1. Consider the overall decoration style first.

The selection of lamps needs to go through many screenings, and the decoration style is the first hurdle - lamps with conflicting styles will only look out of place at home. About lamp matching. For example, modern decoration style can often be matched with the more popular smart lamps, which form a linkage with other smart furniture in the home, which is not only modern but also smart; while the retro European style boldly chooses gorgeous chandeliers, warm-colored lamps with crystal decorations, which can enhance the overall grade of decoration; some simple decorations can appropriately pursue innovation in the selection of lamps. If the hard decoration style of your new house is relatively simple, it is not recommended to choose old-fashioned lamps, otherwise the home will appear lifeless.

In general, the elements missing in the decoration style can be made up from the design of lamps; the highlights in the decoration can be sublimated under the illumination of lamps, and lamps and decoration styles can complement each other or set off each other.

2. Consideration of apartment type and space

The lighting effects used in different areas are also different:

Large and compact apartments are mainly reflected in the living room chandelier in the choice of lighting.

The choice of living room lighting needs to avoid one-sided pursuit of lighting effects and ignoring space matching. Ceiling lamps and chandeliers are enough to create a solemn atmosphere;

Bedroom lighting is best with soft light. You can choose wall lamps, floor lamps or bedside lamps. The lines of the lamps can be matched with wardrobes or beds to create a sense of harmony;

The function of the lighting in the study room mainly considers eye protection. The first choice is full-spectrum eye protection lamps, which are bright and not dazzling;

The lighting in the kitchen, dining room, corridor, bathroom, etc. can be considered from the perspective of life interest. Small spotlights and ceiling lamps are more popular. Just avoid water vapor and oil smoke when installing.

3. Consider practicality as much as possible

It is important for lamps to look good, but in the final analysis, houses are for living, furniture is for use, and lamps are for lighting, which is the fundamental. The practicality of lamp selection should be higher than the design. Many customers prefer crystal lamps or overly bright headlights, but they don’t know that this type of lamp is not only not practical, but also easy to accumulate dust, which is very unfriendly for daily cleaning and flashy.

4. Energy saving and environmental protection are very important

o Cold light (above 5000K): Bright light, suitable for kitchens, bathrooms and other spaces.

• Color rendering index: The higher the color rendering index, the more realistic the color of the object. Generally, a color rendering index greater than 80 is selected.
