Light plays almost the main role in interior design. Insufficient power or unsuitable color rendering can ruin everything.
But these are not the only mistakes that new residents like to make in their houses and apartments.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told us what mistakes are made most often.
One source
Most often, this is a single ceiling chandelier. Even if the bulbs are bright and all corners are illuminated, without a floor lamp or sconce, the room will look unfinished.
Bright light
Bright white (or, as people say, cold) light does not promote relaxation and create a comfortable environment. In addition, it quickly tires and hurts the eyes.
Power
And here there are standards that allow you to create a pleasant semi-darkness.
For example, for the kitchen the recommended power of overhead lighting is 75 watts. For the living room 75-80 watts.
For side lighting, the lamp power should be within 60 watts.
Spotlights
Often they try to replace the main source. This can be done in a bathroom or hallway, nothing more.
In living rooms, it is better to use “dots” as additional lighting.
In addition, one must not forget about additional lighting in the kitchen, dressing room, bathroom, and also place switches so that they are easy to reach.
