LED lights can create many possibilities in interior lighting design and add brilliance to house decoration. First, we need to understand three types of lighting: Ambient, Task, and Accent lighting. 

Three Lighting Types

Ambient Lighting

Ambient lighting is used for general lighting and is the main light source in a room. It sets the tone for indoor lighting. Soft ambient lighting in a living room gives people a sense of comfort and simplicity, and warm ambient lighting in a bedroom can relax the mind and body. LED lights are the first choice for ambient lighting because they're very power efficient.

Task Lighting

Task lighting is used for specific activities, such as reading, applying makeup, and preparing food. When preparing food, it is recommended to choose brighter and cooler lights to improve concentration. Dimmed LED lights can be adjusted to the right brightness and color temperature according to the task.

Accent Lighting

Accent lighting is used for decorative highlights by highlighting specific objects. For example, using accent lighting to display photos or artwork hanging on the wall makes the home like an art gallery which is more distinctive.

Lighting types in different rooms

Living Room

The living room is a place to relax with family, entertain guests, and read. To better realize the function of the living room, you need to distinguish the lighting types of the living room.

• Ambient Lighting

Recessed lighting is the first choice for ambient lighting in the living room, which can create a clean and modern look. If you prefer an elegant retro style, you can try a chandelier.

• Task Lighting

Placing a floor lamp near the sofa can better realize the living room office or reading.

• Accent Lighting

The paintings on the walls and the ornaments in the cabinets represent your design ingenuity. Installing wall lamps or LED light strips in these places can increase the design atmosphere.

Kitchen

The kitchen is a workspace, and task lighting should be the main consideration.

• Cabinet Lighting

Installing cabinet lights on the kitchen countertop can help you prepare and cook well. Avoid the situation where the light is so dim that sugar is mistaken for salt.

Bedroom

The bedroom is for relaxation, and the lighting should be as soft as possible.

• Ambient Lighting

Opt for soft, warm lighting to create a calming atmosphere. Ceiling lights with a dimmer switch allow you to adjust the brightness as needed. Choosing a warm light (2700K-3000K) can help you fall asleep better.

• Task Lighting

If you have the habit of reading before going to bed, then a bedside reading lamp is essential.

• Accent Lighting

Add a touch of elegance with wall sconces or LED strips behind the headboard. This subtle glow enhances the room’s ambiance without being overpowering.

Bathroom 

The bathroom is a space where functionality meets relaxation. Put on your makeup in front of the mirror and wash off your day's fatigue in the bathroom. So consider layering lighting.

• Ambient Lighting

Use waterproof ceiling lights or downlights to provide even lighting for the bathroom. Make sure there is enough light for showering or cleaning.

• Task Lighting

Makeup and shaving are usually done before makeup in the bathroom, so task lighting near the makeup mirror is essential. Install wall-mounted sconces on both sides of the mirror to eliminate shadows on the face. Choose bulbs with a color temperature between 3000K and 4000K to simulate natural light.
