Great lighting ideas need to provide the right illumination for all of a room’s functions, and allow changes of mood, too. But lighting is a major feature of any room design, and it’s crucial that it plays its part in the aesthetic of the space, too.

From pendants and chandeliers to wall lights, floor and table lamps, plus lights for illuminating artwork, lighting stairs and more, there is a wealth of choices that can elevate the room as well as act functionally.

Here, we’re showcasing lighting ideas for rooms around the home to inspire your interior design.

Lighting ideas

All the different lighting types – ambient, task, and feature – can be beautiful in their own right, and these lighting ideas tick the boxes for style as well as practicality.

1. Bring warmth to a living area

Prioritize the atmosphere of the living room when shortlisting lighting ideas. 'Warmth is the most important factor when lighting a living area,’ says Peter Legg, lead designer at där lighting .

‘This is a cozy space, so you want to feel enveloped and comforted while using it. Aim for an even spread of light to avoid any harsh contrasts. One way to do this is through an armed ceiling light or a chandelier which will rebound light across the room.'

Of course, living room lighting ideas should be carefully planned so that the effect created by the aesthetics of the light fittings in daylight is just as impactful as that of the lighting scheme itself at night.

Kitchen lighting ideas, just like those of the living room are as much about visual impact in daylight as they are about practicality and functionality. 

Consider boldly scaled pendant lights to hang over a kitchen island. Attention-grabbing in their own right, kitchen island lighting also makes the island itself even more of a feature of the room.  

If you’re concerned the sizeable lights will block views through the room, follow this room’s example and opt for those made with clear glass. Gold detail in these designs echoes that in handles as well the legs of the stools and the faucet for a consistent use of materials. 

3. Elevate a bathroom

Turn up the dial on decoration in your wash space with a bathroom chandelier. ‘I always tell clients to invest in lighting,’ says Katie Davis of Katie Davis Design , who created this room. ‘Bathroom lighting is a game changer. The right chandelier or pendant can give you a major design moment, and make a space feel instantly elevated.’

Generally bathroom ceiling lights don’t have to be damp-rated designs, leaving your choices wide open, but do bear in mind that some areas, like that over the shower, need lights suitable for the location. Choose lights rated for the particular area of the room, which is divided into zones for this purpose.  

4. Add living room wall lights

Don’t neglect the potential that living room wall lighting ideas have to offer. In this room, a symmetrical pair of wall sconces on the chimney highlights this feature of the room even when the fire itself isn’t lit.

In pairs, or as single fittings, wall lights can make any part of the room inviting in this way. They’re also a great solution for smaller spaces avoiding the need to give up floor or table space to a lamp.

5. Select the right bedroom lighting positions

Bedroom ceiling light ideas should be carefully located in relation to the bed when realizing lighting ideas for the room.

‘It is best not to position any bedroom lighting over the top of the bed where your pillows are as this is too harsh when you are lying in bed,’ explains Shalini Misra, interior designer and founder of Shalini Misra and The Design Buzz . ‘Placing an interesting, statement light in the center of the ceiling provides a great focal point and design interest in the room, especially if you are keeping a muted palette in the space.’

6. Fall for kitchen wall lighting

Make food preparation safe with adequate illumination for kitchen countertops. Kitchen wall lighting ideas can avoid the problem of working in a shadow, which can occur when lights are directly behind a person standing at the counter.

While linear LED lighting is an alternative, wall lights are a decorative addition to the room as well as a functional one, and industrial-style designs like this one are one of the many handsome choices on offer.

7. Illuminate bedroom storage

Plan a layer of bedroom lighting that will make it easier to dress. Canned lights can do some of the work, as can clever closet lighting ideas.

‘In the bedroom of this penthouse, we positioned downlights so that they wash light down the front of the closet doors,’ says Irene Gunter, founder of design agency Gunter & Co .  ‘This not only highlights the beauty of the wood, but when the doors are open, the light also helps to illuminate the interior.

‘I would also recommend strips of LED lighting mounted along drawers and shelves inside, which turn on when you open the doors.’

