How to choose the perfect lighting in a contemporary home

Come scegliere l'illuminazione perfetta in una casa contemporanea

The choice of lights in today's homes is one of the great doubts that people face on several occasions. Whether it's furnishing a new house from scratch or renovating even just one room of the current one, the possibilities of choice are so numerous and different among them that it is very easy to lose reference points and not know what to do.

For this reason today I will guide you room by room through a series of design tips to put into practice when you want to think (or rethink) about lighting of your home.

#1 For a living room you need to consider the focal points of the room, so a suspended chandelier will be perfect to illuminate the sofa area, or possibly that of the dining table, with a more classic style. If, however, you are looking for a less traditional and impactful option, placing a wall lighting element in strategic points such as next to a bookcase or above a fireplace will certainly create an elegant effect and refinement.

#2 In bedroom the most popular solutions are the ceiling chandelier or the classic wall lamps, but also consider the possibility, more contemporary, to choose hanging modular elements. In fact, these can be arranged at different heights for a less static effect, in correspondence with bedside tables or a make-up area, and you will immediately feel like you are in a elegant suite of a luxury hotel.

#3 The bathroom of today's homes is a protagonist , so why not choose something spectacular? A designer suspended chandelier positioned above a bathtub, or some elegant wall lamps arranged symmetrically on the sides of the washbasin cabinet, could be the elements you need for a real upgrade of a bathroom without personality.

#4 The contemporary kitchens resemble real boutiques and the lights certainly cannot be any less. To draw attention to an already beautiful island, perhaps in marble, the choice can for example fall on a ceiling pendant chandelier which is not too large but also on a series of pendants all placed at the same height centered on the length of the island itself.

Today more than ever the home is the theater of our daily life so I hope that with the help of my guide you can choose the perfect lighting that reflects your needs, your taste and your personal idea of home.
