HOW TO LIGHT A DARK KITCHEN


HOW TO LIGHT A DARK KITCHEN
The house is usually chosen according to one's tastes and the light and air that it can guarantee.
Every environment, therefore, must be bright and airy, bearing in mind that these characteristics are fundamental especially in the kitchen which is the room where you spend more time cooking, eating and, more often than not, if space allows, to be in company with those you want most.

Unfortunately, it is not always possible, for various reasons, to buy or rent an apartment with the requirements previously outlined and in the case in which a property with low light must be considered, because it has no balconies or badly exposed, it is necessary to provide as soon as possible to solve the problem.
Certainly this headache becomes even more serious if it occurs in the kitchen, given that, as previously written, it is the most lived-in environment and as such it must be made bright, organizing the artificial light where it is lacking.
Before planning the right light it is advisable not to furnish the room in question with furniture that weighs down on style and color, in fact, you must absolutely insert clear and particularly linear elements.
It is necessary to prefer handles, hoods, and refrigerators, possibly made of steel, to make the light positioned on the roof reflect, thanks to the brightness of this material, or, where it is considered appropriate, through spotlights or chandeliers or led light bulbs.

It is important to choose an ad hoc lighting, without exaggerating, because too much light certainly creates the opposite effect compared to what you are trying to achieve.

It would be correct to establish so many points of light radiation, scattered in the whole environment, in an autonomous way, to be able to turn them on when they are really needed or all together if necessary.
For example, over the kitchen cabinets, you can use the latest generation neon lights, while underneath them a strip of the LED light.

On the roof you can place a chandelier with LED light or, several spotlights to place and distribute evenly, inside a plasterboard ceiling that is not at all expensive.

Moreover, if the sofa is included in the kitchen furnishings because the room is large, it would be nice to place a beautiful floor lamp next to the same element, possibly made of light materials, such as rice paper that reveal the light.

The distribution of light made in this way was recommended, in order to be able to evaluate, at each point of brightness established independently of each other, wattages that are not necessarily high. This is because, if it were to serve a particularly high brightness, everything previously outlined could be turned on simultaneously.
It is suggested to use the warm light near the sofa and the natural light or, if you like 001, in the rest of the kitchen.

ORIGINAL LAMPS, TO FURNISH AND ILLUMINATE THE HOUSE IN A DIFFERENT WAY THAN USUAL

Image
The choice of lamps and their placement is one of the most important things you do when designing a Home. Some elements such as wall lamps, ceiling lights and chandeliers must be chosen with great care, also because they are not things that are changed often and easily. For table lamps and all the luminous elements that are added to the rooms instead you have more freedom, both in case you want to replace them and if you want to change their position. But lamps are not just elements designed to illuminate a room. They can also be objects that have the sole purpose of furnishing and giving a particular style to the room. With the original lamps you can add shapes, styles or curious subjects that capture attention just for their design. As use is similar to that of an ornament, but the light puts them in greater prominence and can also have effects on the domestic environment. After all, that's exactly what environmental lights do. In terms of lighting, they are almost nil, b...

IDEAL SOLUTIONS FOR LIGHTING A BLIND BATHROOM

Image
Nowadays more and more homes have a blind bathroom, i.e. without a window. This solution is often adopted when the square meters of the house are small and space needs to be optimized. For this reason, most of the time the bathroom environment is sacrificed. However, this does not mean that light is not important in the latter, rather it is just the opposite.

LIGHTING OF A PLASTERBOARD CEILING

Image
There can be many functions of a home ceiling. From the reduction of the surface to be heated, with consequent savings from the economic point of view, to a greater definition of zones and contours. With particular regard to open spaces, i.e. without well-defined boundaries, the creation of false ceilings have pleasantly allowed us to redefine the proportions of some areas, establishing their functions fully and precisely, with consequent final the dynamism of the whole. Leaving aside for the moment the structural ambit and making a jump towards the lighting of the environment in question, a properly realized false ceiling represents the basis of an optimal and functional lighting project. Taking up what has just been affirmed, it is good and right, during the design phase, to opt for a lighting system that fully enhances the whole environment. Based on the choice made, this is able to give the false ceiling a more or less considerable height, reduci...
