"The stairwell is often integrated into the entrance area or directly adjacent to it. When you come home yourself or receive guests, the entrance area is the first thing that is visible from your house. It is not for nothing that the entrance area and the staircase that is often connected to it are regarded as the calling card of the house. By beautifully designing the entrance area with selected furniture, tasteful decoration and high-quality accessories, you can ensure that you and your guests immediately feel at home. A well-thought-out and tailored lighting concept emphasizes the architecture of the house and complements your interior design."
What do you need to consider when lighting your entrance area?
On walkways such as corridors, stairs or passageways, safety through light is the top priority. The light should be bright enough to help you find your way and avoid tripping over obstacles. At the same time, the light should not be too bright so that you are not dazzled. A little more light is needed in the wardrobe area, just like in the dressing room. Sufficiently bright lighting allows you to better assess the color of your jackets, bags and shoes, making it easier to combine them.
Lighting design with LED strips
Aluminum profiles in various sizes, shapes and colors ensure that LED strips can be used in an incredibly versatile way. There are also numerous possible applications for LED strips in stairwells. LED strips can be used for more than just accent lighting. High-power LED strips in professional quality also provide bright room lighting.

Whether as direct or indirect lightinginstalled in the ceiling or wall or as a surface-mounted solution, almost anything is possible with the right aluminum profile. All you need is a socket outlet or a power outlet and a place where you can hide the corresponding transformer.
Modern step lighting with the latest LED technology
While LED strips can be used very multifunctionally as staircase lighting, for example as staircase or handrail lightingthere are other ways to illuminate the staircase. Particularly flat wall lights that take up very little space are very popular. But effect lights, which also conjure up beautiful lighting effects on the wall, are also a popular design option for staircase lighting.
Recessed wall luminaires are the perfect choice for illuminating steps in a targeted manner. Many of these recessed wall lights can be easily installed in a recessed box, some even without a transformer, such as the Box recessed light in white or brushed aluminum. Recessed wall luminaires for stairs are bright enough to avoid tripping over the steps, but not too bright so that they do not dazzle. This makes this type of staircase lighting particularly practical at night, e.g. when you want to get something to drink from the kitchen.
