Too dependent on one main source of light
Many people think that just a large lamp is enough light for the whole room. In fact, this both makes the space lack depth and easily causes eye strain.
When designing lighting, in addition to ceiling lights, you should add other light sources such as floor lights next to the sofa, reading table lights, LED strips on kitchen cabinets... These bright spots not only help with enough light when used but also create a warmer feeling.
Choosing the wrong color temperature of light
Cold white light is bright, but if used for a long time, it will cause discomfort in the bedroom or dining area. Therefore, you should choose light that suits each space.
Bedroom, dining room: Warm yellow light to create a feeling of relaxation.
Work and study areas: Light should be close to natural light for easy concentration.
Unreasonable light arrangement
Arbitrarily placing lights can make some places too bright, some places too dark, causing inconvenience during daily life. You should consider your travel habits and the area used in the house.
For example: Install sensor lights at the entrance to automatically turn on at night; arrange more front and rear lights in the living room to reduce glare when watching TV.
Ignoring the aesthetic element of the lamp
Lights are not only for lighting but also a part of interior decoration. If chosen inappropriately, lights can reduce overall beauty and cause difficulties in cleaning. Priority should be given to light models with simple designs, harmonious with the house's style, and easy to use and clean.
Not paying due attention to electricity saving
Energy-saving lighting equipment both helps reduce electricity bills and is environmentally friendly. LED lights are now a popular choice because they consume less electricity, have a long lifespan, and require less replacement. Although the initial cost of LED lights may be higher, it is more economical and efficient in the long term.
