If you are lighting your home or business, you will usually focus on the key parts such as the kitchen or main room. Today, we suggest you pay attention to those areas where it is not usually done.
The keys to creating a different style and giving personality to your room. We want to focus on the walls, by placing part of the lighting here you can give a new light to your environment.
You must take into account two keys:
- The position: where and how you decide to place the luminaires will make a difference. Locating or rotating the light points on your wall will change the vision and perspective of the room.
- The texture: a smooth wall is not the same as having the luck of have a stone or brick wall. If you have this type of walls, the game multiplies, take advantage of it. Give it good lighting on the extremities that gives it strength and you will create a better visual effect.
Now we present our tips for illuminating walls:
- Overhead lighting: The most common way to illuminate a wall is from the ceiling. It provides a flow of light that you can direct depending on where you position the luminaire. You must take into account the distance between each focus depending on the effect you want to achieve.
- Lighting from the ground: a variant that is increasingly interesting. Gives an effect of monumentality, it creates the mirage of altitude to the walls or walls that it illuminates.
- Play with intention: thanks to the lighting in With a wall we can create intentions, highlight a corner, highlight an area that would otherwise go unnoticed. Two simple lamps placed in different places in specific places can create a special atmosphere
- Random lighting: logic leads us to a simple reflection, we must organize the light points. But, decoration does not always follow logic. Placing the lights in a random and asymmetrical way grants a dynamism that we could not enjoy otherwise. The effect achieved is truly impressive.
- Light and color: generally we choose cold or warm lights because we intend to highlight the texture and material of the the wall. The rules are there to be broken. You can play with tones and colors, be original and creative. Even, why not, place lights that change color on their own from time to time.
Exterior lighting will have a special section. And the exterior walls are one of the “walls” with which you can play the most. The exterior walls have a completely different style during the day than when night falls.
During the day, the light on the walls highlights the colors, texture and volume. On the other hand, at night a play of lights gives it a mysterious character. We can combine our lighting with bushes. Thus, the presence of vegetation can be the key to deciding where to place the light points. This combination of nature and lighting gives added value to the location.
To illuminate your exterior walls you must have planning and follow a strategy. You must be in charge of fulfilling two functions. The first, do not leave areas with little light and the second, decorate.
Our last piece of advice in this post is to use your imagination. What do you think about leaving aside the typical light bulbs? And if, in addition to illuminating your walls, you illuminate them with appliques or with led strips.
