Well thought-out lighting design in a new build is essential to avoid being left in the dark later on. The right lighting not only provides sufficient light, but also contributes to a feel-good atmosphere and functional design. Suitable luminaires must be installed to ensure pleasant lighting at all times of the day. Building owners should therefore decide at an early stage where and what lighting is needed in the individual rooms.
Early planning is crucial to ensure an optimal lighting design. Precautions for lighting should already be taken during the shell construction phase, for example by integrating cables and empty conduits for later installations. The floor plan helps to identify the lighting requirements of each room and to plan accordingly. It is important that both ambient lighting and accent lighting are taken into account. While ambient lighting provides brightness across the entire area, accent lighting can highlight certain areas.
The lighting must be adapted to the different room functions. In the study, for example, bluish light is an advantage, while warm light creates a relaxed atmosphere in bedrooms. Functional and atmospheric lighting concepts should also be considered in special areas such as the kitchen, bathroom or hallway. Well-planned lighting not only increases comfort, but also contributes to safety, both inside and outside the home.
