The lighting should be bright, and the location of the lamps should be placed at the junction of the entrance and the deep indoor space. Putting lights on the cabinet or on the wall will give the hall a sense of spaciousness. Ceiling lights are elegant and harmonious with wall lights or spotlights.

If the living room is larger (more than 20 square meters), and the floor height is more than 3 meters, you should choose a larger multi-head chandelier. Ceiling lamps should be chosen for living rooms with low height and small area, because the light source is about 2.3 meters above the ground, and the lighting effect is the best. The ceiling lamp with a small thickness can achieve a good overall lighting effect. Spotlights can create a unique environment, and can be placed around the chandelier or on the upper part of the furniture to achieve a focused and rich artistic effect.

The location of the lamp should be installed as far as possible away from the stove, avoid steam and oil fume, and the shape of the lamp should be as simple as possible to facilitate wiping.
In an open kitchen, because the kitchen and the dining room are connected together, the lighting settings are slightly more complicated. Generally speaking, bright lights can set off a good dining atmosphere, so the restaurant lighting is usually composed of the main light above the dining table and one or two auxiliary lights. The former is installed on the ceiling with the light source facing downwards. The latter can be set on the stove, in the cupboard, next to the refrigerator or in the wine cabinet, as needed. Among them, the intensity of the lights in the decorative cabinets and wine cabinets should be able to emphasize the furnishings in the cabinets without affecting the external environment.

The lampshade should also be a sealed type, and priority is given to a light source that is bright at the touch of a touch. At the same time, bright and soft light is required, and the ceiling lamp should be avoided to be installed on the upper part of the bathtub. You can also directly use multiple spotlights to illuminate from different angles, bringing a rich sense of hierarchy to the bathroom.
Generally, the different functional areas of the washbasin, toilet and shower area can be arranged with different lights. The lighting design of the washbasin is diverse, but it focuses on highlighting functionality. Spotlights or fluorescent lamps can be installed above and around the mirror to facilitate grooming and shaving. The light in the shower room or bathtub can be set in two forms, one can be illuminated by the light from the spotlight on the ceiling. The style of the bathroom can be changed dramatically, because different lighting can create different tastes.
