Let there be light! Although lighting is one of the most important aspects of any home, deciding the mood and tone of any desired space, it’s surprising just how little thought some will take when deciding what fixtures to choose for their new home. That’s why we’ve put together a comprehensive list of home lighting ideas that you can achieve with our range of LED lighting products and beyond.
At Vision Lighting, we’re dedicated to bringing our customers only the very best quality lighting fixtures, with each of our varied and versatile products coming with a mark of guaranteed excellence.
Choosing the right lighting for each room
Before we get started, it’s important to establish exactly which lights look good in each room, with some kinds of lighting being unsuitable or undesirable for certain spaces. Task lighting from above, for example, is ideal for functional tasks, often appearing in areas such as dim dining rooms to provide ample illumination for family dinners or round-table board games.
Elsewhere, accent lighting is ideal for a hallway to highlight a piece of art you have hanging up or outdoors to draw attention to a specific part of your garden. In most of the rooms in your home, however, it’s simple ambient lighting that evenly illuminates the space that you’ll be looking for, with this usually being achieved by combining lights of different wattages and sizes around the room.
Home lighting ideas for every space
Including a range of indoor fixtures, garden wall lamps and LED solutions, at Vision Lighting we can offer something for any space, allowing you to instantly upgrade every single room of your house. Delving into how each room can be evolved using our lighting, explore our suggestions below to inspire your own imagination before you make your purchase.
Cook with gorgeous kitchen lighting
While primarily being used to cook and prepare food, kitchens are versatile spaces that also invite communality and conversation. Therefore, it’s important, when designing your kitchen to keep functionality at the forefront of your mind, with task lighting being your main port of call, nicely illuminating your work surfaces to create a safe, as well as an aesthetically pleasing, environment.
For the very best kitchen task lights, look no further than the 8-in-1 LED downlight. Available in five bezel colour finishes, the 8-in-1 LED downlight is switchable between 5 and 7-watt power and four different LED colours. Dimmable and rated to IP65 below the ceiling, there are very few downsides to this stunning light that will make your kitchen an instantly inviting space.
When choosing kitchen lights for your space, it’s wise to opt for a fitting that is IP-rated since the room can frequently fill up with steam. Similarly, if there is a fire board installed on the ceiling, a fire-rated fitting is required to match the fire board rating. This is necessary in order to comply with UK building regulations part B relating to fire safety.
Warm bedroom lighting
Where a kitchen needs practical bright lights that will help you to guide you through your tasks, bedroom lighting requires the opposite. Although they’re used as multi-purpose rooms, the main use of a bedroom is to relax in the day and easily doze off in the night. Making sure you have the lighting to fulfil each and every versatile need is, therefore, crucial.
Dimmable pendant lights are often used in these spaces, however, they’re best used in conjunction with other kinds of lighting that emit different temperatures and tones. For example, LED modules are ideal for a bedroom, delivering you the soft glow of dusk that lulls you into a sense of relaxation, allowing you to easily drift off to sleep. Providing different moods and colours, such LED lighting can be great for teenage bedrooms too, giving a pop of vibrancy that can be perfect for gaming setups and craft tables.
If you’re after an even more practical solution, dimmable ceiling lights can also work well in small bedrooms, particularly for young children.
Task lighting for your dining room
As the title suggests, task lighting is your best bet to illuminate your dining room, offering versatile coverage that means the space can be used for pretty much any purpose. As a result we’d recommend the 8-in-1 LED Downlight which is dimmable, allowing you to create a moody dinner party aesthetic or a romantic meal for two.
Yet, the dynamism of a dining room brings with it the freedom to use any fixture you want within the space, with LED lighting being the perfect companion to a main pendant light to help you combat the darkness. Depending on what your intentions for the space are, LED strip lights could go down a treat, particularly if you enjoy a board game or two, with the adaptive coloured lighting being able to suit any mood.
Luxury bathroom lighting
Bathrooms aren’t the easiest spaces to light thanks to the abundance of reflections in mirrors, polished floors and even the basins and metal fixtures themselves. In addition, you’re limited to the kinds of lights you can install as bathrooms can easily become wet rooms for all sorts of aqua chaos, especially if you have young ones splashing about.
Still, there are plenty of options at Vision Lighting that you can use to brighten up your bathroom. No lights fit the bathroom space better than downlights, with these smart fixtures that fit tightly to the ceiling, providing all the light you need to achieve any hygiene task. For a blissful bathtime, our waterproof LED strip lights would also go down a treat, providing a dim, cosmic glow to your alone time that will allow you to escape into a world of your own.
Inviting lighting for your lounge
In our books, lighting for your lounge should be quite similar to the lighting you purchase for your bedroom, with a large task light being your main source of illumination. Elsewhere throughout the room, however, you should look to accentuate particular features like bookshelves and artwork using accent lighting or even LED strip lights.
Thanks to their versatility, LED light strips can be used anywhere around a room and can nestle into any corner to give your space a relaxed aesthetic. LED light bulbs emit a large amount of light while using minimal amounts of electricity, a feature that is particularly useful in a lounge that might be receiving access throughout the day by all members of the family.
Perfect ambient lighting for your study
No matter if your study is a separate cubbyhole or a sectioned-off part of another room, it’s essential to create a feeling of calm ambience for your working space. To ensure an ergonomic setup it’s important to have enough adequate lighting to go along with your spine-friendly chair and functional desk, with our range of solutions having everything you need.
If your study is dark and moody, 8-in-1 LED Downlights would add a touch of brightness and practicality. Choose from five bezel finishes, White, Black, Brushed Nickel, Brass, and Chrome, to make the space entirely yours. Elsewhere, if your study is a versatile space used for work and play, our LED strip lights also provide an excellent solution, particularly for gaming setups where the colourful lighting creates a vibrant, hi-tech feel that is difficult to pull yourself away from.
Welcoming lights for your hallway
A warm, glowing hallway will be your guests’ first impression of your home. Therefore, you want to make sure this long space is appropriately lit with accent lights or dim task lighting. Downlights can also offer a more practical solution, especially when paired with other fixtures, creating an efficient space that glows with the soft temperature of ambient lighting.
Indeed, as a busy space that sees people constantly coming and going, practical downlights are your best bet, especially considering that they can be easily adjusted to manage their intensity, creating an inviting space that suits any mood. Since different houses offer varying sizes of hallways, finding the best lighting for you will mean trying out several different combinations to see what works best.
Lights that give your garden a glow-up
As an extension of your home, the garden should be a haven of beauty and green-fingered experimentation. One of the most under-utilised ways to play with the shape of your garden is by using outdoor lighting to tweak the depth perception of a space by using floor spotlights that illuminate the borders and expand your capacity outwards.
Holding the ability to transform the ambience of any outdoor space, lights can be used in countless configurations to perfectly suit your own personal garden. As well as using floor spotlights, wall lights are also a smart and stylish way to illuminate your garden while also giving your space a new edge of practicality, and you could also consider security floodlights, with each of our products in this range having an IP rating of at least 65, making them perfectly weatherproof.
