Come home, sit back, relax and feel good. What better place to do this than in your living room? Everyday life offers a lot of stress and unrest, while your own four walls offer space for tranquillity. To design the living room properly and benevolently, countless possibilities open up. In this context, the value of optimal lighting can not be overestimated, because light has important effects on our bodies! With a clever lighting concept that includes both energizing and relaxing lights, appropriate lighting is available in any situation.
Relaxation with the Right Light
When it's dark and rainy outside, we usually feel sluggish and can't really get going. As soon as a few rays of sunlight touch the ground, the tired soul wakes up and is awakened to new life. So light changes our mood and state of mind. Warm, soft light, for example, has a very calming effect. When you want to get cozy, you turn on the light and relaxation kicks into high gear.
In principle, it is advisable to install bright basic lighting for every room; ceiling lights are usually a good choice for this. But only the combination of several light sources enlivens the room structure and prevents disturbing shadows. Ideally, you create several light zones, for example, with floor lamps and wall luminaires. In the final step, decorative accents can be added to further optimize the lighting structure.
For workrooms, daylight white (colour temperature > 5,300 Kelvin) LED lamps are recommended to keep concentration high; for hobby rooms, neutral white lighting is often ideal (3,300 to 5,300 K). Contemporary LED lamps are capable of emitting light in many different colours.
Install Different Light Sources
However, as soon as you rummage in your cabinets and look for something, this light is not enough and you are in the dark. For this purpose, it is advisable to install other bright lamps such as swivelling ceiling spotlights, so that the darkness is illuminated in a targeted manner and you can also work in the living room. Lighting can also be integrated into furniture such as the closet, which saves a lot of space. By installing the light source behind a piece of furniture, you can create indirect light.
Very Trendy: Natural Materials and Coherent Lighting
At the moment, natural materials are very trendy. Wood plays a fundamentally important role, so you can easily bring a bit of artsy-comfortable country flair into your living room. This is how you get life into the rooms and the cosiness is not long in coming.
Whether country style or modern elegance with white high-gloss furniture - when decorating, it should never be forgotten that every room gains enormously from an ensemble of lights, both in aesthetic and purely practical terms. In any case, the right light is certainly important for our well-being.
