Types of lighting

Modern interior can not be imagined without competent lighting. Thanks to him, the room is filled with special energy, the color of curtains and walls becomes more expressive, and the room is spacious. But getting acquainted with the assortment of shops, many people have a stupor - manufacturers offer a huge number of types of lighting, which many hear for the first time. So, what kind of lighting devices are used in modern interiors? About this below.

Types of room lighting

Depending on the light source, lighting can be artificial and natural. In the daytime people rely heavily on natural light (the light of the sky, the sun), but in the evening it is not enough and one has to resort to electric lighting. It is through artificial light that it is possible to achieve interesting light transitions that emphasize the texture of the wallpaper, the depth of niches and the many-tiered ceilings. Depending on the desired effect, you can use one of the types of lighting in the interior:

1. Directional. Used to illuminate a specific surface or part of a room. In this case, the objects appear larger and larger, but in the room itself it becomes noticeably lighter. Directional light will provide table lamps , lamps, ceiling lamps, chandeliers.
2. Broken. The light from the lamp is scattered through the plafond from a thin material, which creates a faint glow. The angle of dispersion is 360 degrees. This method of illumination has a high coefficient of efficiency and is perfectly suitable for general lighting. Scattered light creates hanging lamps and chandeliers with fabric lampshades.
3. Reflected. The luminous flux is directed to the ceiling and walls, where it is reflected, creating the illusion of uniform illumination. This effect can be achieved using compact ceiling lights installed around the perimeter of the room. The space will expand and become pronounced.
4. Combined. Combines all of the above types of lighting: light spreads down, up and through a semi-transparent lampshade. Combined lighting gives new models of hanging lamps, as well as some models of lamps.

Using certain types of lighting, you can zonate the room , or focus on certain features. So, in a hall combined with a dining room with the help of modern sconces it is possible to highlight the TV zone, and for a dining zone to use chandeliers on long suspensions. The unifying link in this situation will be a hidden illumination of the ceiling, held around the perimeter of the room. Stylish and modern!

Interesting tricks

Interior designers like to experiment not only with light, but with materials and forms of lamps. They understand that thanks to a well-designed bubble can create a highlight in the interior, make it more meaningful and unusual.

So, for the children's room you can use cute miniature sconces, which work from an ordinary finger battery or battery. They fill the room with a soft unobtrusive light that does not prevent the baby from sleeping and at the same time creates a feeling of protection in case the child wakes up. Such lamps are made in the form of toys, fairy-tale characters and animals.

For the adult audience, more rigorous and laconic forms are chosen, which in turn carry a certain semantic load. Lamps in the form of a drooping drop, a tree, a balloon or a blossoming flower bud - fantasy decorators have no limit.
