HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT CEILING LIGHT FOR YOUR HOME?


Tips and instructions by Tomas N., 16.9.2020

A ceiling light has many functions and uses in a room and in a home. Naturally, it illuminates the space and provides light, but it is also always an interior design element and often a space filler, an eye-catcher. With the right ceiling light, you can crown a space or make it, for example, feel too small or too big. There are several things to consider when choosing a lamp. Here are our top tips and tricks to help you choose just the right light for your space.

Ceiling light size

The size and shape of a ceiling light determines a lot about the interior design and lighting of a space and home. A large light fitting often has several slots for lamps, while a small one can only fit one. Lighting a large space requires a lot of power and perhaps many lamps. Thus, a large ceiling light or several small lamps are usually suitable to fill a larger space and light it up effectively. This way, the space does not look empty and the lighting is adequate. For example, Showroom Finland's Pilke 80 or Ristikko 95 are ceiling lights suitable also for larger spaces, filling the space beautifully and creating playful shadows when switched on. A small but powerful light fitting adds a sense of space, and with the right choice, you can make it an effective lighting fixture for your space. A light with or without a shade can be the saviour of a small space.

Ceiling light material

The material of a ceiling light determines a lot about the light and shadows of the lamp. The material is often wood or plywood, which do not let the light through. Thus, these wooden lamps create playful shadows in the space as light passes through the slits. Lamps made of plastic or ceramic are often more targeted and bring the light straight down. A good example is JP studiokeramiikka’s light fittings. They are perfect if you want the eye to focus on something in your interior or just light up the dining table, for example. The opposite solution is glass and some plastic lamps that let light through and light up the whole space. When it comes to the material, it's also good to consider how ecological and sustainable it is. Wood is renewable, and nowadays you can also find light fittings made of cardboard.

More ceiling lights instead of one?

Ceiling lights are also an opportunity to go for a little testing. Why have one big light in a larger space when you could handle the lighting and decorating with several small ones? With small light fittings, perhaps of the same design but in different colours, you can create a unique ensemble that is just right for your space. For example, Quu Design has already thought of stunning ensembles in their ceiling lights. Try other combinations as well!

Light source for ceiling light

The light source, or bulb, also determines much of the lighting in a ceiling light. Appropriate power, hue and colour rendering are important. You can control the brightness of the light and the room atmosphere by choosing the right bulb. If you find it difficult to choose a bulb, ask a professional for advice.

Choosing the right ceiling light? 

Every home and space where a ceiling light is placed are always unique. Some need a large and efficient light fitting and others need a little atmosphere enhancer. Hence, when choosing a light fitting, consider whether the space needs a complementary light or seemingly extra space and a few extra square metres. Once the lighting needs are known, it’s easier to proceed with the lighting selection. With materials, it’s worth to consider the other furniture and decor in the room to ensure that the material and colour of the light fitting matches the space. Think about your style and what you want to light up, and you’re well on your way to choosing the right ceiling light for yourself.
