▲ Influence of lighting effect on face value
Lighting is the best decoration, and this truth also applies at home. If the lighting is well designed, even simple decoration and ordinary furniture can create the effect of "looking expensive". But if the lighting design is not careful, even if you spend a lot of money to decorate hard clothes and buy top-class furniture, the effect will be unremarkable.
Today, the Moon Face Value Club came out again, sharing three scientific and advanced secrets of designing home lighting to make your home face value UPUPUP~ ~
Increase local lighting
We find that many people are still stuck in the old idea that one lamp illuminates the whole house and the whole living room has only one ceiling lamp, which is used for lighting design at home.
Of course, I don't completely deny this practice, which is the simplest and most convenient for a small space, but for a larger space, only one main light is not enough! Not only is the light uneven, it can't meet the requirements of basic lighting, but only one lamp in the whole space will be very dull and monotonous, which has nothing to do with the word advanced.
▲ Some places will be very dark and look very low.
Functionally, different areas have different requirements for light. For example, the reading corner needs sufficient light source, and the brightness of the light is higher than that of the living room. Therefore, scientific lighting design should add accent lighting in local position, put a bright desk lamp on the desk, and pay more attention when working; Add a small lamp under the cupboard so that there will be no shadow when cutting vegetables; Add an induction light belt to the normal shoe position in the shoe cabinet, so you can see the shoes clearly without bending over.
▲ Add an extra downlight above the reading corner.
▲ Add a light strip under the cabinet to illuminate the operating table.
▲ The wardrobe is embedded with light strips, making it easy to find clothes.
▲ induction lamp is installed at the bottom. Which shoes are clear at a glance?
In terms of face value, the lighting of local accent also has a decorative effect. Compared with lighting a room with main lights, creating a contrast between light and shade with rich local lighting will make the room more atmospheric.
▲ Multiple warm light sources are much warmer than a single dim white light.
▲ Multi-level local lighting is practical and beautiful.
The color of the light also has a great influence on the feeling of the whole space, which is mainly determined by the color temperature. Warm yellow light and warm white light with a color temperature of 2800k-3500k will be warmer, while white light with a color temperature of 3700 K-5000 K will be more refreshing and capable, and more suitable for work or reading.
▲ White light in the work area can concentrate more.
The color temperature above 4000k is not suitable for night use, so warm yellow light should be used in the bedroom.
Using local lighting to create focused light and strengthen the effect of highlighting household items is the same as self-portrait lighting.
For example, lighting decorative paintings and display cabinets with spotlights will have the same effect as art galleries, with 200 decorative paintings hanging 20,000 pieces. Another example is to add a "wall washing lamp" to the wall. Even if the wall is simply painted, it looks more textured and advanced.
▲ Make decorative painting more advanced.
▲ The display cabinet is embedded with spotlights to enhance the decorative effect.
▲ Wall washing lights make the big white wall different.
70 points of furniture soft decoration and lighting comparison, you get 90 points of bonus effect.
Hide the light source, you can't see the light when you see it.
The second trick of advanced lighting design is to hide the lighting and create an effect that you can't see when you see the lighting. This is a very common practice in luxury hotels.
There are two common ways to hide light sources. The first is to embed downlights or spotlights, not lamps such as chandeliers. Embedded lamps can be embedded in the ceiling as basic lighting, or embedded in the cabinet as local lighting.
▲ Fixed point embedded lamp
▲ Open the lamp slot and embed the lamp, which is convenient for adjusting the position of the lamp.
The second way to hide the light source, which I like better, is to use the light trough to hide the light strip, giving the ceiling, walls and furniture a side light, just like inlaid with light edges, which is very layered and can make a unique sense of lines.
▲ The light band emphasizes the outline of the background wall.
▲ concave shape with light
The light strip looks very advanced and complicated, but it is actually very simple to install. Generally, T5 fluorescent lamp or LED lamp is used for the light strip, which can be embedded directly in the ceiling or in the laminated board.
▲ Directly installed on the ceiling.
▲ Laminates can also be installed.
▲ Shelf "capacity repair"
Using the light strip as "indirect lighting", the light is hit on the wall and the ground, so that the light diffuses through the wall and shines on the object instead of directly shining on the surface of the object, so that the treated light will be softer, more uniform in brightness and without glare.
▲ Three kinds of indirect lighting
▲ The light is soft and even.
When the light hits the ceiling, there will be a sense of rising suspension, which will make your home look taller and bigger.
▲ illumination blindness method
Main lamp illumination
The third advanced lighting design method is main lighting. Not a single main light source, but different light sources are evenly arranged on walls, roofs and floors, and local lighting is used for basic lighting, so that your home becomes bright and layered.
▲ Multiple light sources
To create the main lighting, the basic ambient light can be mainly downlights, wall lamps and stray lights, and the local focused light can be realized by desk lamps, floor lamps, chandeliers and spotlights.
▲ track spotlight
Will lighting without the main light waste electricity?
Waves don't waste electricity mainly depending on the wattage of the lamp. As long as the total wattage remains the same, there will be no extra electricity bill. For example, if you want to use a main lamp to illuminate the living room of 15_, the wattage of this lamp may reach 40w, which is actually the same as the power consumption of eight 5w downlights.
Moreover, there is another advantage of lighting without main lights, that is, the number of lights can be controlled to adjust the brightness of the space. For example, when watching TV at night, you only need to turn on the Three Lamps District. When reading, all the lights should be turned on with uniform strong light, instead of just turning on one brightness forever, which is more energy-saving.
▲ Usually only part of the lights are turned on.
Do I have to install a ceiling without main lighting?
We see that many homes without main lighting are equipped with embedded downlights, which creates the illusion that the main lighting must be equipped with suspended ceilings. Of course, this is not the case!
The downlight embedded in the ceiling can make the vision more uniform and tidy, and it looks simpler. Many people worry that installing a ceiling for hidden downlights will sacrifice the height of the floor, but do you know that there are already ultra-thin downlights, and the thickness of the ceiling is even less than 10cm?
▲ As thin as1.5cm.
And if you don't plan to install the ceiling, there are also external downlights to choose from, and the shape is also very simple and cool! There is no need to sacrifice height at all!
▲ All styles are suitable.
From the beginning with light bulbs, to tubes, ceiling lamps, and now to the main lighting, our demand for lighting has already risen from the use of lighting to aesthetic needs. Pay more attention to lighting design, which is not only more comfortable to use, but also a home with higher value ~
