Find the right balance between natural light and artificial light is essential to our comfort and well-being.
Different lighting options available to you and it is not easy to navigate.
To not go wrong in your choices, follow our expert advice.

Effects of different light

To make a harmonious and warm lighting in your home, you must first distinguish the three light shows:

The general light

When we enter a room and lack of natural light, we instinctively seek the switch that will allow us to illuminate the entire room evenly.
This is the general light which is materialized by a fixture (chandelier, ceiling suspension) placed very often at the center of the room.

Ambient light

It allows to create intimate areas to bring warmth and pampering side of the room.
This play of light is materialized by installing two sconces or a lamp discreetly located on a small cabinet.

The light volume

To improve the lighting and create volume, this type of light is essential.
It is used spotlights to illuminate and highlight a specific object like a table for example.
Remember though not to direct the light in a place where you could stand still at risk that you dazzle.

Lighting for every room in the house

The lighting of the living room

The living room is the heart of the house, that's life piece by excellence where we spend the most time with family or friends.
It is therefore essential that this room is sufficiently lit by a general light while offering a warm atmosphere.
For this, vary the light sources.
Install a lamp post and have a little walk around lamps, chandeliers, sconces, but also that in addition to broadcast a soft light, will showcase strategic locations in your room.

The lighting in the dining room

Here, lighting is essential ! Place a chandelier or a suspension over your dining table and remember to have in the background a discreet lighting that emit diffuse light.

The kitchen lighting

The kitchen is now a place of conviviality, sharing and exchange where we spend more and more time.
As a priority, you will place a general lighting in the ceiling, that will brighten any room and provide good visual comfort. Choose preferably a metal or glass fixture, easier maintenance.
Then opt for spot lighting spot type rail or band, glare and without gray area, to illuminate different working areas (hob, sink, worktop).

The lighting in the bedroom

What is sought above all in the bedroom is a relaxing atmosphere.
The light should be soft and subdued.
Avoid bright lights and too aggressive.
But do not make the mistake of having only a single light source.
You could for example fix lamps on the walls, placing lamps and a reading lamp to clip on the headboard
Some prefer to suspension or ceiling and lamps add here and there.
Made according to your tastes and your desires!

The lighting in the bathroom

For a pleasant awakening and relax at night, choose a yellow, warm light bulbs rather than the cold white light.
If you do not have a window, try to reproduce the maximum daylight but prefer two light points.
We therefore advise you to have a ceiling light point that will offer you an even light and lighting around the mirror preferably on each side to avoid shadows on the face.

Now that you've had your fill of bright ideas, it's your turn!
