Decorating a new house, lighting is a good hand to create an atmosphere!
Recently, the "no main lamp design" has become a mess, and eight out of ten people in the circle of friends are talking about it!
But when I was decorating my home, I still resolutely chose the traditional chandelier.
Why? Today, I will talk to you about the contest between the "lamp" and the "lamp"!
No main lamp: a double-edged sword between style and practicality
When it comes to the design of no main lamp, many people's first reaction is: advanced! That's right, this design does fit well with modern minimalist style. But, is it really for everyone?
My friend's house with no main lamp does look stylish at first glance. The small lights on the ceiling look like the sky is full of stars.
The living room, dining room, bedroom, every corner is carefully illuminated.
My friend said, "Look, it's so layered. Turn on the lights in the reading area when you want to read a book, and turn on the ambient lights when you want to rest, how flexible! "
Indeed, the flexibility of no main light is its greatest advantage.
You can adjust the light in your home as you like according to your mood and needs. Want to be a little brighter? Full. Want to be a little warmer? Only a few lights are opened. This feeling of doing what you want is really refreshing.
However, when I asked my friend about the renovation process, I found that there are many pitfalls in this design.
The first is the issue of wiring. My friend smiled wryly and said, "I almost didn't drive the designer crazy for the lines of these lights." Each lamp had to be wired separately, and countless holes were dug in the wall, and the construction team said that they had never seen such troublesome work. "
The second is the issue of cost. These lamps alone cost a lot of money, not to mention hiring a dedicated lighting designer. My friend said, "It's much more expensive than installing a big chandelier." "
Finally, there is an unexpected problem: the brightness is not focused enough. My friend said: "Sometimes when I eat at the table, I always feel that the light is not bright enough. Looks like we have to add another table lamp. "
Chandeliers: the perfect combination of tradition and practicality
Let's talk about the friend who chose the chandelier. As soon as I entered his house, I was attracted by the large chandelier in the living room. With its elegant shape and soft light, the whole space immediately has a focal point.
The friend explained: "I considered having no main light, but I thought it was too much trouble. And my house is more traditional decoration style, the big chandelier is more matched. "
Indeed, chandeliers have their own unique charm. The first is the visuals. A beautifully designed chandelier can instantly elevate a space. The lamp at my friend's house is a work of art.
Then there's practicality. The light concentration of the chandelier is particularly suitable for areas that require bright light. For example, above the dining table, above the desk. My friend said: "When I was eating, I turned on the chandelier, and the light was just right, so that I could see the dishes on the plate without dazzling eyes." "
Then there's the ease of installation and maintenance. My friend smiled and said, "The installation is super easy, and it can be done in one afternoon." And it's also convenient to clean, unlike those small spotlights, which can't be wiped off. "
However, chandeliers are not flawless either. The biggest problem is the lack of flexibility. My friend said, "Sometimes if you want a different light effect, you have to rely on the dimmer switch." Not as variable as a headless lamp. "
How to choose the best one for you?
After reading these, you may ask: which one should you choose? In fact, there is no absolute right or wrong, the key is to look at your own needs.
If you like a modern minimalist style, a lot of space at home, and a good budget, then no main lamp is indeed a good choice. It brings style and flexibility to your home.
But if you prefer a more traditional style, or are on a budget, then chandeliers may be more suitable for you. Not only does it become the visual focal point of the home, but it also provides enough lighting.
Of course, you can also use both, just like me. The living room has a large chandelier, and the other rooms have no main lamp. It's perfect for both focus and flexibility!

In the final analysis, when it comes to decoration, what suits you is the best! Whether it is a "master lamp" or a "chandelier", as long as it can illuminate our small home and illuminate it comfortably, it is a good lamp! You say, right?
