The correct setup of a vacation homeit or a vacation home is far more than just a visual statement. It is the foundation for happy guests, maximum occupancy and long-term success. Whether for your own use, letting or selling - planning a well-thought-out concept at an early stage saves you a lot of effort later on and increases the value of the property.
An often underestimated but decisive factor: Light . Because only with a clever lighting concept can every furnishing its full effect. In this article, we'll show you how you can make your vacation home in a targeted way - and why Lighting is the key to atmosphere, functionality and success.
Why the right furnishings & lighting design for a vacation home is crucial
Imagine two identically cut vacation homes same size, same location - but a huge difference in the feel-good factor. While one looks sober, dark and random, the other radiates comfort, individuality and quality. What is the difference? In addition to furniture, colors and decoration, it is above all: the light .
Tip: Skillfully used s.luce lights - whether pendant, ceiling or wall lights - can structure your rooms, set accents and add dimension even to small rooms.
Furnishing starts with a concept
Before you store for furniture or choose wallpaper, ask yourself these questions:
Who is my target group? Couples, families, business travelers, dog owners?
How many people should there be room for?
What is the typical length of stay?
What is the aim: own use, pure rental, sale?
Your answers determine the style, function and furnishings - and also the lighting concept. Families need bright, safe light in the children's room, while couples opt for romantic lighting accents in the bedroom.
Recommendation: Combine functional ceiling lights with dimmable wall lights like the s.luce Ring Wallto create different lighting moods depending on the time of day.
Style & Atmosphere: light as a design factor
Whether Scandinavian, maritime, modern or rustic - your interior tells a story. But without the right lighting, it remains pale. Colors, textures and materials only look harmonious when the light right.
Examples:
Scandinavian style : Light wood, clear lines - complemented by warm white light from pendant luminaires such as the s.luce Crutch for naturalness.
Country house style Rustic lights with matt glass and an antique finish create charming accents.
Modern loft : Textured concrete walls, dark tones - here LED tracks or the s.luce Stage Spots in black are particularly effective.
Tip: Light can combine styles. Minimalist furnishings can be enhanced with a statement light like thes.luce Cloud in the dining area - without appearing overloaded.
Color scheme & Light: a symbiosis
The smaller a room, the brighter it should be designed - both visually and in terms of lighting. While wall colors provide spatial structure, light has an enormous influence on their effect.
Example:
A soft beige looks fresh in neutral white light and cozy in warm white light.
An anthracite-colored wall needs directional light or indirect lighting (e.g. s.luce Edge wall profile) to avoid appearing gloomy.
Avoid equipping dark rooms with only central ceiling light. Layer the light:
Basic lighting - e.g. LED downlights or ceiling lights.
Zone light - e.g. reading lamps, wall lights.
Accent light - e.g. LED strips behind the headboard or under the kitchen cupboard.
