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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Tip: The s.luce Flat LED mirror light adapts perfectly to both modern and classic bathrooms.
A balcony, garden or terrace is the icing on the cake of your vacation home - especially in the evening. This creates a cozy and safe atmosphere.
Checklist:
Floor and wall spotlights for paths.
Solar lamps as accent lights.
IP65 lights for all weather conditions - e.g. s.luce Globe LED outdoor light.
