or lighting. Lighting scenarios are also popular, where there are no ceiling lamps, and all zones are lit locally, for example, as in houses in the American style.
Combined lighting: Stained ceiling lamp and LED lamps
Ceiling lamps
Chandelier or lamps belong to basic lighting, local and directed type. The chandeliers are ceiling and suspended, the latter are adjustable in height. Classic chandeliers multi -stage or with several horns with plafones, modern ceiling chandeliers are structures made of LED ribbons or halogen lamps controlled from the remote control.

This is a wall lamp, directed. These lighting devices are mounted in places where local backlight is needed – near the chair, sofa, above the bed, on the sides of the mirror, etc.
Bra is mounted on a moving or stationary bracket, adjusting the direction of the beam of light. Open cryphones emit light in all directions, or up and down. If muffled light is required, a sconce with a closed plafon is selected, the transparency of the lampshade (matte or transparent) affects the intensity of the glow.

Table lamp and floor lamp
This type of lighting can be functional and decorative, that is, to illuminate the necessary area and decorate it, for example, a bedside table or desktop. This is a great option for a children’s desk.
Modern lighting designers are not limited to traditional forms and technologies. The batteries, mobile and without cords are extremely popular. Their disadvantage is that if you do not monitor the level of battery charge, they can let them down at any time.
Designer table lamps
What is better to choose a desk lamp, the interior style, the estimated functionality and the place of use determine. A table lamp for reading is a classic device on a hard leg with different forms of lampshades: from plastic and glass, to fabric and rice paper. For work and study, lamps with a flexible foot or on a clamp are appropriate.
The floor lamp is endowed with the same functions as the desktop option, but is installed on the floor, most often by the bed or chairs for reading.

Built -in lighting
These are a variety of point, rotary, stationary and linear lamps. A separate group is allocated spots for basic, directed or decorative lighting.
Party lamps, stationary or rotary, are appropriate in any room from the front hall to the bathroom. Also, built -in lighting is often mounted in furniture (cabinet, dressing room, cabinets, under the bed and on the kitchen desktop).
Spots- modern type of lighting devices
Sands are a modern type of local lighting consisting of lamps on a movable bracket. Turning mechanisms allow you to change the direction of the beam. On one rod you can place one or more spots.
Scenario of the apartment of the apartment
Each residential or utility room in the house requires different lighting and design of lighting devices.
There is rarely a window in the hallway, and therefore the input area must be lighting. It is not necessary to hang a chandelier on the ceiling, it is quite possible to do with linear or point lighting. In the classic scenario in a spacious corridor, a lamp under the ceiling (general lighting) is mounted and a mirror, a closet and other objects are additionally illuminated.
In the cramped space, the chandelier is inappropriate, because the room is equipped with local lighting, including decorative lighting.
Lighting in the hallway
The living room has the richest lighting scenario. In this room, with rare exceptions, there are always windows from their size and location in relation to the cardinal points of the world select lighting devices for the evening time of the day. The living room must have central light – one or more chandeliers (depending on the area of the room), as well as local lights – at the sofa, armchairs. With a united space of the living room with a dining room, kitchen or cabinet, the lighting script expands. Decorative light is used in a fireplace, cabinets, paintings, in niches or cabinets with books or art objects.
Lighting in the living room
The kitchen needs the upper light, the backlighting of the working surface and the dining table. Depending on the area of the room, additional light may be needed. For example, the bar or “island” must be highlighted separately. There should be no dark corners in the kitchen, but excessively bright lighting there is inappropriate.
Lighting in the kitchen
In the bedroom, soft and warm light is used, sometimes refusing to light lighting, mounting LED lighting around the perimeter of the room or in the head of the head. The classic scenario of the bedroom lighting implies all varieties of lighting devices. Of great importance when developing the lighting plan is the size of the window and its location relative to the side of the world. A large panoramic window overlooking south or west will let the sun’s rays into the bedroom more than the northern or eastern window will pass longer.
Cozy light in the bedroom
First of all, lighting in the apartment should create a cozy atmosphere with a pleasant temperature and color of light, be located at a comfortable height. Access to the switches is mounted in comfortable places so that to turn on the lamps you do not have to get up or stretch to it. The decor of lighting devices is a matter of personal taste and the chosen style of decoration of the room.
