After all, you want to feel comfortable within your own 4 walls and enjoy staying. Every room poses different challenges for artificial lighting. Eating, working, sleeping, watching TV, relaxing &#8211; the demands could not be more different. So it is obvious that a single light source cannot meet all of them. If you don&#8217;t want to hire a lighting planner or lighting designer right away, you can follow a few simple rules here and use our tips to create your own light planning for your home.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>BASICS FOR HOME LIGHTING DESIGN<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>First of all, we must be aware that lighting has 3 basic functions that should be considered separately:<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE BASIC LIGHTING<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>THE ZONE LIGHT (square lighting)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>THE MOOD LIGHTING<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Grundbeleuchtung-Raumteilung.jpg\" alt=\"Lichtplanung, Grundbeleuchtung, zonenlicht, Stimmungslicht, Raumbeleuchtung, Lichtplanung zu Hause\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Grundbeleuchtung-Raumteilung.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Grundbeleuchtung-Raumteilung-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Grundbeleuchtung-Raumteilung-768x427.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>THE BASIC LIGHTING<\/h4>\n<p>As the name suggests, basic lighting brings a <strong>general brightness<\/strong> to the room. It serves for <strong>orientation, structuring and illumination<\/strong> for the entire room. Corridors, stairwells and foyers, for example, should be provided with adequate general lighting. Outdoors, it serves the purpose of showing the way, e.g. at the edge of footpaths or as streetlamps. The basic lighting could include built-in ceiling lamps or generous LED panels, dimmable to adjust the light in the room. This is especially important in rooms with little daylight.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4486\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4486\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4484 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Grundbeleuchtung_Gleiderung.jpg\" alt=\"Lichtplanung, Grundbeleuchtung, zonenlicht, Stimmungslicht, Raumbeleuchtung, Lichtplanung zu Hause\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Grundbeleuchtung_Gleiderung.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Grundbeleuchtung_Gleiderung-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Grundbeleuchtung_Gleiderung-768x427.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4486\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Structure and orientation in every room, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.segula.de\/en\/art-line\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Segula Art<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.segula.de\/en\/ambient-dimming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ambient<\/a> Line<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>THE ZONE LIGHT<\/h4>\n<p>Zone lighting or square lighting meets <strong>special requirements in different areas of individual rooms<\/strong>. These include, for example, the dining table or work area, but also the kitchen or the mirror in the bathroom. Here we need different lighting variations to meet the requirements. At the workplace, a lamp with neutral white light or daylight might make sense, this promotes concentration and motivation. Above the dining table, a nice ceiling lamp with dimmable light in warm colours is a good choice. In the reading corner, a nice floor or table lamp with sufficient luminosity and a warm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.segula.de\/en\/the-colour-temperature\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">colour temperature<\/a> should be placed to illuminate the area well and make reading pleasant.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4490\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4490\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4488 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Zonenbeleuchtung1.jpg\" alt=\"Lichtplanung, Grundbeleuchtung, zonenlicht, Stimmungslicht, Raumbeleuchtung, Lichtplanung zu Hause\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Zonenbeleuchtung1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Zonenbeleuchtung1-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Zonenbeleuchtung1-768x427.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4490\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zone lighting in the dining area.

Mood lighting<strong> conjures up atmosphere and sets accents<\/strong> in special places. The work of art on the wall is highlighted by 2 spotlights, the chic sideboard with an antique table lamp or the showcase with internal lighting. Dimmable LED lamps are also the means of choice for a pleasant, cosy atmosphere. Warm<a href=\"https:\/\/www.segula.de\/en\/the-light-colour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> light colours<\/a> also play an important role in this area. Brightness and atmosphere are beautifully combined and invite you to feel good.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4492\" src=\"https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Stimmungslicht_Effektbeleuchtung.jpg\" alt=\"Lichtplanung, Grundbeleuchtung, zonenlicht, Stimmungslicht, Raumbeleuchtung, Lichtplanung zu Hause\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Stimmungslicht_Effektbeleuchtung.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Stimmungslicht_Effektbeleuchtung-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Stimmungslicht_Effektbeleuchtung-768x427.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>LIGHTING DESIGN BEGINS WITH STRUCTURE<\/h3>\n<p>Which space needs how much and what light in which room? Only when these questions have been clarified can you start looking for suitable luminaires and lamps.<\/p>\n<p>After all, a good lighting concept divides rooms, creates orientation, emphasises beautiful details and sometimes conceals something that you might want to hide. Good light therefore depends not only on the <strong>quality and design<\/strong> of the lamps and light sources, but also on their <strong>positioning and dimensionin<\/strong>g in the room.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4496\" src=\"https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Zonenlicht_Stimmungslicht.jpg\" alt=\"Lichtplanung, Grundbeleuchtung, zonenlicht, Stimmungslicht, Raumbeleuchtung, Lichtplanung zu Hause\" width=\"900\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Zonenlicht_Stimmungslicht.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Zonenlicht_Stimmungslicht-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.segula.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Zonenlicht_Stimmungslicht-768x597.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Suitable lights and illuminants for every area of private life are naturally available in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.segula.de\/shop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SEGULA Online Shop<\/a>.
