"The right lighting concept for your walk-in closet is one of the most interesting and difficult challenges. Who doesn't waste precious time every morning searching for that unreachable shirt or pair of jeans lost in the darkness and clutter of the closet?"

The dressing room


Probably the most important room for a woman is the dressing room. It should be perfectly staged and, of course, properly illuminated. Because the dressing room is the heart of every woman's home. This is where valuable accessories are placed in the spotlight and all outfits are stored.


For this reason, you should definitely pay attention to the lighting options here. To ensure that you wear the right clothes and choose the right shades, it is important that the light sources of the walk-in closet, the type of lamp, its position and temperature are planned correctly.


The use of LED strips in the dressing room


One way to create an optimal illumination in the dressing room is the use of LED lighting in wardrobes or shelves. These create additional highlights and make it easier to pick out items of clothing and accessories.


The use of indirect lighting such as through a light strip  on the ceiling, for example, can create a pleasant atmosphere in the room and make dressing a pleasant experience.



The advantages of LED technology in the dressing room


  • Perfect illumination of the inside of the wardrobe in your dressing room
  • Reduced and indirect light creates a cozy atmosphere 
  • Voluminous dressing rooms look much more elegant with discreet LED lighting
  • Can be switched on by remote control or by a sensor when the wardrobes are opened
  • LEDs are significantly more energy-efficient and have a longer service life, which saves energy and money
  • LEDs generate no heat and are also heat-stable

The color temperature and color rendering quality in the dressing room


It is also important to color temperature of the lamps. A warm color temperature of around 2700 to 3000 Kelvin creates a cozy atmosphere, while a colder color temperature of around 4000 to 5000 Kelvin produces a cooler light that is particularly suitable for daylight simulations.


If you opt for LED technology, make sure that you use a high color rendering quality (CRI) to ensure that the colors of your clothing are displayed as realistically as possible.

Set a targeted focus


In addition to the general lighting systems  it should also be possible to create targeted light beams to highlight specific areas of the dressing room. One possibility is the use of spotlights or swivel wall lamps to highlight certain items of clothing or accessories. For the use of swivel wall lamps, the s.luce beam can be used perfectly.


Another trend is the LED technologywhich is built into the furniture. For example, illuminated shelves or drawers can fill the room with a subtle light and serve as a functional element at the same time. Finally, a mirror lighting  can also be a great addition to a dressing room.


A well-placed light source around the mirror can reduce shadows and illuminate the face well to get an accurate picture of your appearance. This is particularly useful when applying make-up or styling hair.


Because a mirror lighting can also have an additional decorative function and give the room an elegant touch.

Decorative lighting in the dressing room


When choosing the decorative light sources you should also consider the size and shape of the room. In a large room, several pendant lights  or chandeliers  can be used to create a dramatic effect.


In a smaller dressing room, on the other hand wall lights  or floor lamps  may be better suited to save space and create pleasant lighting at the same time.


Decorative lighting can further enhance the dressing room and give it a personal touch. One option is to use pendant lights or chandeliers. These can be placed in the middle of the dressing room or above a specific area such as a seating area. Here are the elements s.luce Fairy as a pendant light and the s.luce Chaos as a chandelier.


Another option is the use of wall lights  or floor lamps to bring additional light into the room and also serve as a decorative element. Wall lights can be placed on the walls to create indirect lighting and create a pleasant ambience in the dressing room. Here are the s.luce ring floor lamp and the s.luce Cloud wall light are recommended.


Floor lamps can be placed in corners or next to a seating area to create a cozy atmosphere.

Layout in the dressing room


A good lighting system in the dressing room helps you to correctly assess the clothes you are wearing. You should also make sure that the lighting does not cast any shadows that could interfere with your dressing. A combination of blankets - and mirror lighting  is ideal for providing sufficient and shadow-free lighting and shadow-free lighting.


In addition to lighting, you should also make sure that you have enough storage space in your closet to keep your clothes neatly organized. Shelves, drawers and clothes rails should be arranged so that you can access your clothes quickly and easily.


Also use hangers to make sure your clothes don't get creased or damaged. Good organization of your clothes and accessories can help you get ready in the morning faster and with less stress.