8. Exploit the potential of lighting materials

Think materials when selecting lighting for living spaces. ‘Materials are just as important as style when choosing lighting for your living room,’ explains Charlie Bowles, director of Original BTC . 

This design is made with geometric bone china tiles and Charlie says, ‘Bone china is an ideal choice, bringing a lovely softness of finish and a beautifully translucent glow. This soft light is ideal for creating a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel instantly comfortable and relaxed.’

9. Use lighting to attract the eye

Considered use of lighting can concentrate attention where you want it – this can be particularly useful for entryway lighting ideas and hallway lighting. ‘In this entry, the ceilings extend to the third floor,’ says Katie Davis of Katie Davis Design . ‘In an effort to make the area feel like a singular space, even though it was three stories high, we installed downlighting on the art. It encourages visitors to keep focused at eye level versus looking up.’

10. Create task lighting in a home office

(Image credit: Jan Baldwin / Future)

Home office lighting ideas needn't just be functional, so don’t just think table lamps to provide light for a home office desk. A floor lamp can provide the even glow that‘s necessary to avoid eye strain and make for an elegant feature of the room, too. It can also provide a wider pool of illumination for a shared desk.

How do I get good lighting at home?

To get good lighting at home, always think about layers of light. ‘We love to layer lighting in a room,’ says Katie Davis of Katie Davis Design . ‘It’s important to me that all of the light in a space doesn’t come from the ceiling, and that there is light at different heights in the room.  

‘If you layer a floor lamp, sconce, table lamp and pendants with canned lighting, for instance, it allows a space to easily transition for the mood you are in or the event you are having, ultimately making a space more dynamic. Considering factors like wattage helps this, too.’

How can I add mood lighting to a room?

To add mood lighting to a room, use dimmable fixtures so the light levels can be adjusted easily. As well as for spaces like living rooms and bedrooms, that goes for kitchens, too, so that once food preparation and cooking is finished, a softer ambience can be created for dining or relaxing in the space.

Lights on different circuits are also helpful, allowing perimeter lights, for example, to be switched off independently from central lighting for a more intimate feel.

Pay attention to color temperature, too. It’s measured in Kelvins, and for warm light, opt for lower numbers of 2,700 to 3,000K; at 3,100K and up light will appear cooler.

The living room is generally the largest room in the house, a hub of activity where a variety of activities take place day and night. Making sure that your living room is properly and beautifully lit for gathering with family, entertaining, relaxing, reading, watching TV or movies and all the other activities that take place in this central part of your home is more complicated than putting a dimmer on an overhead light and calling it a day.

A well-lit living room ideally should have layered lighting that illuminates all four corners to create balance and a pleasant atmosphere. It can include a mix of ambient, accent, and task lighting—chandeliers, wall sconces, table lamps, floor lamps, recessed lighting, and even candlelight—to illuminate the room for differing atmospheres and purposes. Here are some bright ideas to help inspire your living room lighting.

Lighting in the interior: 7 rules of lighting design

Lighting plays a key role in the interior. It depends on him whether it is comfortable to be in the room, how colors and textures are perceived, whether the space seems more spacious or, conversely, cramped. This article has collected the main universal rules that are suitable for creating lighting design in a city apartment or a country house. Take note!

Everything about lighting design

General rules
Planning the light
- Upper
- Local
— Decorative

When planning the lighting in the interior, remember a few key rules — they will help you not to make a mistake and not to correct unsuccessful lighting scenarios later.

Listed the basic rules in a short video

1. Multi-level

One ceiling lamp is not enough for high-quality lighting of the room - except perhaps for a tiny hallway with an area of ​​1-2 squares. Even in a small bathroom, you will need at least two sources: the top and the mirror. Determine the number and location of lamps based on life scenarios in a particular room. It is important that the light sources are located at different heights, and the lamps are of different power - so you can adjust the intensity of the backlight and illuminate only the part of the room that you want.

Remember that the lower the luminaire is placed, the more intimate the light appears. Accordingly, to create a romantic or relaxed atmosphere in the bedroom and in the living room, a ceiling lamp alone is definitely not enough.

