Perfect home lighting - lamps & lights for your home.

Before you get started with your selection... Here are our 5 top tips for properly planned lamps.

• 1) In your home, focus on many different light sources. Light from the floor, from the wall, from the ceiling or on the table, indirect and direct, positioned where it is important, creates a lively mix and brings life.
• 2) Focus on dimmable luminaires! Especially in the bathroom and at the dining table, there is a different need in the morning (activating, cool) than in the evening (winding down, relaxation, very warm light).
• 3) Pay attention to glare-free lighting. In the living room or bedroom, direct, dazzling light can quickly become a distracting factor. Indirect ceiling lights or modern LED strips can provide a remedy here!
• 4) Set highlights! Representative lighting is particularly in demand at the dining table, in the stairwell or in the gallery. This is where light becomes a design interior. Wherever you save - you're saving in the wrong place!
• 4) And last but not least: Get professional advice! As part of a creative lighting design we make sure that your lamps & luminaires are guaranteed to be in the right place, the spacing is right and shadows only appear when they are wanted.
