Ambiance lighting
For general light, living room when you have people over and you are chatting, and spending a good time. Bedroom, before you head to sleep.
Types of light you can use:
Ceiling, floor, wall lighting. And you can play around with the colour of the light. Between 2000 K to 3000 K to keep it soft on the eyes. Unless you require special effects
Decorative home lighting
This can be a coloured light on the wall to create a feature. Or a direct light on a painting or sculpture to showcase a particular item.
Types of light you can use:
Spot lights, strip lights, colourful lighting. The range of colour is up to you, have fun with this, as it’s for decoration purposes.
Task lighting
cooking, reading, putting makeup on, work space, … anything you need to have a clear light on.
In task lighting there are spaces where you want different types of lighting too. As you have the cooler (blue) and warmer (yellow) types.
Types of light you can use:
Spot lights, strip lights, directional lighting on the floor or table lamps. 5500 K to 6500 K range. Make sure these are separate from your ambient and decorative lighting. So you can switch off when they are not in use.
NOTE:
On bathroom task lighting. You look at yourself daily and for some reason spot lights are popular in bathrooms.
Remember, you go for a photoshoot with a professional photographer. She will choose sunset or sunrise to take pictures to make you look great.
So why would you ever want to look at yourself with the harshest, unflattering light every time you step in your bathroom??
Have a daylight task lighting around the mirror that you can switch on and off for make up or shaving for men purposes. And that’s it.
Be kind to yourself, always. You deserve the best.
