Sometimes a small detail is all it takes to change the aesthetics of an entire room...

A clever way to enhance your ambiance and transform your home into a sophisticated, glamorous or perhaps contemporary space could pass by adding a new lamp. Or several... the options are limitless!

A lamp is an indispensable element in interior design, it increases, defines, hides or highlights spaces, forms and textures... suggests feelings, moods or both.

However, choosing the right lamp and create the perfect ambiance its not as straight forward as one may think... it has its secrets.

It´ all about light, and is therefore important to consider factors such as where, why and what.

Where you want to place the lamp and why, what is its usefulness and purpose, what type of lighting is suitable, and what design is appropriate.

And of course, the color (hue) of the lamp also influences the comfort.

Important tip: Fluorescent lighting can be produced in yellow, blue or neutral tones, each meant for a specific place and function.

Yellow-white light is suitable for bedrooms and living rooms, refer to comfort and warmth and transmit tranquility, the blue-white light is suitable for bathrooms and kitchens, transmits a feeling of cleanliness and freshness, whereas the white-neutral light brightens ambiances without interfering with the activities on site.
