A well -lit room must be equipped with several light sources: functional lighting, room lighting, but also soft lighting for a soothing atmosphere, which will contribute to relaxation and falling asleep.
Because the room is a place where you have to be able to meet in peace, relax and of course, sleeping, it is essential to have Lighting that encourages serenity. You also have to be able to modulate light according to your needs, and create atmospheres. So we will install several kinds of lighting.
We will favor a sifted light. The most relaxing room of the house needs a studied lighting which intelligently modulates dim light and punctual light, especially in the event that the room hosts a workspace. For a cozy atmospherebet on wall lights equipped with a tinged bulb for relaxing virtues. A lampshade type lamp can also be suitable – it diffuses a nice halo of light – provided that it is at the right height.
Never rest on the only light of bedside lamps that makes the rest of the room too dark. Remember to light up a table, a closet or a shelf with directed spots. Install small lights, here and there, with pastel bulbs to give your room a softer atmosphere. For the practical side, think of the ceiling lamp connected to a variator switch placed near your bed. Ideal not to have to get up.
It is important to choose Individual bedside lamps provided, if possible, of a intensity variatorwhich will allow you to read easily, or on the contrary to sift light and create a Zen or more intimate environment. Rather choose them with a beam directed towards the surface to light so as not to hinder the neighbor. You can opt for a installation lamp equipped with a little aggressive pastel bulb, sconces or an adjustable contemporary lamp.
If you choose sconces, place them in the middle of the bed and not on each side, as we are used to seeing. Thus, you will get a uniform light without shade effect. You can also swap the sconces for a large light strip that will take the whole width of your bed. Equip it with fluorescent tubes tinged with pink for romanticism and sweetness. The height of refinement: very low voltage spots embedded on the ceiling, controlled by a variator judiciously integrated into the head of the bed, to fall asleep under a starry sky …
Depending on the size of the room, one or two additional lamps can also be placed on a dresser or a dressing table.
It is also essential to haveGood utility lighting. Even if the room is not a living room, it is important to be able to settle there comfortably to study, but also to store, clean up … you have to see clearly. Here we provide lighting lights, such as pretty suspensions, which also equips a drive there to be able to adjust the brightness to his needs. For the office area, we install an adapted, powerful lamp without being dazzling, especially if you work on a computer.
It is interesting here to play with the architecture of the play. Because a room located under the roofs can sometimes be a little dark, we do not ignore the suspensions, sconces and other lights essential for good permanent lighting. But we will also be able to opt for a Decorative lighting which will enhance the exposed beams and the sub-payments. Lighting at ground level for example is a good option to create light games. Do not hesitate to install either Several lighting levelswith pretty lamps to put on a dresser or a shelf.
In a dark room, it is always better to multiplying light sources. This allows the lighting to be distributed with precision, and leaves enough options to modulate the intensity and create atmospheres. To see as well as well as in full day, including when it is dark outside, provide the equivalent of 60W for sconces and/or suspensions. You can also opt for A nomad lamptype stroller, original and practical lamp, which is moved according to your needs, ideal for overcoming the possible absence of a ceiling light, or bring an additional touch of light to a specific location.
