(Guest Writer: Tifanni Ong, Illuminating Asia)

When it comes to installing lighting fixtures inside your home, don't use the same kind of lighting throughout the entire area. Different parts of your home need different styles of illumination, so here's what you need to know about lighting up specific spaces in your home. 

1. Cove Lighting

If you love gentler hues lights and spacious-looking rooms, cove lighting will be the best choice for your home! It is the type of light that is built in the ceiling and reflects its lights indirectly to the whole room.

Cove lighting is generally used in the centre of the living room, lounge room, hosting room, and bedroom where less light is required. It does not give off strong luminance, is less bright, and has less intensity which makes it comfortable for the eyes.

One of the leading cove lightings from the LED HAGA profile series can be easily mounted on the ceiling without building a false ceiling. It is an instant cove lighting that reduces costs, time, and unnecessary pollution or dust.

It provides the best solution for those who love minimalism, efficiency as well as contemporary aesthetics that fits perfectly with every single mood of the room.

The most classic and ideal lighting for all types of buildings, may it be your home, home office, commercial office, or real estate building use.

It is known widely as a lighting fixture that hangs down from the ceiling with a metal cord or chain. Pendant lighting comes in various shapes and sizes. There are stand-alone sculptural pieces like chandeliers and multi-downlights that are hung together.

It is meant to be the centrepiece of attention in any given space. Choosing pendant lights can be fun as different designs will give off a different mood and aesthetics to the ambience.

Appropriate lighting design expresses your character and adds personal uniqueness to your home. It also improves the standard of living to cater to your individual needs and evoke your emotional aspects to the space.

Ambience and functionality; that's when the architecture of the lighting itself combines with different levels of luminosity through dimmable functions. Imagine getting to control the ambience through lighting, it is such an incredible in-house experience!
