5 lighting mistakes that are easily overlooked during decoration

During the decoration process, lighting is often overlooked, but it is an extremely important aspect. Lighting not only affects the comfort and atmosphere of indoor space, but is also directly related to visual effects and living experience. However, there are some common mistakes that many people tend to make when arranging lighting. In this article, we’ll discuss five common lighting mistakes in renovations and provide solutions.

1. Pay attention to light in the final stage of decoration
Many people put lighting in a secondary position during the decoration process, focusing on furniture, walls, etc. However, it was not until everything was completed that they realized the importance of lighting. At this time, if you want to re-plan the lighting, you will face a lot of trouble. Therefore, in the final stage of decoration, we should focus on the layout and control of light to ensure the ideal lighting effect.

2. Let the lighting be the same as that of your neighbors.
Some people like to imitate their neighbors or refer to photos in fashion magazines for their lighting arrangements. However, they often ignore the characteristics of their home environment, resulting in very different effects of the same lighting in different interiors. It's like ordering a suit in the wrong size and expecting it to fit perfectly. Therefore, when choosing a lighting scheme, you should consider the actual situation of your own home instead of blindly imitating others.

3. Install lamps with different color temperatures
Many people tend to only focus on their appearance when purchasing lamps, but ignore the choice of color temperature. If the color temperature of the light emitted by different lamps is inconsistent, it will cause visual discomfort and confusion. Therefore, when purchasing lamps, you should pay attention to choosing lamps with the same color temperature to ensure uniform and harmonious light in the room.

4. Hang a chandelier from the ceiling
Some people like to hang a chandelier from the ceiling, thinking that is enough. However, such lighting layout often cannot meet the lighting needs in different scenarios. Therefore, when arranging lighting, appropriate lighting solutions should be selected according to the functions and usage scenarios of different spaces to ensure that ideal lighting effects can be obtained in different situations.

5. Limit yourself to designers’ suggestions
Although designers have extensive experience and expertise in interior design, they are not lighting engineers. As a result, some design projects look great during the day but lose their original charm under artificial lighting. Therefore, when arranging lighting, you should not rely entirely on the designer's suggestions, but should choose an appropriate lighting solution based on your own actual situation and observations.

In short, lighting plays a vital role in decoration and cannot be ignored. I hope that through the introduction in this article, readers can avoid these common lighting mistakes and create a comfortable, warm and personalized home environment.
