The living room is an activity area that we use more in our daily life. We all choose to watch TV, read, and guests visit in the living room. The choice of lamps and lanterns will affect us. Whether we read or work, there are many kinds, styles, and sizes of lamps and lanterns, so how do we choose lamps and lanterns? What about size? These are the issues we will discuss next.
How to choose living room lamps
1. General lighting
During the overall lighting, the lamp should give the living room light to the greatest extent. At this time, the ceiling lamp can be used. Generally, a single-head or multi-head chandelier can be installed in the center of the room as the main lamp to create a stable, generous, warm, and warm environment, so that guests can feel at home.
The choice of the lamp should also be determined by the area and height of the living room: if the area is only more than ten square meters and the shape of the living room is irregular, it is best to choose a ceiling lamp. If the living room is high and large, you can choose a chandelier according to the owner's age, culture, hobbies, views, and standards of comfort and warmth, as well as the requirements of lighting style.
The overall lighting of the lamp provides the largest area of light for the living room, usually the ceiling lamp or chandelier. Choose the main lamp, choose the lampshade opening upward, and the direction of the light towards the ceiling. The reflection will make people feel more soft and relaxed, and the warm tone light source can better highlight the warm atmosphere of the family.
2. Local lighting
The lighting of local lighting is soft and relaxed: local lighting can use floor lamps, wall lamps, etc. to achieve the effect of use and embellishment. For TV watching and leisure reading, it is more appropriate to install high-rise floor lamps. When watching TV and reading, turn off the ceiling lamp and turn on the floor lamp, which is not dazzling, but also makes the environment appear quiet and elegant. If there are banners of calligraphy and painting on the wall behind the sofa, two wall lamps of appropriate size can be installed on both sides of the calligraphy and painting, and a floor lamp can be placed beside the sofa. Such a lamp device is not only stable and generous, but also can choose the light source according to different needs, or all lights are put together, the room is full of brilliance, or a single lamp is put alone, which is old-fashioned.
As the situation of each family's living room is different, the function of the living room is also different. For example, the living room of some families may also have to act as a restaurant, so when choosing lamps and lanterns, we should also flexibly grasp various actual situations.
3. Appearance and grade
In terms of the shape and grade of lamps and lanterns, first, we should consider the coordination with the atmosphere of the living room, and second, we should strive to be elegant, neither too luxurious nor too shabby. The living room is the facade of the family. The lighting is peaceful and light, which may not reflect your decorative style and slightly shabby. Too luxurious may make visitors have psychological pressure and can't let go. The main lighting of the living room should not be too dark or dazzling. When there are few people in the living room, turn off the main lighting and turn on a wall lamp. Now, some consumers look forward to rural life, pursue the artistic conception of returning to nature, abandon the magnificent wall lamp, and light candles in the living room to create a candlelight effect. Such design is elegant, but after all, living in modern cities is troublesome and troublesome.
If the room is high, it is appropriate to use incandescent chandeliers with three to five forks, or a larger round chandelier, which can make the living room look magnificent. However, it is not suitable to use chandeliers with all downward light distribution but to make the upper space also have a certain brightness, so as to reduce the brightness difference between the upper and lower space.
If the room is low, you can use ceiling lamps and floor lamps. In this way, the living room will appear bright and generous, with a sense of the times. The floor lamps are equipped next to the sofa, the tea table on the side of the sofa is equipped with decorative craft desk lamps, or a lower wall lamp is placed on the nearby wall. In this way, there is not only local lighting when reading but also a cordial and harmonious atmosphere when receiving and talking.
