When it comes to lighting design, many people's first reaction is "light is good, dark is bad" and "as long as a main light is installed in the center of the space". But is this really the case in real life?
Use lighting to create an indoor atmosphere
To this end, Xiaobian specifically asked professional lighting designers and interior designers, and they gave a consistent answer - it is better to light at night or be darker. If you can suppress the excessive brightness and unpleasant vertigo in the room, and create a dark space with both light and shadow with warm lighting, then the "comfortable darkness" will make the night colorful.

That being the case, how to use lighting to make your home more warm and comfortable? Below, Xiaobian summarized some practical lighting design methods in the home space for everyone, let's take a look at it
NO.1 Remove the glare of the light source in the bedroom from sight
When it comes to lighting in the home space, we can't help but mention the bedroom, good bedroom lighting can allow us to relax fully, and quickly fall asleep, improve the quality of sleep.
In real life, we often encounter situations when lying in bed and being blinded by the lights. In this case, the installation of a polarized downlight and its installation at the foot of the bed can effectively avoid this situation.
1- Installed at the foot of the bed can avoid direct viewing of the light source, can add table lamp auxiliary lighting; 2- installed at the head of the bed will cause people to feel dazzling
The installation of polarized downlights in the corner of the bed does not interfere with indirect illumination on the side of the pillow
NO.2 Create a beautiful night scene with a projection on the living room window
Careful friends may find that their glass windows have two sides - transparent windows during the day and mirrors at night. Therefore, we must make full use of this when arranging home lighting to make the space more interesting.
Adjust the brightness inside and out
When the indoor brightness is greater than the outdoor brightness, the window will become a "mirror" to reflect the indoor scene clearly; and when the indoor brightness is reduced and the trees in the courtyard are illuminated with spotlights, we can clearly see the outdoor scenery through the window.
The ceiling lighting is set to 100%, and then the courtyard lights are extinguished, at which point the glass windows are completely transformed into mirrors
Use a dimmer to reduce the brightness of the room, and then light the spotlights in the courtyard, you can enjoy the night view of the courtyard
When the brightness of the interior is reduced, the view from the window is clearly visible
Sitting in the house can also enjoy the balcony and outdoor views
Illuminates a specific wall
When the indoor space area is small, we can create a deep sense of space by illuminating the walls perpendicular to the glass windows, connecting the indoor and outdoor scenery.
Illuminating the walls at right angles to the glass windows creates a projection that extends outward
Expand indoor spaces with lighting
NO.3 Create your own table lighting
Using the pouring light to add a "filter" to food can promote appetite and create a comfortable dining environment. It is recommended to choose a chandelier with a lampshade to avoid dazzling, and the lamp is 65 to 80cm away from the desktop.
Lighting can increase appetite and enjoy a happy meal time
If the restaurant has large windows, light will form a projection through the lampshade on the bed, and you can choose a dark or opaque lampshade material.

However, not all chandelier projection is not good, if it is a design lamp, you can also deliberately let it projected on the window. But if you want to enjoy the outdoor view, the projection of the lampshade will become a factor that hinders us.

Moderate projection blends in with the night view to form a beautiful dining table
Excellent lighting design is based on ensuring the recognition of objects, using darkness and shadows to create a comfortable atmosphere with lighting. By adjusting the brightness balance, you can colorful dark spaces that are otherwise disturbing and boring.
I believe that after the small partners have mastered the above-mentioned methods, the home will become more warm
