Lighting affects not only the aesthetics of a room, but above all its functionality and comfort of use. In order to create a harmonious and practical space, it is worth using an approach based on four layers of lighting. In this article, we will suggest how to plan the lighting in your home, using the wide range of lamps and lighting systems available in the salonled.pl store.

Layered lighting in home arrangement

Lighting is an element of arrangement that shapes the atmosphere, emphasizes architectural details and affects the functionality of the space. In order to achieve a harmonious effect, it is worth using an approach based on four layers of lighting. Each of the layers plays a unique role, and their integrated operation creates a coherent and comfortable environment for work and rest.

General lighting

General lighting is the basis of every interior. Its main task is to evenly disperse light, which provides basic visibility throughout the room. It is general lighting that allows you to move freely without having to turn on additional light sources. General lighting can be implemented using various sources, such as ceiling lamps, ceiling lamps, LED panels or built-in spotlights. Its most important features are:

• uniform lighting of the entire room, eliminating shadows and dark corners,
• light colors that promote everyday comfort,
• energy savings thanks to LED technology while maintaining an appropriate level of brightness.

Task lighting

Task lighting is essential in places where we perform specific activities that require good visibility of the work area. Therefore, it usually focuses primarily on desks and kitchen countertops. Task lighting can be implemented using table lamps, desk lamps, under-cabinet lamps or ceiling lamps with the possibility of adjusting the direction of light.

Accent lighting

Accent lighting is used to emphasize selected interior elements, such as paintings, sculptures, plants or architectural details. Thanks to it, we can add depth and dynamics to the space, creating effective accents that attract the eye and give the interior the planned character. This lighting can be implemented using spotlights, LED strips, table lamps or wall lamps. The most important features of accent lighting include:

• focusing on specific decorative elements to give them a unique look,
• enabling experimentation with different angles of light, colors and intensity,
• creating atmospheric lighting that can change the character of the room depending on the needs and occasion.

Decorative lighting

The fourth layer that gives the interior a unique and personal character is decorative lighting. It plays not only a practical but also an aesthetic role, creating a unique atmosphere and style. It can be implemented using pendant lamps, light garlands, table lamps with unusual shapes or LED lamps with light effects. Thanks to them, decorative lighting becomes an aesthetic element, often playing a decorative role in the interior design.

Practical use of lighting layers in different rooms

Each room in the house has its own specific lighting needs. Here's how you can use four layers of lighting to fully use the potential of the interior.

Living room - a center for relaxation and meetings

In the living room, the key is to combine general lighting with accent and decorative lighting. A central ceiling lamp will provide even light, while ceiling or wall spots will highlight selected elements of the space, such as paintings or bookshelves. It is also worth considering installing pendant lamps, which - by adding elegance and style to the living room - will create a unique atmosphere during evening meetings with family or friends. It is also a good idea to introduce decorative LED lamps to the living room, creating an artistic accent that attracts the eye and adds uniqueness to the interior.

Kitchen - functionality and safety

In the kitchen, task lighting is a priority. Under-cabinet LED luminaires will perfectly illuminate worktops, allowing for safe and convenient preparation of meals. Central general lighting, such as a 35 W LED ceiling panel, will provide adequate brightness, and additional kitchen pendant lamps above the island will emphasize its central role in the space, creating a functional and aesthetic place for cooking and eating meals.

Home office – a place of concentration and efficient work

Task lighting is the most important thing in a home office. An LED desk lamp will allow you to precisely adjust the light to the user's needs, promoting concentration and work efficiency. Central general lighting, such as a surface-mounted white LED ceiling light, will provide the right level of brightness throughout the day. In turn, appropriately placed spots can emphasize important decorative elements in the room, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

Bedroom – an oasis of peace and relaxation

In this room, it is worth focusing on creating a relaxing atmosphere using accent and decorative lighting. LED wall lamps and appropriately selected tube-shaped pendant lamps will emphasize selected interior elements, creating an atmosphere conducive to relaxation. Central general lighting can be reduced to soft light that helps to calm down and prepare for sleep. A fiber optic box imitating a starry sky will create an ideal atmosphere in the bedroom for evening relaxation.
