Lighting brings an interior together —
It sets the mood, accentuates the space and allows us to focus, or relax. Below, we take you through the basics of using lighting in the home. Which light to choose for which room, how to combine light sources for atmosphere, how to mount your lamp, and so much more.
From form to function —consider these three essential points when choosing the perfect lamp for the home.
A well-designed light setting considers not only the amount of light sources in a room, but also the height of the lamps. This is particularly important to consider when hanging a pendant lamp above the dining table or coffee table.
Glare is defined as the eye being directly exposed to the light source, resulting in discomfort.
The optimal height depends on how the light source sits in the lampshade — the higher the bulb or LED sits inside the shade, the lower the risk of glare.
See mounting heights for more advice on how to hang your lamp to avoid glare.
