When designing a room, office, or even a whole new home, we very carefully select a color scheme, lighting fixtures, chandeliers, and functional furniture to allow the correct use of the spaces. Many people don’t necessarily realize that all this careful planning can be meaningless if we don’t pay attention to the color temperature of the actual bulbs selected to light the space.

which #lighttemperature are you?

A post shared by Gravity Architects (@gravity.architects) on

During these times when many of us are setting up a home office, it’s important to make the right choice when it comes to matching up the temperature to how we work. Since LED bulbs are the most environmental, we’ll focus on the options available with LED lights.

Color temperature is measured with Kelvins (K) and runs on a scale from 1000K, representing soft, yellow candlelight, and 10000K, representing pure sunlight. The measurement relates to the light that will return from a black object in the space. The range that’s mostly available when it comes to LED lights is 2700K (“warm white”) to 5000K (“cold white” or “daylight”).

When it comes down to the actual choices, it’s mostly a matter of taste, while daylight temperature of 5,000K or higher may be a shocking brightness for some, it gives a refreshing clean tone in the eyes of others. A general tip light designers share with buyers is to use the same color temperature throughout a space to give it a cleaner, cohesive feel.

A home is never complete without good lighting and this is true for every room. While natural light is often the best option, sometimes you just don’t have it in a certain room. Here’s what to do if you lack natural light in your kitchen.

Hang Mirrors

If you have room across from where there is a window, you can hang a big mirror there. You’ll essentially be doubling the light that gets in. If you don’t have enough room to hang a mirror, you can buy furniture pieces with mirrored surfaces that will do the job.

Go With Light Colors

A black kitchen may look chic, but it’s not a good solution for smaller spaces without natural light. Stick with white or beige walls and surfaces in light colors.

Smart Lighting

Invest in lightbulbs that simulate daylight and make the most out of the light fixtures that are available in your kitchen.

Bonus: Add plants if you want your kitchen to look more relaxing and natural, but choose those that don’t require plenty of sunshine to thrive.

Lighting is a very important part of every single interior. These days there are so many trendy designs that you can choose to elevate your space. Check out the biggest home lighting trends for 2018 below.

Do The Fringe

You can never go wrong with fringe. This year, the lighting trends are all about statement chandeliers and lamps that will really upgrade your space. The best way to go is to add some color without being afraid that it’s too much.

All The Luxury

Luxury chandeliers are once again on trend. The bigger, the better. If this type of lighting fits in your home decor theme, don’t hesitate before getting one. The best thing about luxury pieces is that they are timeless.

Round And Metallic

Round and metallic bulbs are one of the biggest lighting trends for 2018. You can opt for silver, gold, bronze or the fanciest one of them all- rose gold. There are many floor lamps with a similar design such as this one, that will bring fresh vibes to your rooms.

Geometric Vibes

Geometric, industrial lighting pieces are so cool. Instagram and Pinterest announced this trend at the beginning of the year, so now it’s time for you to snatch one during sales. They fit perfectly in every single room of the house.

Candles seem to be reserved for only special occasions, or romantic times. But the flickering light of a candle can be celebrated in every room uniquely and easily. Follow these tips and make every day in your home feel like a special event.

Bathroom

Scented candles in the bathroom are great to keep, especially for when guests come over. Depending on your home, you may not find solace in your bathroom. However, with a few candles spread about your guests will become immediately at ease and grateful for the scent.

Bedroom

If you have a window ledge or even just a side table in your bedroom, put a few candles on it and feel the difference. When the day turns to dusk, instead of immediately throwing on the light, light a few candles and enjoy a warm drink or a book.

Dining Room

Although tapered candles are normally saved for the fanciest occasions, it doesn’t have to be so! Lighting candles for even a weeknight meal can give you a little treat that you might need after a long day. Even if the meal is casual or even take out, treating yourself to the right ambiance can lift your mood and make the rest of the week not as scary.

When choosing to light for your nursery, there are certain factors you have to keep in mind. Harsh lighting and too much sun beating into a room can be uncomfortable and unhealthy for a baby.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BhFW0nYFaJ9/?tagged=nurserylighting

Harsh lighting may make your baby may feel anxious. Avoid using exposed bulbs and halogen lights in a nursery and go for shaded or diffused lighting instead.

Installing a dimmer switch may be helpful because it creates a soothing atmosphere that encourages your baby to fall asleep. It also helps with late-night feedings, keeping your baby in a drowsy state.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bf4ZunUnpqu/?tagged=dimmerswitch

The nursery should not be so dimly lighted that you battle to see what you’re doing. Layering the lighting takes care of this. Don’t just rely on one ceiling light but use lamps and another task-centered lighting, aiming for at least three light points.

Make sure that window treatments in the nursery allow you to keep the room cool and dark when your baby is sleeping. We all love natural light but it can cause your baby to wake up prematurely. Too much sun pouring in through the window can also overheat your baby.

You don’t have to worry about a newborn being afraid of the dark that a night light may help you from stumbling as you make your way into the room at night.
