in your interior design
But
The bad lighting effects will ruin the whole interior design style

▷Universal Studios Theme Hotel Beijing

“Light” is thus less building material and more an expression of emotion. It plays an important role in interior design, especially in residential and office spaces where people stay longer. It’s not just about picking a lamp, so you must understand light if you want to become a qualified designer! Today, let’s talk about interior lighting design!

▷ The importance of indoor lighting

01

What is lighting design?

Lighting design has a strong catalytic effect on creating interior themes, focus points, and atmosphere, strengthening the sense of layer of interior space design. Before starting the lighting design, you should first choose the type of lighting, then define a way of lighting.

1. Lighting type

There are three types of lighting: ambient light, contour light and focus light.

A. Ambient light: general lighting source with the largest lighting range, which can not see the direct light source and direction clearly, with soft lighting.

B. Contour light: mainly emphasizes the contour of the walls and ceiling, creates the feeling of layers of space, and adds to the interior’s beauty.

C. Focus light: relatively lighting small range, light focused, mainly used to create partial atmosphere.

2. Lighting mode

Lighting modes mainly include direct lighting, indirect lighting, diffuse lighting, effect lighting, focal lighting, wall washing.

A. Direct lighting

It should be careful and avoid too bright, which will make “hard” shadows and lead to visual fatigue. Also, notice avoiding placing it on surfaces prone to glare or reflection, such as mirrors or glass.

B. Indirect lighting

Indirect lighting is mainly reflected from one surface and then spreads throughout the environment.

C. Diffuse lighting

It will mainly be reflected off the ceiling and walls to achieve the desired effect, and the ambient lighting will be very even.

D. Effect lighting

The light source for effect lighting is usually built in the ceiling or architectural elements, such as the interior for finishing molding or the exterior for landscaping or facade effects.

E. Focal lighting

Focal lighting (spotlights) is a light source directly above a prominent object (such as a painting or sculpture). Commonly used in residential, commercial environments, museum Spaces. But be heedful about illuminance, because things will get hotter under direct light.

F. Wash Wall

Wash Wall is an ideal choice for highlighting the appearance and enhancing the building by using a series of lighting points in series or through led strips to produce a so-called “wash light” on the surface.

02
How to create an interior vibe with light?

For lighting design in the room, it is impossible to use only one way to create a room environment, instead using different techniques combined to meet the design needs.

There are no specific provisions for interior lighting creating know-how. To make it easy to understand, we will sum up the above 8 kinds of lighting into 3 categories: direct lighting, indirect lighting, deductive lighting.

1. Direct lighting

Direct lighting is the primary means of lighting in the space, which can serve as the basis, function, focus, decoration and other lighting, but
the form of lighting varied with the room and the requirements for use.

Workspace is mainly to improve work efficiency. In addition to considering its functions in hotel lighting design, it also considered creating a quiet and comfortable environment, and its brightness and illumination need to be reduced. In the hospital interior, more shadowless design and meet the needs of diagnosis and treatment.

In addition, direct lighting can also be considered decorative lighting, like soft film ceiling design, which is a way to combine basic lighting, lamp types, and decorative effect.

2. Indirect lighting

Indirect lighting is generally used as auxiliary lighting and decorative lighting, while in small spaces or spaces with low demand for brightness, indirect lighting can also be used as basic lighting.

A. Basic lighting

When used as basic lighting, the most common application scenarios are stair steps and handrails, but it is necessary to pay attention to the material of ground pavement to avoid dazzling light caused by the reflection of the light source.

B. Decorative lighting

Serve as adornment lighting, and it is mainly applied for special outline in a cabinet lighting and ceiling, metope outline. In addition, indirect lighting can also be combined with indoor or furniture decoration through the combination of backlighting and silhouette and other artistic techniques.

3. Deductive lighting

Unlike the practicality of direct lighting, deductive lighting mainly creates atmosphere, which can create a plot setting, dramatic, artistic, creative, and technological space scene.

The above is the most basic general knowledge about lighting design. As an interior designer, do you have these problems after reading it?

1. What are the principles of interior space lighting arrangement?
2. How to use scientific lighting parameters in indoor projects?
3. How to choose lamps and lanterns after rendering of lighting?
4. How to do lighting design in home decoration space?
5. What are the routines of lighting layout in commercial space?

These problems are the concern for every interior designer, but also a key directly determines whether use lighting in a good way in the interior space.

A huge part of perfecting your soft decor is finding a color scheme that fits perfectly. As a general rule, light colors will serve you well in this regard. Plenty of whites and cream colors should be used to take advantage of as much available light as possible.

Pastel colors are another tool at your disposal that can make all the difference. Think soft pinks, reds, blues, and anything else in between. The key here is to find colors that complement each other and bring out the vibrancy of your space.

