The lighting is no less important than the rest of the house, such as furniture, paint, etc., as lighting is an integral part of the interior decoration of the house, which plays an important role in completing the interior beauty of the home. Some overlook the aesthetic aspect that lighting brings to the place, and how it is distributed at home, so we will talk in this article about the types of lighting and their important role in the aesthetic of the home.

KINDS OF LIGHTING

Light is an important element in interior design, which must be carefully and carefully selected by specialists in order for them to carry out their daily work to the fullest, and to practice their lives and jobs, thus achieving them more comfort and tranquility. Here are some of the most popular types of lighting.

FUNCTIONAL LIGHTING

Functional lighting is the simplest type of interior lighting, the primary goal of which is to illuminate the most important parts that help home residents perform certain specific functions, such as reading or preparing food in the kitchen, for example.

Shutters  

The lampshades provide medium-range lighting, i.e. in a specific place or point, and lighting is not the main objective of them, despite the age of the use of lampshades, but with the passage of time they are used to add an aesthetic kind to the room, where the lampshades are currently made in different shapes and sizes.

Desk lampshades 

From its name, office shutters are considered the most used, especially in study rooms or work rooms, where they are characterized by their small size and lighting power, which would help in completing office work and others.

Focused lighting

One of the most used types of interior lighting for homes, which are usually used to highlight things, scenery and aesthetics in the corridors of the home, where small spotlights can be projected onto the panels to highlight their beauty and attract the attention of others, as they are considered types of external lighting for villas, by directing them in artistic ways on the outside staircase leading to the villa Or, on ornamental trees in the garden.

Architectural lighting 

This type of home lighting is included in the room’s structure, and it requires specialists to properly install and distribute it. Architectural lighting is usually used to serve ambient lighting, and many lighting designers prefer it as an indirect source of light, as indirect light sources spread light in a place without a high glow or causing shadows to form in the room.

The most famous types of architectural lighting:

• Suspended ceiling lighting: Suspended ceiling lighting units are installed on the edges of the suspended ceiling on the interior facing the ceiling, which makes it hidden from view. This type shines the spotlight up toward the ceiling.
• Cornice lighting: Cornice lighting units are installed on top of the walls or in the cornice itself. The cornice lighting shines downward toward the walls, spreading light over them.
• Curtain lighting: It is called by this name because it is often hidden behind a curtain or horizontal cover in wood, metal, or glass. They are mounted on top of windows or on top of walls, directing light up and down.
• Hidden lighting units: The reason for naming this type is hidden lighting units because they are installed over the ceiling itself.

AMBIENT LIGHTING

One of the newest types of types of home lighting, which is ambient lighting that is usually used to fully illuminate the place, such as general lighting that illuminates all parts of the room sufficiently and at a uniform level for the entire place without focusing on one side of the room and not others.

Pendants

As its name suggests, it is installed and hung on the ceiling to direct the lighting straight down, usually highlighting the dining table or table in the kitchen. Some prefer to use it instead of chandeliers in the reception rooms as well, to add aesthetic appeal to the place.

Riches

As is well known, chandeliers are suspended in the ceilings and their lighting is projected up towards the ceiling. The chandeliers are distinguished by their contemporary and luxurious designs. Chandeliers serve both ambient lighting and aesthetic lighting immensely if they are chosen in a way that suits your home decor.
