Light plays an essential role in interior design, influencing not only the general atmosphere of a room, but also its functionality.
The correct choice of light sources can completely transform the space, highlighting the colors, textures and decor of a room. That’s why it’s important to know what type of light suits every space in your home. In this article, we will discuss the importance of lighting in design and the types of lights recommended for every room in the house.
1. Ambient Light: The basis of each space
Ambient light is the main source of lighting in a room and has the role of providing uniform general lighting. Usually it comes from recessed chandeliers, ceiling lights or spotlights. It is important that the ambient light is strong enough to ensure good visibility, but at the same time it is pleasant and comfortable.
Our recommendation: Use warm light LED bulbs in living rooms and bedrooms, and neutral white light bulbs in kitchens or bathrooms for a balance between functionality and comfort.
2. Accent light: highlighting key elements
Accent light is used to emphasize certain pieces of furniture or decoration, such as paintings, plants or art objects. This can add depth and dynamism to a room. Wall sconces, directional spotlights or floor lamps are ideal for creating an accent light that enhances a specific element in the room.
Our advice: In the living room or hallways, you can use accent lights to highlight reading corners, paintings or bookshelves.
3. Working light: functionality and precision
Working light is a directed and powerful source designed to provide visibility in precise activities such as reading, cooking or office work. This is essential for functional spaces such as the home office, kitchen or make-up area in the bathroom.
Brasco team recommendation: In the kitchen, install LED spotlights under the kitchen cabinets to illuminate the work surfaces. At the office, choose an adjustable table lamp for better light control.
4. Decorative light: adding extra personality
Decorative light has less functional role and more aesthetic one. Statement chandeliers, garlands of lights or lamps with unusual shapes can transform any space, bringing a unique and captivating design element.
Tip: In the bedroom or living room, choose a central piece, such as an elegant chandelier, which will attract the eye and become the focal point of the room.
