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 the s.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:

1. Basic lighting - e.g. LED downlights or ceiling lights.
   
   

2. Zone light - e.g. reading lamps, wall lights.
   
   

3. Accent light - e.g. LED strips behind the headboard or under the kitchen cupboard.

Living room: centerpiece for socializing & Relaxation

The living room is the central meeting point - this is where you decide whether your guests feel welcome. You can achieve this with:

• a large, comfortable sofa,

• soft textiles (rugs, cushions),

• multi-level lighting .

Recommended products:

• s.luce Pendant luminaires above the coffee table - discreet, stylish, dimmable.

• s.luce Floor lamps for reading corners with individual light.

• Wall or shelf luminaires with warm white light for an indirect atmosphere.

Bedroom: a retreat with light for dreaming

Comfort is king here. In addition to high-quality mattresses, the right lighting concept is crucial:

• Bedside lamps with touch dimmer or USB connection,

• indirect light at the head of the bed or behind curtains,

• reading lights with directional optics.

Recommendation: The s.luce Touch LED wall reading light with gooseneck combines design and functionality - perfect for modern vacation homes.

Kitchen & Dining area: function meets design

A modern dining area needs more than just a table - it needs light that looks appetizing but is also functional.

Our tips:

• Pendant lights above the table - e.g. the s.luce beamin a row.

• Under-cabinet lights in the kitchen for safe working.

• Dimmable light sources to switch between breakfast light and dinner mood.

Bathroom & WC: Small but powerful

The bathroom needs bright, shadow-free light - ideally combined with accent lighting for spa moments.

Solutions:

• Mirror lights with neutral white light for a clear view.

• Recessed spotlights with IP protection class for safety.

• Accent spot such as LED strips behind mirrors or shower walls.
