Increasingly used. A touch of sophistication and subtlety for your environment. Today, we bring you the keys to get the most out of indirect light.

The first step to knowing how to use it is to know what exactly it is.

Indirect light consists of projecting light onto the walls or ceiling. It is one whose light source is not directly exposed to the room. It is located behind a structural element or on a hidden surface. In this way, the space is illuminated by the light reflected on the surfaces, allowing diffuse light output. Hence the concept of indirection.

This light eliminates glare and shadows by creating a much more dispersed light. In this way, it allows us to create very cozy environments, give spaciousness to the space and highlight the architectural lines that interest us. This type of lighting is widely used in styles such as contemporary, minimalist or feng shui.

Using this technique is to plan it before construction in order to play with the elements. In any case, its integration a posteriori is also possible. We can use it in all areas of the home.

The luminaire that is usually used for this technique is LED. This does not produce heat, does not damage furniture or walls and makes it easier to hide light points.

Where do I project the light?

How do I install it depending on the location?

Three variants depending on the projection of light. How and where do each one look best? You will always be the one who has the final decision, but we give you some guidelines.

  1. Living room:The winning variant is the projection on the ceiling. The most common thing is to put this type of luminaire along the perimeter. But, and if you want to highlight a display case in your living room, placing indirect light inside can be a great idea.
  2. Hallways and stairs: Luminaire projected on the ceiling or floor. Used appropriately it can even be the only lighting in the environment. On stairs it is usually positioned LED strips en the bottom of the step.strip- led-optimaled
  3. Bathroom: A place where this type of lighting has not yet been exploited. Our recommendation to break the norm, indirect light from the frame of your mirror. You will give a different touch to the environment.
  4. Bedroom: The usual thing would be from the ceiling but we invite you to be daring, how about under the bed? The decorative touch is incredible. We suggest that you put in adjustable lights. In this way, you will create an intense atmosphere during the day and a softer one at night.
  5. Kitchen: possibly the most functional space in the house. Design and practice do not have to be separate concepts. If you illuminate the lower part of the cabinets that you have on the countertop you will achieve both.

Many ideas, many examples and concepts but you are the one who decides. Of course, if you decide to integrate indirect lighting, do not hesitate to contact contact us. (link to website). We have the product you need.