Take the above post from interior designer Emily Henderson, for example. Notice how the pinks, whites, and purples in the room all complement and elevate each other. The pastel colors used in this room form part of a larger whole rather drawing too much attention individually.

One of the interior design ideas we love here is the use of a darker back panel behind the bed. This use of light and color works very well in our opinion.

Tip 2 – Find Artwork That Fits the Room

Once you’ve nailed down your chosen soft color scheme, it’s time to find artwork and prints that tie it all together. Spend some time researching artists online that fit within your current design.

The good news is that there’s a veritable slew of work out there that makes use of lighter, more pastel motifs. When it comes to softer decorating techniques, these artworks tend to be perfect.

If sourcing artwork yourself is proving to trickly, there’s no shame in relying on the experts. Our Chinese art factory has over a decade’s experience in sourcing and producing art that’s perfect for your interiors.

Tip 3 – Make Use of Your Space

Soft decoration and the interior design ideas that come with it all depend on light, bright motifs that make your rooms feel spacious and open. For this reason, it’s very important that you consider your available space closely and make use of every inch.

Natural light in particular is your best friend here. Avoid blocking your windows or light fixtures with unnecessary elements. The more natural and soft light you can have in your space, the better your chances of it all coming together perfectly.

As coffee shops gradually become an urban culture, almost every city has its own "Internet celebrity" coffee shops. Today, I would like to introduce 5 coffee shops called "Klein Blue". Blue symbolizes the sky and the sea, symbolizing no boundaries, and because "Klein Blue" is so pure, it is difficult to find a matching color to pop up in our vision. Therefore, it has a powerful impact. Take a look to get inspired!

IKB Coffee | Qingdao, Shangdong

The shop contains two floors, with Klein blue as the main color, gray, wood color and other auxiliary colors. The matching color is simple and fancy.

The number 0:47:167 on the glass in front of the bar is a detailed design, exactly Klein blue's RGB ratio.

The clear-line block relationship full of advanced and new ideas comes from the derivation of the building layout. Under the strong impact of the overall block segmentation and color contrast is the primary paving for flow entry.

The lines in the whole layout are clean and elegant. The high-level sense of Morandi grey matches the mysterious Klein blue for a cohesive look, giving the coffee shop a layer of personality label.

The whole vision of the brand revolves around the number 0:47:167 while strengthening the connotation of the brand system through interesting and diversified extension.

Gray wall, Klein blue spiral staircase, through light and shadow interwoven, very artistic.

With bright yellow wood and Klein blue, coping the blue and gold matching color of the middle ages in Western Europe, supplemented by a small area of white, echoing the space, the simple wall is made very artistic.

In addition to these one-of-a-kind interior designs, blue designer toys are hidden in every corner, making this shop full of fashion.

Whether applied in space design or fashion communication, Klein blue can bring us a different feeling. Maintaining the continuity of space tonal and oneness is the key in interior designs. The stress of modern life often makes the body be in a state of exhaustion. It is usually the best way to reduce pressure to keep the simplicity of the space.

Hotel interior design is an unfathomably large industry. The atmosphere, appearance, and furnishings of a hotel building can make or break a guest’s experience. Some of the most successful and luxurious locations worldwide rely on the work of experienced artists and designers.

These professionals put an immense amount of thought into the way a hotel will be perceived by those who visit it. Paintings for hotel rooms are created, elaborate lobbies are devised, and the intricate details of each room are prepared to perfection.

This post is written as an ode to hotel art everywhere. We’ll explore some of the most exciting locations and how they make their hotels really shine.

Le Meridien Chambers Minneapolis

This spectacular hotel in Minneapolis, US, is something of an art lover’s dream. It’s built to house some of the most contemporary and challenging art pieces from around the world.

A significant proportion of this building’s hotel art comes from the Young British Artist movement – a group of bleeding-edge modern artists who started exhibiting work together in the late 80s. Damien Hurst, Tracey Emin, and Sarah Lucas all fall within this loosely defined movement.

Visitors to the Le Meridien Chambers can expect nothing short of the highest levels of luxury. Every room is crafted to be relaxing, inviting, and uplifting. Hotel interior design like this can be hard to come by, but the Five Star Alliance group has excelled in this regard.

The Silo Cape Town Hotel

The Silo Cape Town Hotel was voted the best city hotel in Africa for 2020. To those who have had the privilege of visiting the establishment, this will come as no surprise. It’s located in the same building as the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art and is home to a world of color, art pieces, and breathtaking hotel interior design.

The hotel is built as “a celebration of art, style, architecture, and design.” Guests can enjoy a glamorous stay filled with art, style, and incredible experiences. Each room is individually designed by the esteemed curator Liz Biden.

