Multilevel illumination (Part 1)
It looks like the recent hobby for minimalism has become very popular. Now we choose cozy, “home”, even Eastern interiors. Sociologists name it “aspiration to hide in a cocoon”, and designers help to create such conditions in which it would be desirable to come back again and again with the house. And the unusual and at the same time carefully thought over illumination is one of the most important elements in cozy apartment.
Multilevel illumination has come to us together with a fashion for multilevel ceilings and has been named “light revolution”. Our eyes need rest and good illumination at the same time.┬а
In the beginning floor fixtures, a sconce, floor lamps were used at night and coffee tables. But the imagination of designers has gone too far. In general there should be some zones in the apartment. And each zone should have different purpose, different height of ceilings and, certainly, the illumination.
The diversified and bright light decisions are pertinent in sitting room. An interesting course relies in creation of several islands of light. Near to sofas and armchairs it is possible to arrange floor lamps, a sconce, floor fixtures with the lamp shades, giving a diffused light. Architectural and decorative elements - columns, arches, the niches, the open bricklaying - look effectively if to illuminate them with dot floor fixtures.
