Let’s get started with lighting tips for every room of the house!

 

• Living Room and Dining Rooms

Living rooms and dining rooms are probably the most used rooms in Indian households. These are the rooms in which the family gathers usually for different types of activities such as watching television or eating food. With the rooms you use often, the need for brightness and ambient lighting becomes important.

1. LED lights in the false ceilings as well as normal tube lights can create a similar effect.  
2. Accent lighting can also be used which can be incorporated within the shelves of a bookshelf or a showcase cupboard. 
3.  Table lamps as well as floor lamps can be used to reduce eye strain while reading a book or watching the television. 
4. A chandelier too can be incorporated into the house’s lighting system which can overall exude a luxurious vibe.

 

 

• Kitchen
  

Like the living room, the kitchen also requires bright lighting as the main focus is on the cooking and cleaning tasks. 

1. Try installing artificial lights in places that do not create shadows against the stove or the sink as the obstruction of shadows can be problematic while doing work.
2. Consider adding under-cabinet artificial lighting fixtures to your kitchen so that you can reduce your reliance on overhead lighting options.

 

• Master Bedroom

Your bedroom is the place where you rest and rejuvenate.  Therefore, the lighting there should incorporate this cozy and light feeling to help you relax better.

1. Dimmers can be a great addition to your bedroom.
2.  If you have a false ceiling, consider asking your interior designer to install concealed cove lighting to create suitable lighting for the nighttime.
3. Opt for warmer lights. 
4. Like living rooms, you can also incorporate desk lamps and floor lamps as well as accent lighting if you have a bookshelf in your room.
5.  If you have a mirror in your room consider adding bright lights such as vanity lights around it so that it can be used to the fullest and to the best of its ability.

 

• Kid’s Room

Unlike the master bedroom, the kid’s room requires a brighter lighting plan.

•  Incorporate a night light to ensure that your child is sound asleep without being scared of the dark.
•  You can also add fun elements such as glow-in-the-dark stickers and fairy lights to your child’s room.
• Desk lamps are also a necessity for the children’s study tables.
•  Try taking the advantage of natural light in the children’s room as much as possible.

 

• Bathrooms

Bathrooms do not require harsh lighting as opposed to popular belief.

•  A simple ceiling light can help you illuminate the bathroom well.
• For the mirror in your bathroom, consider adding vanity lights.
• Avoid overhead lighting as it can cast shadows.
