The last step of decoration is often to choose the lighting fixtures in your home. If the lighting fixtures are not chosen well, can easily make a mistake, making a house that has cost hundreds of thousands to be renovated suddenly become cheap.
If you want to feel happier after moving in, you must pay attention to the lighting selection at home. As someone who has just renovated a house, let me talk to you about how to correctly choose lamps. recommends that you grasp these 5 points, not for appearance, but for the sake of saving money and practicality.
1. Don’t go to physical stores to buy lamps.
Lamps are all consumables. Not only are the styles easily outdated, but the bulbs are also easy to break. In the past, it was common for my family to replace light bulbs two or three times a year. Therefore, no matter how expensive the lamps are, they will face this problem. It is better for everyone to buy them directly online.
Apart from being more expensive, the lamps in physical stores are basically the same as those purchased online.
So when you buy lamps, should be shipped from Zhongshan . You can blindly buy if it has high online reviews. Generally, you will not go wrong. Also, don’t choose lamps that are too expensive, usually around a few hundred yuan.
2. Style selection
In addition to having no main lights at home, choosing ordinary lamps is actually very simple.
The main lighting components at home are ceiling lamps , chandeliers, wall lamps, spotlights, downlights, . These types of lamps are almost enough. It is recommended that you directly choose ceiling lamps for the living room, which are cost-effective and have better lighting effects.
For restaurant lights, you can choose chandeliers with a simpler shape, which are both designed and easy to maintain;
For lamps embedded in the ceiling, you can choose spotlights or downlights, depending on the specific effect.
3. Material selection
In the past, when we chose lamps, the more advanced the , the more expensive the material, the better. . But now we choose lamps on the contrary, the simpler, the better, and the more common the material, the better.
When you choose lamps, it is best to choose lighter materials or plastic materials. Even if the installation is not firm and falls, there will not be much safety hazard.
Like metal lamps and glass lamps, these lamps are not only expensive, but also have safety hazards after installation, which may affect our personal safety.
For the main lamp at home, you can choose acrylic material, other lamps made of plastic or other lighter materials, which are cost-effective and safe.
4, color
Lighting can directly affect our home happiness. If the color of the light is chosen inappropriately, it will give people a sense of discomfort, so everyone must pay attention to the color of the light.
If you want the light in your home to be brighter, it is best to choose white light. If you want the light in your home to be warmer, you can choose yellowish light.
The following summarizes some color temperature suggestions that you can adopt:
The color temperature of living room lamps is around 4000K. If you like warmer tones, choose around 3000K;
The color temperature of bedroom lamps can be lower, which is more suitable for rest, so choose around 3000-2000K;
The lights in the bathroom and kitchen can be brighter, and you can choose 4000k and up!
5, Price
When choosing lamps, price is also one of the factors. Many people around me buy lamps at very expensive prices. But after moving in later, I found that there is not much difference between expensive and cheap lamps.
So when we buy lights, we don’t need to choose too expensive styles.
The price of lamps in the living room and bedroom can be slightly better, around 500 is enough, while the lamps in other places are around 200 to 300.
We can spend money on soft furnishings and furniture, which can improve our home happiness and quality of life.
Xiaoju’s summary:
After the decoration, it’s time to choose the lamps and the dawn of victory is almost there. Don’t buy blindly and be taken advantage of!
