How to Choose the Right Ceiling Lamp for Every Room
After a day of toil, we all desire to go home and unwind in a peaceful environment. Oh dear! You cannot escape the madness of the city, but you can make the mood just right to relax with the appropriate ceiling lamp.
It’s about getting the fundamentals right to revolutionize your own space entirely with the ideal lighting. So here are our expert tips on how to pick a ceiling lamp.
Consider the Room’s Purpose
There is a ceiling lamp for every room. If you are thinking of revamping your kitchen’s or office’s lighting, you should go for a ceiling light that lights up the place evenly and brightly. But if you are choosing a lamp for your bedroom, choose a soft and ambient light.
Ceiling Height Matters
Yes, not all ceiling lamps will work the same for different ceilings. If you are buying a lamp for a lower ceiling, go for flush or semi-flush mounts. But if you have a tall ceiling, go for pendant lights or chandeliers, something that will light up the room evenly.
Choose the Right Fixture Size
It’s all about the balance! It’s just quite logical that if you go for a huge and majestic ceiling lamp, it will be too bright. Similarly, if you go for something too small, it would look like Gotham City!
There is a simple equation for choosing the right lamp size: add the length and breadth of your room (in feet) and use that number (in inches) as a rule of thumb for the ideal diameter of your ceiling lights.
Match the Decor Style
Your ceiling lamp is your room’s buddy— they should complement each other. The right ceiling light will complete your room’s look and feel. If you want a modern feel, like the one you see in movies, go for a sleek metallic finish lamp. And if you are a connoisseur of classics, go for a wooden finish or antique ceiling lights.
Go for Dimmable Lighting
You can’t have multiple ceiling lights in your room. So, what do you do when you want some romantic lighting for a dinner date? There is a simple solution— go for dimmable lighting. Invest in a ceiling lamp that can be controlled, and you will be able to create the perfect ambiance and mood for every occasion.
Color Temperature is the Wizard
Color temperature works like a wizard! It can easily set the mood of the room. A warm white (2700K- 3000K) is ideal for cozy spaces like your bedroom. A cool white (4000K- 5000K) is perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, or spaces where you need to be focused and think clearly.
Go for Energy-Efficient Options
LED is the future. LED ceiling lights are not only energy-efficient but are also long-lasting and use lower wattage. They come with dimmable or smart features that make them more functional. Always go for ENERGY STAR® products for more efficiency.
Layering Adds Drama
If you want to add some drama and more personality to your room, don’t use the ceiling lamp as the only source of light. Layer it with wall-lights, floor lamps, or under-cabinet LEDs for a much more soothing feel.
Safety Comes First
If you are going to install a ceiling lamp in the bathroom or on an outdoor patio, choose a damp—or wet-rated lamp. This will not only help keep your lamp in good working order but also help keep it as safe as possible.
Let Your Ceiling Lamp Take Centre Stage
