It's no secret that artificial lighting can make your apartment cozy.

At the same time, mistakes in the selection of lighting can turn the interior into a downright failure, said BelNovosti expert designer Yulia Tychino .

So, instead of paying attention only to the appearance of the lamps, you should also consider what kind of bulbs the lighting fixtures are designed for.

The question is what temperature of light they will emit: warm, neutral or cold.

If we talk about a cold shade, it is characterized as bright, spectacular and conceptual.

However, even with such outstanding features, it is not suitable for decorating a living space - you risk turning your apartment into an office, a hospital ward or a shopping area.

Instead, it is worth giving preference to lamps with a warm glow - this is the only way to create a relaxed atmosphere. In addition, warm light emphasizes the warm palette in the interior and neutralizes cold elements.

Finally, if you want to create lighting that is close to natural sunlight, neutral lamps that do not change the perception of the environment in any way will help.
