[Introduction] Lighting refers to achieving an optimal lighting effect in the home by adjusting the sizes of windows and doors and modifying building structures. Buildings with good lighting have many advantages, such as conserving energy, creating a pleasant atmosphere, and facilitating a more functional interior layout.
1. Open Layout
Open layouts are commonly seen in living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, and study areas. Removing non-load-bearing walls in these spaces allows light to travel freely, significantly enhancing both lighting and ventilation！
Island counters or bars can serve as partitions between kitchens and dining rooms. Different flooring materials, such as wood for the living room and tiles for the balcony, as well as distinct wall colors or rugs, can define spaces within an open area. Ultra-narrow sliding doors in the kitchen are also a great option.
In long hallways or deep corridors, mirrors can be used to visually enlarge the space and reflect light, providing additional natural light.
2. Scientific Planning of Movement Routes
Many homeowners focus only on aesthetics and intricate layouts, often neglecting practical movement routes, which can lead to inefficient lighting.
By strategically placing workspace like desks in well-lit areas and storage in lower-lit zones with supplemental lighting, the home layout can better facilitate day-to-day movement. Reasonable allocation facilitates daily use by coherent and convenient movement routes and helps address lighting issues in under-lit areas.
3. Transparent Partitions
In recent years, half-wall glass partitions windows and floor-to-ceiling glass doors have become quite popular and been used in master bedroom closet, bathroom, entrance hall, living room and dining room.
If you want to add a bit of enjoyment, you can choose a half-wall glass partition window with a creative design. In particularly low-light areas, you might remove half-walls to enlarge doorways and install floor-to-ceiling windows or doors to boost natural light.
4. Windows&doors Area
The lighting effect in a home is closely related to factors like building distance, ceiling height, orientation, and the size of windows & doors.
Sunlight enters primarily through windows & doors, so rooms with windows&doors can enjoy natural light. If windows&doors areas are too small, natural light will be insufficient; if too large, indoor temperature, humidity, insulation, and energy efficiency may be affected.
Therefore, windows and doors should be appropriately sized. Larger windows&doors work well in open spaces like living rooms to ensure even light distribution, while bedrooms benefit from a more relaxing space with moderately sized windows.
