Choosing the right form of lighting is essential to creating a cosy atmosphere in your home. But you need to consider more than just the actual lamp. The placement of the light, which type of light source and what function the room has must be taken into account when lighting up your home. We have gathered a number of lighting options for your inspiration.

Hallway

The hallway is the first thing that greets you when you enter a home. That is why it is important to have lamps that provide a pleasant light and a good first impression. What lighting you choose for your hallway depends on the size of the room, the natural light and how high the ceiling is. We are experts in functional and atmospheric hallway lighting, which is suitable for short, long, large and L-shaped hallways alike.

Small hallways

In a small hallway, you can often get away with just using a single lamp. This could be a ceiling lamp like SHADOW, which adds an extra visual dimension to the room with a design that cast light both up and down. Spots, such as ANGLE, are also ideal for small hallways because the light can be turned in different directions ensuring a perfectly lit room.

L-shaped hallways

The FACET wall lamp has a simple, functional and durable design that illuminates smaller nooks effectively. Use the wall lamp to complement a larger lamp centred in the room or spotlights, since wall lamps on their own may have a hard time lighting the entire room.

Large hallways

In large hallways you have room to use larger lamps making sure you get enough light. Use FOCUS LINE, a track light with an aesthetic expression, to provide ideal lighting around several areas of your hallway. Depending on the size of your room, you may need to add wall lamps or pendants in nooks and corners.

Long hallways

In a long hallway, a single lamp is typically not enough because you risk the far ends of your hallway not getting enough light. A good idea is to hang several lamps of the same model, such as SURFACE with a space-saving design, which is perfect for smaller rooms.

Create your own personal decor

If you are not into the classic single suspension lamp above the dining table or two lamps side by side, you can experiment with the beautiful DROP pendant lamp with a design that is both evocative but also designed with a hidden light source to prevent it from blinding you. Suspend a cluster of DROP’s at different heights above the table to create a beautiful light installation.

The dining room is the room in your home where everyone come together. It is important to choose a lamp that brings people together and creates a cosy vibe. A dining table lamp is essential because it brings together the decor and has a practical function. With one or more lamps suspended above the dining table, you can create your very own unique and personal expression.

Contemporary lighting

If you want an ultra-modern look in your dining room, try using the beautiful SPIRIT pendant lamp. The balance between tubular structures gives the SPIRIT collection a distinctive three-dimensional expression and provides plenty of light across the dining table.

Dining room

Kitchen

Lighting is very important for both the aesthetic feeling, the atmosphere and for cooking in the kitchen. We have gathered a few examples of lamps that are suitable for the kitchen – both in terms of style, the best light sources and which types of kitchen lighting you can choose from. A kitchen should have general lighting but also bright light for working as well as cosy mood lighting.

General lighting

The most common form of general lighting is a ceiling lamp or pendant lamp. This is what provides the central light source and illuminates the room. SLIM is an elegant, discreet and efficient light source, which illuminates the room effectively with a soft, warm and diffused light.

The correct work lighting

Lighting is essential when cooking in the kitchen. It needs to be bright and have the right tone in order for you to see every detail. Choose a pendant lamp like ZERO S, which offers a concentrated light on the tabletop while at the same time fitting discreetly into the decor.

Remember the cosy atmosphere

Mood lighting brings character and atmosphere to your kitchen and can often be combined with general lighting using a dimmer. Give your kitchen a contemporary atmosphere with STICK and its simple, sculpted shape that can be used both for ceilings and walls. The direction of the light can be adjusted, and the lamp creates a beautiful, diffuse light.

Choose the right colour temperature When it comes to choosing your kitchen lighting, it is important you know what colour temperature you want – this is crucial for both mood and function.

Practical lighting in the kitchen

If you need light for hands-on work, the best idea is to use a neutral white colour to get ideal work lighting.

Mood lighting in the kitchen

If you need light for more cosy moments, you are best off using a warm, white colour that feels homely and is easy on the eye.

A lamp for every situation

Your living room is the heart of the home and it needs to be able to work for various situations. That is why it is important for you to create the right atmosphere with living room lamps. The SPIRIT T1 table lamp has a ‘touchless switch & dimming’ function, which means it can be switched on and off or dimmed simply by waving your hand behind it. That way, you can adjust the light depending on the situation.

Create art with wall lamps

Wall lamps can be practical, functional and decorative, and depending on the expression you are looking for you can use one or several wall lamps as a sort of art installation. Wall lamps are especially good for living rooms that lack floor space or for use as wall decorations. Use the NOHO collection with lamps of varying sizes and colours that can be installed as a beautiful light sculpture.

Living room

The lighting in your living room has a huge impact on how you perceive the space, and you can easily change the atmosphere in your living room with appropriate lighting. A good idea is to use multiple lamps that can be turned on and off as needed and has the option of dimming. Combine functional reading lights and pleasant ambient lighting.

Find your perfect floor lamp

Give your living room a pleasant light, which is both cosy and practical with a beautiful floor lamp. The SPIRIT F1 floor lamp is the perfect living room lamp placed next to sofas or armchairs. SPIRIT F1 is designed in a characteristic, three-dimensional expression that will create a timeless look in any home.

Place bedside lamps on each side of the bed

Reading requires a relatively bright and concentrated light. The light should allow you to see well, but at the same time not light up the whole room. TULIP is ideal as an alternative bedside lamp that also gives your bedroom an exciting look. Extend and angle the lamp however you want to get the best possible lighting.

Bedroom

The bedroom can be one of the biggest challenges in terms of lighting for your home. The light needs to be simultaneously atmospheric and relaxing, while at the same time giving you the opportunity to use it for reading or getting dressed. We recommend a good, general light source that is not blinding. For the wardrobe, you will need to find a lamp that has a brighter light, and for the bedside you will need a clear and concentrated light.

Use spots by the wardrobe

For wardrobes and mirrors, it is a good idea to choose a light source that gives you a clear light with good colour reproduction. Here, you can choose to use integrated furniture lighting or spotlights. The VANTAGE spotlight can be angled 90º from its mount and can rotate almost 360º giving you maximum lighting flexibility compared to a traditional, fixed spotlight.

Decorative lighting

SOHO is an untraditional interpretation of the classic, round wall lamp. SOHO has five different sizes each installed with a small distance from the wall allowing you to make overlapping patterns. With reflective lighting and countless configurations, you can create a beautiful light installation that also illuminates the room appropriately.

Creative, indirect light

Since we typically start and end the day in front of the bathroom mirror, good lighting around the mirror is just as important as the general lighting. STICK is a sculptural lamp that can be installed above the mirror or next to it in a vertical position. The LED light source is mounted to the back of the aluminium rail, which is installed at a slight distance from the wall. This creates a sculptural, indirect light that is perfect for your bathroom.

Bathroom

A bathroom can be at least as cosy or well-lit as all the other rooms in your house. In the bathroom you need time for relaxation and the right bathroom lighting plays an important role here. It is a good idea to have several light sources that provide an even light throughout the room.

Look sharp with spots

Installing spotlights in the ceiling will give you a uniform light that illuminates the entire room. OPTIC OUT comes in two different sizes that can be easily combined. The spot provides a soft light, which works well as general lighting.

Before you start Remember to look for the IP certification

When deciding where to install light sources in your bathroom, it is important that you stick to the rules for installing lamps in a wet room. Often you cannot use any type of lighting for all places in the bathroom. The usage depends on the IP certification, which tells you how well a device can withstand things like dust or water.