2. Planning first

Planning a lighting design before the arrangement of furniture in the room is thought out is a fundamentally wrong approach. First you need to draw up a design project and understand exactly where and what will be located. After that, analyze the result: which zones are well lit from the window, and which ones, on the contrary, need additional illumination? Where will you cook, eat, read, work, do hobbies? Are there large objects in the room that block the light (for example, a closet or a high partition)? Based on this, you will understand where and which lamps will be located, and you will be able to accurately plan the electrical circuit.

4. Coverage range

Another non-obvious point that many people overlook when buying is the coverage area of ​​lamps. It can radically differ from your expectations, so be sure to pay attention to this when choosing bulbs and shades. Moreover, this rule works both ways: it is important not only to find a sufficiently powerful device, but also, for example, not to overpay for a model with a large glow radius if you are looking for a light bulb for a pantry or a micro-bathroom.

5. Natural light

At the planning stage, evaluate the situation with natural light in the apartment or house. Most likely, for each room it will be different. What is important to understand: which side of the world the windows face, what size they are, how much sun enters the room (and how much of it at all in your climate). Or maybe there is no natural light at all - for example, in the hallway, bathroom or dressing room.

Try to arrange the layout so as not to block the windows and not "cut" the sun's rays. To do this, it is better not to place cabinets and racks perpendicular to the wall, but to replace blank partitions with light semi- or transparent structures. And do not forget about design tricks: use mirrors, a light palette, glossy surfaces, arches, doors with glass inserts, etc.

6. Room type

Light scenarios for each room will be different - there is no universal scheme that will suit all rooms. For example, in the cooking area and in the workplace, you will need powerful lamps, and in the bedroom, the illumination should be soft and subdued, setting you up for relaxation. In the bathroom and hallway, the light bulbs should be bright enough and with a maximum color rendering index - there we gather, apply makeup and evaluate our appearance, so the perception of all colors should be clear.

Do not forget about decorative component. Lighting devices are the same full-fledged elements of the interior as wallpaper on the walls, furniture and decorations. And in some cases, they can even become a central accent or the only decor.

Choose a model depending on the overall style:

Top

This is the basis of the entire lighting system. The overhead light can consist of one or more sources, depending on the size and shape of the room.

Social networks of designer Zhenya Zhdanova

Most often used as a basis:

In large or elongated rooms, spot lighting is a good solution: for example, several spotlights or recessed lights or a powerful LED strip around the entire perimeter of the room. If you want to visually stretch the room upwards, use curtain lighting - it will create the effect of a floating ceiling, and the walls will appear higher. In the center you can hang an accent chandelier or a beautiful ceiling.

Ceiling lights give a uniform and bright enough light that is suitable for any active activity. But be careful with the location and design of the lamps: they should not cast too large shadows. A strong contrast will make the space uncomfortable and even gloomy.

Translated from French, “floor lamp” (“torche”) is translated as a torch and means a portable source of light. Surely you have seen such in historical films, when the fire was lit in an iron bowl mounted on a tripod.

It was convenient to place such a light source in places where mobility of lighting was required - it was possible to pick up the torch by the legs and move it to where light was needed without kindling a new fire there. Since the advent of electricity, such light sources have become even simpler and more affordable - a floor lamp is perhaps the most convenient mobile room lighting. It is not fixed in one place, like sconces or chandeliers. And unlike table lamps, which also have mobility and can be moved to the right place, floor lamps do not require any stand, being completely independent light sources. Moreover, many floor lamps have a small built-in table.

21.02.2018What does a floor lamp consist of

In the classical sense, a floor lamp is a light removed from the floor. In outdoor lighting, it is customary to distinguish between floor lamps and floor lamps.

Floor lamps can only be classified according to the geometric shapes that are used in their basis.

Floor lamps usually do not have a directional light and are therefore decorative. Most often they use a denser material for shades, less bright lamps. Floor lamps give a subdued light, almost like a night lamp, thanks to which such lamps do not interfere with sleep. They are used to create an intimate atmosphere or as a good interior solution to highlight the decor of a room.
