How to properly light a room

April 8, 2020

The living room is one of the rooms where we spend the most time. Much of our day to day takes place in classrooms. Most are divided into two different areas, the living room and dining room, hence the importance of knowing how to correctly light each part. Each of these areas has a defined use, in the dining room we spend time around a table with family and friends, and in the living room we relax, read or watch a movie.

Before deciding on the type of lighting, we must determine which areas of this room we want to highlight to give them more prominence. In addition to ceiling lights to illuminate wide areas, we have to establish several strategically distributed light points. We must not forget that the natural light that enters through the windows also plays an important role in this area.

When it comes to highlighting and highlighting the dining area, the table where we meet for lunch and dinner must be properly illuminated. In this case, the light we choose should be placed on top and be distributed symmetrically throughout the table. Thus, all diners will have the same light and the evening will be more comfortable. From QECHIC we offer you models of pendant lamps that you can place at different heights and play with symmetry. Before deciding on one model or another, you must take into account the style of the rest of the decoration. You can choose glass, metal or crystal models from the new QECHIC lighting collection.

In the lounge area, what we are looking for is relaxation and rest, hence the type of lighting must be cared for, comfortable, flexible and adjustable. The television is usually in a central area of the living room and has a notable role. In this case, we must compensate for the intensity of the light emitted from the screen by choosing to place a soft spot of light next to or behind it. Thus we will be able to reduce the pressure in the eyes due to the change in intensity.

We can also opt for subtle lighting placed on the large furniture in the room. We can illuminate showcases, crockery or glassware storage furniture or those shelves in which we usually place photographs or any adornment or decorative element. In this way we will be able to highlight certain parts to which we want to give greater prominence.

Another of the different parts of this room is the reading area. Here we can place a floor lamp with which we can regulate the height and intensity. It will provide a specific beam of light on a point that we can personalize with diffusing light or direct light lamps. In this case we must also choose models that fit the style of the room. This type of lighting is usually placed in corners, between sofas or next to low furniture.
