A functional lighting system was created for a new detached house in Kaitamäki, Espoo, with attention paid to the versatility and adaptability of the lighting. Solutions were found for the challenging lighting locations in the house, such as the shallow garage, the hobby room and the staircase. Take a look at the lighting solutions for different spaces in the home here, and ask LedStore for more information about products and installation services.
Functional lighting in the kitchen
In a functional kitchen, lighting plays a key role in creating both practicality and atmosphere. Recessed LED spotlights in the ceiling provide bright, even general lighting that helps you see your work surfaces clearly. When working with machinery and tools in the kitchen, even and adequate lighting improves safety. High-quality lighting with a high colour rendering index (CRI >90) brings out the true colours of raw materials and helps to judge their freshness.
The pendant lights above the dining table create a cosy atmosphere and focus the light beautifully on the table. Lighting that matches the decor makes the kitchen pleasant and inviting.
Dimming features allow you to adjust the light according to the situation: brighter for everyday life and softer for the evening. In addition, grouping of lighting, for example with separate dimmers for spotlights and pendant lights, greatly increases user comfort. With their own controls, only the lights you want on at a particular time can be selected. A well-designed lighting package also saves energy by using light efficiently. The modern and minimalist design of the LED lights brings out the shapes and tones of the object well. The result is a kitchen that works seamlessly for cooking and socialising.
The second title
Functional lighting in the living room creates practicality and atmosphere. Indirect LED strip lighting placed on a light shelf around the ceiling directs the light towards the ceiling, creating an elegant and luxurious look. Such lighting adds visual height and emphasises the freshness of the space.
A downward-facing LED strip in front of the windows, meanwhile, softly reflects light through the walls and curtains, adding warmth and depth to the space. This indirect lighting contributes to a calm and inviting atmosphere, especially in the evenings. The linear and glare-free light of the LED strip lighting is ideal for relaxing and sharing moments in the living room. LedStore's lights are effortlessly dimmable and colour temperature adjustable, so you can adjust the tone and intensity of the lighting to suit your mood.
Another important element is the handsome pendant lights in the living room, which act as both light sources and decorative eye-catchers. They add a touch of luxury and personality to the space, complementing the visual impact of the rest of the lighting. The pendant lights accentuate the coffee table and the group of sofas by creating a focal point in the space.
The grouping of lighting allows you to use different light sources depending on the situation - sometimes you need soft lighting for the whole space, sometimes you need more focused lighting. This way, the lighting supports the versatility of the space and gives you the freedom to create exactly the atmosphere you want. Properly implemented, living room lighting not only makes the space more functional, it also makes it a visually impressive and pleasant place to live.
Well-designed bathroom lighting
In a functional bathroom, lighting supports both daily routines and relaxation. Round flush-mounted light panels provide even, high-quality general lighting throughout the space. They distribute light efficiently without glare and improve visibility during make-up or cleaning, for example. LED strip lights in the shampoo recesses adjacent to the bathtub create an atmospheric and relaxing ambience. The light highlights the shapes of the recesses and gives a luxurious touch to your bath.
The waterproof flush-mounted spots in the shower area provide bright, high-quality light that can withstand damp conditions without any safety risks. Adequate target lighting facilitates precision work. All lights are dimmable, allowing you to adjust the intensity of the lighting to suit your mood and situation. Colour temperature control adds further versatility to the lighting: cooler light for a refreshing morning and warmer light for an evening calm. The indirect light from the Led strips softens the look of this space and makes it visually inviting. Properly designed bathroom lighting adds a little touch of spa to everyday life and makes the space functionally top-notch.
Bedroom indirect LED strip and spotlighting
In the adult bedroom, lighting plays an important role in creating a mood and a relaxing atmosphere. Indirect LED strip lighting around the walls gently directs the light downwards, just like in the living room. This lighting style brings a sense of calm harmony to the room. The indirect light is not dazzling, but gives the room a warm and balanced light distribution. Pendant lamps with spherical domes mounted above the bedside tables provide focused light for reading, for example. The design language of these lights complements the bedroom decor.
All lighting elements are dimmable, so you can adjust the amount of light to suit the mood you want to create or the active light you want. Adjustable colour temperature gives you extra freedom: cool light helps you wake up, while warm light calms you down in the evening. Lighting grouping allows flexible use of lights - you can turn on only the lights on the bedside tables or just the indirect lights. A well-designed lighting scheme supports the main purpose of the bedroom: rest and relaxation.
Children's room lighting to set the mood for a more relaxed atmosphere
In a teenager's room, rgb-led strips add personality and allow the light to be adjusted to suit, for example, their favourite music. The lighting is the perfect complement to the basic ambient light in the room, bringing a nuanced mood through colour. Permanently installed, the high quality LED strip lighting is finished and stylish with a long lifespan. The brightness and colour temperature of the light are adjustable, so the light is never too bright for the eyes. The dimming function makes it an adaptable part of your evening routine. The lighting can be easily controlled with a remote control, mobile device or wall switch, for example.
The lighting in the nursery is given a playful and creative twist with the introduction of rgb-led strip lighting. Led strips provide a colourful and varied ambience, perfect for both a cheerful play corner and soothing evening lighting. The colour scheme can be changed on the fly: blue is calming, red is energising and green brings a sense of nature. The strip lighting wraps around the walls in a groove made for the light at the ceiling line. It provides soft indirect light without glare. Thoughtful rgb-led strip lighting makes the children's room a multifunctional space where children and parents alike can enjoy themselves.
Staircase lighting as part of the home
The lighting of the staircase was elegantly implemented with LED strip lighting mounted on the underside of the handrail. The light is directed to the stair treads where it is most needed. This indirect lighting method prevents glare and helps to visualise the steps. The flat line of light from the LED strip creates a uniform and calm look to the staircase. The lighting also acts as a mood creator, making the staircase part of the interior design of the home. Thanks to wireless dimming, the light intensity can be adjusted to suit both upstairs and downstairs. The light source is unobtrusive, but its impact on the functionality and aesthetics of the space is significant. The LED strip emphasises the linear nature of the staircase. The staircase successfully combines safe passage and visual elegance.
Recessed LED strip as a low-ceiling saviour
In low-ceilinged spaces, the right lighting is particularly important for the functionality and comfort of the space. In the hobby room, ceiling-mounted LED strip lighting in a recessed profile provides a uniform and bright light. The LED profile provides a neat and visually elegant way to shape the lighting. The light output is well suited to precision hobbies such as crafting or building miniature models. The dimming function allows you to adjust the light according to your needs and the situation.
In a garage, a similar solution ensures good visibility for maintenance or storage, for example. The installation of the LED strip on the ceiling allows unobstructed use of the space without elements hanging from the ceiling. The ability to focus the light exactly where you want it and the uniformity of the light beam improve ergonomics. Led technology also ensures a durable and long-lasting solution for daily use. Flush-mounted LED profiles turn low-ceilinged spaces into functional and visually controlled work and leisure areas.