One could stay in a different room each time they visit The Silo and encounter a totally different experience.

Le Royal Monceau

For lovers of art and interior design, nothing comes close to the beauty of Le Royal Monceau in Paris, France. The hotel is dedicated to housing incredible art both from the city itself and beyond. Its contemporary art gallery serves as a gateway to some of the most exciting works in the country.

Throughout the rest of the building, too, guests will quickly notice an accomplished hotel interior design. The stunning art deco building has been updated with more than its fair share of contemporary flair. If you have a taste for luxury and are in the city, we strongly recommend paying a visit to Le Royal.

Pub or bar owner? Looking for interior design tips to help create the perfect atmosphere? You’re in the right place. We’ve got a wealth of experience in building interiors that make a lasting impression.

On this page, we’ll run through some of the most common bar and pub styles that exist around the world. We’ll discuss how to find a style that works for your customers and how to decorate interior spaces the right way. Read on to find the perfect style for you.

Interior Design Tips for Bars – What to Consider

Before discussing specific interior design styles, it’s worth touching on what you’ll need to consider when designing your space. After all, the perfect style for one bar could be a nightmare for another.

It all comes down to your location, clientele, and overall budget.

Your Clientele

Who is most likely to be visiting your establishment? What kind of customer would you most like to attract? Do these demographics actually exist in your area? Your answers to these questions will help you choose the right style for your building.

Remember to be realistic here; the best approach will cater to people who are actually likely to visit your building.

Your Area

If the area surrounding your bar is full to the brim with a certain type of establishment, you could try to fit in, or you could work hard to find your niche. This is a delicate balance. You want to stand out while staying appealing to the right type of buyer.

Your Budget

If you’re looking for interior design help online, you’ve probably got some ideas that you’re super excited about. This is great, but it’s important to temper your expectations. Implementing a good design that contains some compromises will usually be a better approach than an outlandish setup that destroys your budget.

Take stock of your available funds and plan accordingly.

The British Public House Style

Warm, welcoming interiors with atmospheric lighting – a classic British pub remains a firm favorite of patrons around the world. For this style, you’ll want rich woods, subdued lighting and well-partitioned seating areas.

Victorian Influence

British pubs owe a huge part of their heritage to Victorian sensibilities and attitudes towards interior design. This includes plenty of comfortable seating areas that allow for privacy.

Think about how you can partition your space with strong wooden accents, victorian-style paintings, and inviting banquettes.

Cozy, Warm, Welcoming

Above all else, a well-designed pub should feel cozy and inviting. Look for warm, rich colors when sourcing your paintings and other elements. It’s all about creating an environment where conversations flow freely.

The ‘European’ Cosmopolitan Style

A modern, cosmopolitan bar is really quite something. From Beijing to Brooklyn, this striking design philosophy is popular around the world.

Modern Interiors

Bright, open spaces are perfect for a modern bar. Aim for a light, neutral color palette that energizes and excites. If featuring paintings in your chic drinkery, aim for modern or postmodern pieces that spark new conversations.

Cocktail Central

A cosmopolitan paradise is nothing without its cocktail menu. Your interior design should accentuate the wide variety of different drinks you have available. In a British pub, the emphasis is on beer taps and the available drinks they serve.

In a modern bar, clever tricks like uplighting and shelf framing are used to highlight the spirits and cocktails on offer.

The American Retro Speakeasy

Last, but certainly not least, is the American retro speakeasy style. In many ways, this approach represents a ‘best of both worlds’ scenario that combines the warmth of a British pub with the style of a modern bar.

Warm Woods and Quirky Stylings

This is another one of those interior design styles that makes great use of warm, welcoming woods and colors. If choosing art for this kind of space, look for something ‘quirky’ and ‘off-the-wall.’

Bar Stools and Drinks Galore

A well-built bar stool is an icon of most American bars. Look for vintage, sturdy stools wherever possible. As with the bar design described above, you should aim to highlight the variety of drinks you have available to your customers.

Although often relegated to an afterthought when styling a new space, wall art decor is certainly linked aesthetically and emotionally with designers and homeowners. Be the art an expensive masterpiece or simple affordable art, and it has been the case especially recently. Interior designers who create the details of the home have a few tips they use to define their spaces. They are:

Unique style

When choosing to decorate your walls, you can choose to transform your space with instant vibrancy, dimension, and color by adding art. For example, larger pieces can create scale and proportion and thus create feelings of grandiosity to the buyer. It is what a unique style of art will be of use.

