color temperature

For a cozy atmosphere, the ideal is to invest in lamps with a warm white color temperature (2400K to 3000K) in the rooms, looking for products where it is possible to adjust the brightness and color temperature according to need. Avoid cool white color temperature (5000K to 6500K) as it creates a restless feeling and interferes with sleep. Another important recommendation is not to include direct and high-intensity light above the bed, as it may dazzle the eyes, causing discomfort.

General and support lights

To the general lighting of the space, indirect light is recommended and can be obtained with the help of some models of ceiling lights or LED strips embedded in plaster moldings. As suggestions for support lighting for the bedrooms are table lamps, sconces, floor lamps, spots with R-70 lamps, delicate pendants, as well as LED strips (which can be placed on curtains or behind headboards). These are ideal choices for anyone looking for a restful night’s sleep. Also, give preference to pieces with domes, as they offer greater visual comfort.

Combining decoration and lighting

A good distribution of points of light throughout the space, as well as the choice of colors and finishes for furniture and coatings, also contributes to more efficient lighting. Walls and furniture in shades of blue and green, for example, encourage relaxation. The wood provides even more warmth to the resting corner. As for fans of chromotherapy, it is worth investing in RGB LED lamps and strips, which allow for numerous colors in the room.

Home office and reading

For those who have a work or study corner in their bedroom, they should opt for a mix of diffused and direct lights, in order to use each one according to need. For those who like to read a book before going to bed, you should get a light intensity a bit bigger. Dimmable pieces are good choices, as they allow you to adjust the brightness without harming other moments.

Children’s or teenager’s room

In general, for all stages of childhood and adolescence, the most recommended color temperature is also warm white (2400K to 3000K), because it brings more acceptance, as well as conveys tranquility, so as not to cause stress and agitation to the little ones. The use of color in some details represents an interesting idea. In such cases, pastel tones such as blue, rose, salmon and green are good options. For the older ones, the tip is to bet on indirect lighting in certain areas that need a softer light; diffused lights for general lighting; and focal points, all on different circuits for the best project performance.

study corner

In the growth phase, it is necessary to pay attention to every detail of the environment, so that it can contribute to the healthy development of children. A good lighting project it can contribute to daily activities and even help in learning, when correctly positioned on the study table. Support lights such as table lamps are great for creating a pleasant atmosphere for reading. In addition to directing light to a specific focal point, they also provide a more flexible environment for carrying out your activities. For study moments, the workbench or table should have lighting at the top and, in this case, preferably at a neutral white temperature (4000K), to help with concentration.
