Interior lighting is a key part of your home décor and can transform any room in the home. However, due to the vast range of interior lighting available, choosing the right lighting for your home can be tricky.
In this quick guide, we outline the variety of interior lighting options available, including ceiling lighting, wall lighting, floor lamps and table lamps.
Ceiling Lighting
Ceiling lighting is arguably one of the most important features of the room, meaning it is incredibly important to choose the right style of ceiling lighting. The main styles of ceiling lighting include; flush ceiling lights, semi-flush ceiling lights, pendant ceiling lights, spotlights and track lights.
Flush and Semi-Flush Ceiling Lights
Flush ceiling lights are a popular option for homes with low ceilings. As the name suggests, they include a light fitting that sits flush to the ceiling for a clean and sleek look. Flush ceiling lights are available in a wide range of styles, colours and finishes.
Semi-flush ceiling lights are almost identical, only they are ever-so-slightly suspended from the ceiling so there is a gap between the ceiling and the light fitting. They are also available in a variety of styles, including traditional designs and modern designs.
Flush and semi-flush ceiling lights are an excellent choice for every room in the home. They are particularly popular in lounges, bedrooms, offices and bathrooms.
Pendant Ceiling Lights
Pendant ceiling lights can provide an air of sophistication to a room. They hang low from the ceiling and often have intricate designs. Pendant lights come in a wide range of styles to suit any home, from the sleek and contemporary to the classically chic. You can also opt for a pendant ceiling light that steals the show and adds a fascinating element to your room.
Pendant ceiling lights are widely used in lounges, kitchens and dining rooms. They are popularly placed above dining room tables.
Spotlights And Track Lights
Spotlights and track lights offer a practical and innovative lighting solution. You can opt for individual spotlights strategically placed across your ceiling or you can opt for a track system which includes a number of spotlights along a bar.
This type of lighting is popular in bathrooms, kitchens and offices. With most spotlights and track lights, the lights can be moved to shine light on a specific area of the room, meaning you can adjust your lighting as and when needed.
Wall Lighting
Wall lights are a stylish and effective way to add mood lighting and ambience to any room. They can be used as well as or instead of ceiling lights and are popular in living rooms, bedrooms, entrance halls and dining rooms.
Most wall lights are mounted on a bracket that is fixed flush to the wall. Some feature sconces or small light shades, whereas others have elaborate designs.
There are so many styles to choose from when opting for wall lighting, including a range of materials, colours and finishes. From simple and practical to extravagant and unique, there is a wide range of wall lights available to suit every home.
Floor Lamps
Floor lamps and standing lamps offer an excellent way to add light and warmth to a dark corner of a room whilst upping the ambience. Depending on the style, floor lamps can also be used to enhance a room’s décor and are often a spectacular finishing touch to a room.
Floor lamps are available in a range of styles, with the most popular styles including tripod floor lamps, arc floor lamps, lever/swing arm floor lamps, and multiple light floor lamps. They are commonly used in living rooms and bedrooms but can be used in any room in the home.
Table Lamps
Table lamps are often the most affordable style of interior lighting. They are most widely used in offices, bedrooms and living rooms to add light to a specific area of a room. Table lamps can easily be moved from room to room, depending on your need.
They are available in an expansive range of styles, materials and finishes. Whether you need a small and practical desk lamp that will get the job done or you are looking for a showstopping set of bedside table lamps to complete your bedroom décor, we have no doubt that you will find the perfect table lamp that meets your requirements.
The majority of table lamps feature a shade, however, some modern table lamps feature unusual, trendy designs, including industrial-style lamps and miniature arc lamps.
Choosing Interior Lighting
When choosing interior lighting for your home, there are several factors to consider. These include:
- Budget
- Interior lighting preferences
- Size and shape of your room
- Style of home décor and existing furniture
- Your lighting needs (do you want to add ambience and warmth or need practical lighting?).
We advise choosing interior lighting from a lighting supplier that prioritises high quality and durability whilst offering a wide range of options.
