LED lighting in an apartment is indispensable if you want to create a modern, beautiful and bright environment in the interior or, on the contrary, a soothing twilight of the desired color for a certain mood. Such light can be so multifaceted that almost no interior created today can do without it. Therefore, creators of spectacular, stylish designs use such lighting everywhere and in a variety of places in the same room.

Today we will look at original and spectacular examples of how LED lighting is used in the interior and what it is like.

LED lighting in an apartment: what is it like?

The lighting market is huge, but even if we limit ourselves to just LED lighting, the variety here is great. All such light sources can be divided into types: by type of design, which determines the place of application and purpose.

And in order to choose the right LED lighting, you must first become familiar with these types.

Type of design and place of application

The source that is used in ceilings and any oblong places is usually an LED strip. The structure of which is extremely simple - a strip and LEDs soldered into it. Its types and glow strength may be different depending on the number and size of LEDs. The more there are, the brighter the light and, of course, the higher the price.

In addition to all this, the color of the light is also important; there are single-color LED strips that emit only one color: red, blue, green, etc. And there are also RGB strips that can emit a wider range of colors due to the presence of diodes of different colors. This tape is equipped with a special controller that allows you to mix colors. You can also set rhythmic blinking, which is not only convenient, but also allows you to create a fun, interactive environment in the interior - which will be very useful during the holidays.

LED strip can be used in different places in the apartment and even in the bathroom. Only these are special types that have additional protection - each LED is sealed and there is a control protective film on the entire strip. Due to this degree of protection, the tapes are used to create lighting in swimming pools, Jacuzzis and regular baths.

By purpose

LED lighting in an apartment can also play the role of main lighting, which is quite common. After all, such light is not only beautiful, but also consumes much less energy.

Special ceiling lamps with LEDs can be used as the main light. These are all the same spotlights, spots and, of course, modern LED chandeliers. In general, LEDs are used in all types of lamps - table lamps, floor lamps, wall sconces and even night lights.

Where is LED lighting used in an apartment?

Designers widely use such beautiful and invisible light to decorate interiors in different colors. It allows you to bring even the most complex ideas to life by using various techniques - for example, “light from nowhere” creates the effect of cluttered windows. There are other design ways to use LED lighting, which is why it can sometimes be found even in the most unexpected places.

The living room is a place where there should be bright colors and at the same time tranquility. After all, this is a room for receiving guests and family recreation. The ideal option for ceiling lighting is an RGB strip with a controller.

In addition to ceiling lighting, LEDs can also be built into niches on the wall, under wall panels or paintings; in the latter cases, you get the illusion of an object floating on the wall. Cabinet furniture illuminated from below looks great: cabinets, cabinets, shelves, etc. Upholstered furniture illuminated with LEDs looks no less beautiful and magical.

A continuous straight line looks amazing, moving from one plane to another, from one part of the room to another - creating a magnificent modernist effect with the impression of a fantastic future. The same technique can be implemented in a decorative elongated horizontal niche if an LED strip is built into its upper or lower parts.

Why not make a “floating” podium in a spacious living room; this technique also perfectly helps create a zoning effect - for example, in this beautiful way you can separate the kitchen from the living room in a studio apartment.

In addition, LED lighting in the living room can be used in a non-standard way. An object (niche, column with a niche, etc.) decorated with wallpaper made of natural stone and behind which LED lighting will be built-in will look unexpected. Since such wallpapers are made mainly from sandstone, they transmit light well. In this way, you can create a wonderful lighting decor that can easily surprise your visiting guests.

LEDs today are not only built into furniture, they are mounted in handrails and steps of stairs, in interior doors, floor skirting boards and even in flower pots, which is also very unexpected and beautiful.

LED lighting in the bedroom and nursery

All the same techniques can be used in the bedroom as in the living room. But especially relevant, including in children’s rooms, is LED lighting for the starry sky. Who doesn't like watching the stars before bed? Moreover, today, in combination with stretch ceilings, in addition to stars, they can depict the Milky Way, a comet, and, perhaps most surprisingly, they can be dynamic. Not only children, but also adults will be delighted with this.

A more discreet decor, if this can be said about LED lighting, of course, is the lighting of a niche at the head of the bed in the bedroom and actually under the bed itself, creating a floating effect.

To decorate this room with light, it is best to choose soothing lighting, this will ensure quick relaxation and good sleep.

LED lighting in the kitchen

Kitchen lighting is another favorite place for designer imagination to run wild. They strive to make it not only convenient, but also very beautiful, sometimes combining both in one detail, which is what LED lighting in this room can actually become.

It will provide not only bright colors to the kitchen, but also with its help you can easily arrange additional light. The lower part of the upper cabinets usually needs it, since the ceiling light is almost always not enough to illuminate the workspace of the set. The adhesive LED strip is easily mounted under them; it will provide enough light, while it itself will be practically invisible.

In addition, LED strips are also built into glass wall panels. When it is turned on, it seems that the panel itself is glowing - as a result, it is both light and beautiful.
