PLANNING FUNCTIONS UNDER LIGHT HOUSE ON LIVING ROOM

You're building a new home? Or is planning to renovate a house? A good idea to pay attention to artificial lighting in your home,
because good lighting is very supportive of interior space, both in terms of function or aesthetics.

Well, for that here I will explain a few tips for lighting in the rooms in your house. Maybe you need to discuss with an interior designer or architect for more details. But I simply try to divide the lighting in the room.

1. Guest room

 

The living room is a reflection of the owner of the house, the lighting arrangement is very important in addition to the arrangement of the room layout and furniture. Lighting living room is very important and necessary when we had guests. Activities guests and homeowners are acts that are detailed and require a maximum illumination. It required a uniform lighting throughout the room. But when the living room is not in use, it is better to use local illumination, such as wall lamp, table lamp, or a standing lamp. In conclusion, it needs two types of lighting in the living room, which is evenly lighting and local lighting.

2. Family Room

 Family room is a room in a residential core. Usually the family room located in the middle of the house. Activity in the family room is very complex, ranging from watching television, reading, writing, chatting, until eating and drinking. You could say all the activities of the entire room house can be done in the living room, except for activities in the bathroom and laundry room. For that lighting in the living room is very complex as well. Uneven lighting, direct lighting and local lighting is needed in this room. Use of lights that illuminate the entire room is the main thing. Use of lights in the direction of, for example for lighting decorations, paintings, or family photos will also add to the aesthetics. Plus placement table lamp, standing lamp and wall lamp with a matching interior space will give the impression that, Äúlebih, Äù in your family room.

3. Bedroom

Its main activity is the space of rest. So the use of lamps for lighting in this room do not really focus on the uneven illumination. And local directional lighting will further maximize the activity. Placement of lights that need to be considered is at spots such as bed side (lamp), cupboard dresser (halogen lamp), and a wardrobe of clothes. Placement of the lights in this area will maximize the space in the sphere as a place to rest. The use of hidden lamp (slim lamp) is placed behind the ceiling trap is also interesting when the main lights turned off at bedtime.

4. Kitchen

This room requires a high accuracy. This is due to activities such as slicing vegetables, turn on the stove, and dangerous activities if not careful. In addition to the use of uneven illumination, also require local lighting. Its function is to illuminate the parts that are used for the above activities. For example, placement under slim fluorescent in the kitchen set will also help the cooking activity, other than add to the aesthetics of course. Installation of lighting installations can be set in conjunction with the installation of sockets for the fridge, magic jar, or blender. Also for the installation of cooker hood, which usually also is mounted lights set in it. Selection of light in the kitchen set is also worth noting, between light and dark colors bright. Use big watts will feel the heat because of the distance that light near the kitchen atmosphere that is also hot. Installation of lighting installations need to be considered for a neat, so that the cables do not interfere with vision.



5. Dining Room

Just as the kitchen, the activities in this room need a high accuracy. Local lighting is bright, such as the use of lights hanging above the dining table is highly recommended. In addition to the main lighting during feeding activity, also could add to the aesthetics, especially coupled with the lamp or standing lamp wall around the dinner table. Basically, depending on your taste for color selection. However, it is better to adjust with the theme of interior space. Color difference between the main chandelier and ceiling lights will give a different nuance. Impression cozy, warm, with light yellowish usually become an idol of people today.

6.  Bathroom

Activities conducted in the most ideal bathroom with adequate lighting. The concern here is the location of the placement and stand or hood lights. Do not get exposed to light splashes of water or water intruding in the fittings. This can lead to a short-circuit. In addition, the lamp may break due to expansion of gases if exposed to water splashes. Please note also, a good bathroom should be enough for air circulation and light. So in addition to artificial lighting, bathrooms have natural light for temperature and humidity maintained. Air flow is also necessary to channel water vapor and odor.

7. Circulation space

Is the liaison between the living room. Can be a foyer, hallway, or just part of the space that may have different levels, colors, or floor patterns. Accommodate circulation space between spaces of travel activity. So lighting is needed is sufficient lighting for safety. Whether it's uneven illumination, focused or local. The three types of lighting can be applied in this circulation space.

8. Support spaces

What is meant by support space such as terraces, balconies, gardens,
garages, warehouses, etc., where the activities carried out separately as with activity in the house. Lighting in these spaces needs only and do not adjust too absolute for the functional implementation. Similar to the courtyard and garden, use of lighting is more focused on aesthetics rather than function.
