When it comes to choosing lighting, it's important to be careful. Lighting doesn't just affect the comfort of your home—it also has a direct impact on your health. A while back, I came across six useful principles online, and they really made sense. Here’s what I found helpful:
1. The Simplicity Principle: Lighting should act as a finishing touch in the room. Overly complex shapes or bright colors can clash with a minimalist design. Choosing simple, clean-style lights not only looks better but is also easier to maintain and clean.
2. The Convenience Principle: Most people have experienced the hassle of changing a ceiling bulb—climbing on chairs, standing on tiptoe, reaching up high. When selecting lights, make sure it's easy to replace bulbs. In rooms without ceilings, hanging lights are a good choice since they're closer to the ground and more accessible.
3. The Energy-Saving Principle: Energy-saving bulbs are not only efficient in terms of power consumption and brightness, but they also generate less heat, making them ideal for multi-bulb fixtures. Most energy-saving bulbs use standard screw bases, and chandeliers come in two types: one that works with energy-saving bulbs and another that doesn’t. Be cautious—spotlights are often not energy-efficient.
4. The Safety Principle: Always choose lamps from reputable manufacturers. Trusted products will clearly state the total load capacity, helping you determine how many watts you can safely use, especially for multi-head chandeliers (number of heads × watts per bulb = total load). In humid areas like bathrooms and kitchens, waterproof lighting is essential.
5. The Functionality Principle: Different rooms require different lighting styles based on their purpose. The living room should have bright, elegant lighting; the bedroom needs soft, relaxing light that helps you sleep; children’s rooms should be well-lit and colorful; bathrooms need clean, simple designs; kitchens benefit from easy-to-clean fixtures. You can also use spotlights above a piano or in areas where specific lighting is needed.
6. The Coordination Principle: Lighting should complement the overall decor of the room. If there are multiple lights in the same space, they should match in color or style to create a harmonious look.
Many people spend a lot of time thinking about lighting during home renovations. They read a lot online and eventually end up buying online because stores often have limited options and higher prices. Online shops offer a wide variety of styles, often at lower prices. Plus, they’re popular, have great reviews, and provide quality products at an affordable cost. It’s a smart and stylish choice!
