Modern lighting in the interior of the apartment comes in several types, which are combined into multi-level lighting. Let's consider the main types of lighting fixtures and ways of placing them.

Basic lighting in the room

Basic light sources are chandeliers or ceiling spotlights, spots, which cover the entire room with diffused rays. The chandelier is often placed in the center of the ceiling, as it serves as the main source of light in the room. Chandeliers differ in shape, construction, design. Spot LED lights are located around the perimeter of the room. In a small room, spots can be the main source of light. In a spacious room, they are combined with a chandelier.

Directional lighting

These are luminaires that are directed to specific areas of the room or objects. Wall sconces or spots are placed over a desk, over a sofa, armchair or over a bed in a bedroom. There are models that can be rotated. They have a practical task - to increase the illumination of the place for studying, reading or needlework.

They accentuate the decorations in the room, and are often a work of art themselves. These can be Edison lamps on a long wire in the loft style, vintage sconces or floor lamps with a shaped wrought iron stand.
