Modern lighting ideas for every room in your home
Home lighting is one of the most important elements of an interior, but it doesn't always get the attention it deserves. Without good lighting, the furniture and decor in any room will look dull. Even the food doesn't look appetizing.
In this article, we have selected a gallery of original modern lighting ideas for all rooms in the house. Pendant lights that emit pleasant light, indirect lighting that accentuates textures and lines, and accent lighting that highlights contemporary interior artwork. But what type of light should you choose for which room? Keep reading to find out.
Modern lighting for the living room - the perfect fusion of metal and stone
When it comes to modern living room lighting , feel free to use whatever design you want. Imagination has no limits! Indirect lighting behind decorative panels or ceilings with light shades - this is seen in contemporary interiors. If you like reading and lying on the sofa, a floor lamp is for you - stylish and practical, it will make your life easier. In principle, the living room is the most spacious room in the house, so take into account the abundance of lights so that there is no annoying chiaroscuro.
Modern lighting in kitchens and dining rooms
Every corner of the kitchen needs good lighting. Recessed lighting is very popular and widely used in kitchens. Not only will the worktop be well lit, but also the kitchen island, cabinets, etc. will be well lit. When installing fixtures in your kitchen, don't forget about basic lighting that accents wall tiles and makes food preparation easier. If you have a kitchen island or breakfast bar, we bet that these suspension systems will bring a touch of modernity to these spaces.
Restaurant lighting should be soft and warm to make the food more appetizing. Bright lighting is more suitable for cafeterias than cozy homes. Hang an elegant chandelier or “funnel” pendant light above the dining table. Modern installations with different light intensities are the right choice for kitchens that receive a large number of guests or for organizing a romantic dinner for two.