Different styles

Adding different art and media interior design styles, including prints, paintings, and posters from auction houses, can be a welcome addition. Consider the type of work you are hanging and decide if they need to alone or with a group of different art pieces. Smaller artworks can be hanged on together in groups. For example, they can be situated closer to staircases or above sofas. Different styles of art can be applied to create a finished look around cushions and furniture. If you have limited space, you can use creative ways to hang your art in rooms.

A house is not complete without at least one piece of modern artwork. Modern art adds a unique sense of beauty and flair to a living space, giving it character and personality. Whether you choose to add a sculpture, painting, abstract art, drawing, collage, digital art/collage, photography, or installation art- there's plenty of it out there for you to choose. And here's the best part, you don't need to be a modern art enthusiast to find contemporary artwork that you'll fall in love with.

Modern art: What you need to know

The terms modern art and contemporary art, though not particularly the same, are often used interchangeably. Modern art refers to artwork from more recent times. There are numerous types of this kind of art, as mentioned above. Specific examples of these include contemporary oil paintings and acrylic paintings.

Before you start shopping for modern art decor, there are a few things you need to know about modern artwork itself. The modern art piece is often produced by artists using very unconventional methods of expression, which may include abstract images that represent emotions and concepts instead of real-life references. It can be groundbreaking and shocking.

Many modern works of art consist of geometric shapes and primary colors that may have little or no connection to real life.

Modern art is often viewed as controversial because of its characteristics, which may include shocking imagery- it can be so abstract that it's hard to decipher the subject matter. It can also be refreshingly simple and visually stimulating.

Contemporary art is not limited to any single style or fashion of creation; that's why it can appeal to people from various backgrounds with different tastes and interests.

It's up to you to decide what kind of modern artwork you want to add to your house. There's no need to be a modern art connoisseur to find contemporary art deco that will fit your overall home design.

Modern art for your home?

Yes, it would help if you incorporated modern art into your interior décor, and here's why. It will breathe new life into your home, plus there's no better conversation starter than a striking piece of art.

You can have modern art in any room of your house, even outside in your backyard. A popular favorite with new art buyers is abstract art.

Abstract modern art uses elements of design that can be interpreted by the viewer but may not make sense at first glance. It often takes time to understand what the artist meant to convey in his artwork. A contemporary abstract art piece creates visual interest and conveys the modernist styles with their unconventional blend of colors and shapes. It also adds just the right amount of drama to make a room come to life. Sometimes, it's strikingly simple.

How to incorporate modern art into your home design:

Come up with your own rules

Consider your style and be aware that there are no hard and fast rules on integrating modern art decor into your space. Experiment with shapes, sizes, and colors. As long as it coordinates in a way that is appealing to you, modern art can be a great addition to your modern home interior design.
Give your art piece a companion.

Consider pairing your art pieces. Ever heard of the saying 'Everything looks better in twos.' That saying is certainly true when it comes to displaying modern wall art and sculptures. There are various ways you could show your modern art pieces. You could place them side by side, stack them on top of each other or place another completely different visually interesting art piece or furniture in between them-make it interesting.

Use complementary colors and shapes.

Keep your house looking sleek and modern by sticking to colors and shapes that already exist within your space. You could choose a modern abstract painting that matches your furniture or your wall color, for example. Find a balance in your use of colors and shapes to avoid being too matchy-matchy.

Consider size and scale.

Modern art pieces will always make a beautiful statement in a house, whether abstract art, sculpture, or wall art. However, it is important to consider the size of the art piece and the area in which it will be displayed so that the art pieces do not overtake or underwhelm the space.

Surround with different mediums

Be bold. Display different types of art together in one area of your house. You could display your acrylic painting next to your abstract painting or photographs and then place your sculptures beside them-go crazy with it. Get creative. Doing this will add a funky layer of modern eccentricity to your interior design. Don't be afraid to mix modern art styles. There truly are no rules when it comes to contemporary art.

Always display your art pieces at eye level.

Display your art pieces, e.g., your acrylic painting, in such a way that the viewer's eye does not travel above or below the modern art piece. Try to create a highlight focal point and allow contemporary artwork to "stand out" in your house.

Try an unconventional location.

Modern art is meant to be unconventional, so why not be bold and add more fun touches to the room? Instead of the traditional areas to display your art, place your sculpture in the bathroom, for example-somewhere unexpected. Make use of the playful and surprising element in your modern house design.

Where to find modern art pieces or paintings

It's more accessible than you think. You don't always need to go to an art gallery or curator to find an art piece that resonates with you. There are several websites, such as SOA Arts, to explore modern art paintings worth investing in.

As you are planning the interior design of your home, don't forget to consider adding modern art wall decor. Not enough people are taking advantage of the opportunity to live and be surrounded by aesthetically pleasing imagery. Transform your house today with a striking piece of modern art.
