We all know that decoration is a complicated matter, and there will be many details and precautions, such as the design of lighting, which will directly affect the lighting effect of the entire room and the decoration effect of the entire house. There are generally two types of lighting design, one is the main light design, and the other is the no main light design. So how to design the indoor no main light? Let's take a closer look!

How to design indoor lighting without main lights

Indoor lighting is divided into two types: main lighting and non-main lighting. The main lighting includes ceiling lights and chandeliers, which are set in the center of each functional area and radiate to every corner to achieve basic lighting. Non-main lighting is deepened on the basis of the main lighting, in the form of downlights, spotlights, wall lamps, table lamps, floor lamps, etc., which can be freely placed in every corner to present a rich environment.

Lighting selection

Lighting design contains a variety of knowledge, such as light source, color temperature, and illumination are all key points of lighting design. Light source refers to an object that emits light by itself, including stable light source, backlight source, lighting source, etc. The LED light in indoor lighting is the backlight source.

Color temperature refers to the visual effect conveyed by the light. There are three common color temperatures: warm light, warm white light and white light. Warm light is dim and yellowish, which can create a warm environment and is suitable for relaxation and rest. Warm white light is based on warm light, with enhanced color temperature, making the visual effect clearer while maintaining a warm feeling. It is suitable for a variety of areas. The picture presented by white light is clear and bright, and is suitable for functional areas such as reception and study.

Lighting conditions that need to be met in the living room, kitchen, and bedroom

At the beginning of any design, it is necessary to clarify the layout and design points of the lighting. As a reception area, the living room should be bright and transparent. White light is preferred, followed by warm white light. Avoid warm light. White light and warm white light can be added to the kitchen. Warm light can easily affect the mood and experience of cooking. The bedroom is a place for people to rest. The original intention of its layout and design is to create a warm and comfortable sleeping environment. Therefore, warm light or warm white light should be selected to avoid strong and dazzling white light.

The number and placement of lamps

The number and placement of lamps are also important. Too many lamps will affect the visual experience, form a messy picture, and affect the style of the interior space. In each functional area, 2-4 lamps are appropriate, and they can be placed in the ceiling, reading area, bedside or work area, etc., to form an orderly sense of space.

1. Living Room

For the living room, use a ceiling lamp as the main light to achieve basic lighting. If you are used to reading on the sofa, you can add a floor lamp. The shape of the lamp should be simple and suitable for the home style. If you want the living room to be illuminated without a main light, you can use downlights above the ceiling. The number of downlights should be determined according to the size of the living room, or you can use the light strip inside the U-shaped ceiling as a reference point to create a warm atmosphere.

2. Kitchen

Taking into account the limited space of a free-standing kitchen, in addition to the basic main lighting, a light strip can be added under the cabinet. The invisible design provides convenience for people's cooking.

If it is an open kitchen, and there is enough space, you can use track spotlights and chandeliers to solve the basic lighting. Similarly, you can add light strips under the cabinets and above the workbench to prevent your shadow from blocking the light and affecting the vision when cooking.

3. Bedroom

There are many options for bedroom lighting, such as a warm white light as the main lighting, and the type of lamp can be a ceiling lamp or a downlight. Two wall lamps or table lamps can be added on both sides of the bed as lights before going to bed.

If you have the habit of getting up at night, you can add an invisible light strip under the head of the bed to solve the lighting problem at night, or install smart lights under the bed, which will automatically illuminate at the slightest sound, greatly improving your sense of happiness in living.

What are the advantages of no main light design?

The design without main lights is an improvement in design, and its advantages are reflected in the following three points:

1. Minimalism reduces the embellishment of space lights so that the space can only see light but not lights. This is the same as many designs where there is a lot of storage space but no doors. It is all for the purpose of simplifying the design and improving the experience.

2. The design without main lights is to increase the atmosphere of the space. You can close your eyes and imagine that after entering the room, once the main lights are turned on, there is no atmosphere in the whole house. The design without main lights can create a good family atmosphere and improve the family's sense of life. It makes a busy day, there is a relaxing environment, especially comfortable.

3. The design without main lights plays a very good effect in terms of key embellishment. The spotlights on the ceiling, the wall lamps, and the floor lamps are all used to embellish some spaces. While meeting the basic lighting needs, they also greatly improve the lightness and heaviness levels of the space lighting. The effect is very good.

Considerations for lighting design without main lights

1. The number of lamps should not be too many. 2-4 lamps are suitable for each functional area. The choice of color temperature depends on the use requirements;

2. The shape of the lamps should be simple and elegant, avoiding being too dominant and affecting the shaping of the home style;

3. Although non-main lighting is widely used in indoor spaces, it does not mean that it can be combined and matched at will. It needs to be based on real life. For example, downlights and spotlights do not need to be used in combination. You can choose one of them and match it with a light strip or table lamp;

4. Lighting without main lights is not a simple stacking and replication, but needs to be combined with the size of the space, the structure of the house and the home style. The needs of each resident are different, and the lighting arrangements are also different.
