Lighting has a big impact on any space. By combining fixtures you can give your room some character and at the same time, make it functional. Whether it´s for your home, office, shop or restaurant, there are different fixtures available that can be used to form a comfortable and charming environment.
There are some important factors to consider when choosing the type of fixture that would fit best:
- Size of the area or space
For big open areas, big pendant fixtures or high bays can be a good option. For smaller areas consider smaller fixtures to not take up too much space.
- Room layout and use
It´s important to know what is the use or purpose of the room. For an office, linear lights or panels can be a good option, they help provide sufficient light to work without glare. For a shop, track lights or down lights would be a good alternative, they can be easily adjusted to set focus on merchandise and products.
- General and task lighting
Always consider having general and task lighting. General lighting to have a good visibility and task or focal lighting to high light certain areas, objects, etc.
- Decorative and functional
Give a decorative touch and make it functional at the same time. Pendant lights can give a minimalistic touch to the room and at the same time, illuminate the eating area. Modern high bays can give a modern and industrial feeling to an office and at the same time, provide plenty of light on a hall way.
- Complement the overall look
Choose lights that go best with the overall design. The style of the fixture depends on the room and its overall aesthetic.
