<Light is one of the most important factors influencing our lives and our behavior as a human race. Humans have known light since ancient times in its natural and changing form from natural sources such as the light emitted to us from the sun, moon and stars and affected by the vagaries of the climate and was an integral part of human life and activity. The concept of light has evolved to include artificial sources since man discovered wood and fossil fuels, and now light has become an important element in the design and aesthetics of the home...Amlak Real Estate Newspaper will open for you, dear reader, the file of lighting to help you choose and design the appropriate lighting for your home and each room separately.

Variety of lighting sources in the home
In modern home design, lighting is present in the external facades of the building, as well as inside the house, whether this lighting is through an overhead source such as hanging chandeliers or spotlights planted in plaster decorations, or through towers placed sideways on tables, or through floor and vertical lights that direct their light upwards, or through wall lights with dim light that give beauty to wall paintings and give the room warmth and mythical beauty.

Choice of lighting
The right choice of lighting source plays an important role in showing and increasing the beauty of the room and home and giving the illusion of a large space, and vice versa. For example, surfaces and rooms that have been painted with light-colored paint reflect light and appear bright even if the lighting is dim. On the other hand, dark-colored surfaces and rooms absorb light, so they need good lighting in order not to create the illusion of a cramped space.
Whatever the different sources of lighting, you must take into account the style of your home and the type of furniture and furnishings, modern style requires choosing lighting with a modern design and classic style requires choosing everything that is classic to ensure the consistency of the pieces with each other and ensure the aesthetic flow of the rooms. Also, some types of lighting such as spotlights, chandeliers and wall lighting need to be planned in advance so that the electrical circuits are extended in a hidden way so as not to affect the aesthetics of the house.
In addition, there must be prior planning of lighting to suit the activities and uses of the room and take into account the artistic and aesthetic touches that may be placed in the room, and the use of more than one source of lighting in the room must be considered if it is used for more than one purpose or for more than one activity, such as living rooms that can be converted into an office or dining room.

Types of lighting

Types of lighting
There are three different types of lighting in the home:
1- Primary lighting, which comes from chandeliers and overhead spotlights that give the place a large amount of light that makes it easy to see clearly in the room.

2- Secondary lighting such as towers and vertical lamps that can be lit to be an additional source of light in the place and are often dimmed and have a lower amount of light than the main lighting.
3- Artistic lighting that is hung on the walls to show the beauty of a hanging painting or artifact or to accentuate the beauty of the wall and is placed in a way that is directed to a specific focus point. Different lighting intensities
Lighting intensity varies depending on the type of room and the activities that take place within it. For example, bedrooms are places that require calm and tranquility, so it is preferable to choose lights with soft lighting, but high intensity lights should be present if the room has wardrobes or a cosmetic counter. This is through the presence of overhead lighting such as chandeliers and the presence of side lighting on both sides of the bed such as towers, as for children's bedrooms, they are different from adult bedrooms, as they require the presence of intense lighting close to nature to ensure the safety and vitality of the child and his various activities such as sleeping, playing, writing and reading in the room. Overhead lighting can be supplemented with side lighting such as a lampshade used for reading before bedtime or to give the child a soft light when they are afraid of sleeping in the dark.
On the other hand, bathroom lighting is preferred to be of high intensity with side lighting directed on both sides of the bathroom mirror to give more comfort and light, especially when using cosmetics. We must not forget the quality of lighting at the bathtub to ensure safety. Fluorescent, spotlight or cylinder lights can be used but care must be taken to match their number with the space.
The kitchen must also have intense lighting to give comfort and safety when dealing with sharp kitchen tools or with flame and heat, and it is preferable that the light sources be bright overhead because it ensures more light distribution and must be of a light close to natural light that tends to white color in order to be clear and real vision. Chandeliers or wall lights can be used in some areas of bathrooms or kitchens to add an additional aesthetic character to the place, especially in certain places such as above the dining table in the kitchen or next to or above the bathtub or hand wash.
Offices also need intense light to create an atmosphere suitable for working, reading and writing. The intense overhead lighting can be supported by wall lights that highlight art pieces and use lampshades or floor lighting around seating and reading areas.
In dining rooms it is important to highlight the dining table mainly and chandeliers come to be the first and most beautiful choice for this room with the freedom to choose the rest of the types of lighting in the rest of this room.
Corridors are not often used so they do not need a strong source of lighting and often contain some pendants such as paintings and art pieces, so they are suitable for side or secondary lighting.
Finally, the lighting of living rooms varies according to the taste of the homeowner, but it is often preferred to choose yellow lights such as spotlights, lampshades and chandeliers to give the place warmth and luxury, also you can increase the wall lights above the art pieces and use vertical lights and different lampshades.

In conclusion, remember that your activity in the rooms used is the first and last determinant of the intensity and type of light, but do not lose sight of the importance of natural sunlight and the breathtaking beauty it brings to the place as well as warmth and life.
