LED strip in the interior +50 photos of lighting ideas
The appearance in the 60s of monochromatic illumination literally turned the world of lighting devices. LEDs began to be used everywhere. At first, the lighting with the help of LEDs was point, this option was used to create billboards, then an LED strip appeared in the interior, and the horizons of the application of illumination expanded significantly.
In the apartment, the LED strip was originally used on the ceiling. Designers created from her a picture of the starry sky. After the LEDs began to be used to decorate the walls.Diode mosaics and ornaments looked best in the bedroom and the nursery.
Today, a tape of monochromatic lamps can illuminate a picture or a shelf in the bathroom. It can be seen as an independent decor. Many use LEDs to highlight niches and bar counters in the kitchen. They highlight skirting boards, walls, ceilings and photo frames.
Like everything else in the world, such lamps have their drawbacks and advantages. The disadvantages of the diode tape are its high cost, although today, budget options are increasingly appearing on sale.
Another disadvantage of using LEDs is the inability to make their light less bright. The pluses include the following:
A large number of colors and sizes;
Various modifications to solve various interior tasks;
Energy saving;
Long service life;
Wear resistance, lack of problems with voltage drops.
The interior, which uses lighting, looks modern and stylish. Loft, Art Nouveau, eco, pop art and other design areas from the use of soft lighting tapes are only being transformed.
The ceiling with a diode pattern is a classic of the genre. But plasma TVs began to surround with a tape relatively recently. The home use of diodes is limited only by the imagination of the owner of the house or apartment. The idea of their inclusion in the interior can extend to the lighting of furniture, cabinets in the kitchen and even the refrigerator.
Ceiling Light Options
The illumination with a ribbon on the ceiling fits perfectly into the frame of a multi-level ceiling. For the design of the ceiling, the following types of lights are used:
Variety
Details
Scattered contour
It is laid along the perimeter of the ceiling, creates the effect of a soft and diffused glow, the tape is in a special box.
Directional
Diodes are located on separate slopes. Light turns out to be more directed.
Spot
It is used to create the effect of the starry sky.
Curly
An LED strip is used to highlight the pattern on the ceiling. Different parts of the tape shine in the right directions.
Designer lighting on the ceiling canvas is not designed to give a lot of light to the room. Her task is to make the atmosphere of the home comfortable and unusual. LEDs are an additional light source that does not replace the main one.
It is problematic to bring design lighting to life with your own hands. Here you need to understand the principle of connecting and positioning the LEDs, as well as possess the necessary artistic skills.
In addition to the LED cord, neon lights and led lamps are used to illuminate the ceiling. Often, these options are combined with each other, achieving specific goals.
Skirting light
An ordinary wooden skirting board is not suitable for lighting applications. LED strip can be used in special skirting boards with cable channels. After laying the tape in the channel, the baseboard itself is fitted with specialized diffuser caps that also protect the structure from dust and dirt. These plugs help diffuse the bright light of the LEDs.
The expressive lighting of the baseboard gives the room a festive look. A separate controller is installed to control the light intensity. And then the atmosphere in the room can be changed at will.
The connection of such a tape is linear. And its installation does not cause difficulties even for beginning masters. LED strip is ideal for using lights on the floor and walls.
Staircase lighting
The steps illuminated by diodes look especially elegant in houses with high ceilings. With the help of LED strip, you can turn a staircase into a genuine work of interior art.
The tape is placed in the center of the spans and steps, create a side contour from it. Or apply for each step separately.Sometimes in the center of the stairs, LEDs, like on a race track, are placed parallel to each other.
For safety reasons, staircase lighting should not be too bright. Otherwise, the risk of injury increases.
Choosing a tape for the stairs is worth looking at the tones in which the walls adjacent to it are painted. The design of the room in cold shades does not harmonize well with the warm type of lighting.
Illumination of photo frames and paintings
Pictures and photo frames are also highlighted using LED strip. Small decor objects are adorned with a ribbon with small diodes. Large frames combine with bright light elements. Sometimes, like the illumination of skirting boards, the ribbon in the paintings is placed in the structure itself, achieving the effect of scattered light.
Any box, including a doorway, can be successfully decorated with a diode tape. The main thing here is to guess with a common color concept. The brightness of the glow does not matter so much.
Kitchen lighting
The main location of the backlight in the kitchen is the working area of the table. When cooking, we often do not have enough top and side lighting. The LEDs in the correct zone solve this problem. An excellent design move is the interior lighting of glazed cabinets. The bottom of the kitchen set can also be decorated with LEDs.
Conventional cabinets for storing dishes, cutlery and food literally need to install additional lighting. Especially if there are a lot of appliances in the kitchen, and their search is significantly complicated by a lack of light.
A fashionable favorite of recent seasons is the illumination of a transparent countertop. It can be either contour or solid. And it looks beautiful, giving the interior of the kitchen a non-trivial highlight.
The LED console with a pattern is considered another novelty. It replaces the tiles on the wall, creating unimaginable effects and overflows in the room.
Room lighting
The LED strip in the rooms may look different.The stone in the interior of the living room is decorated with diodes quite neatly, since next to it, usually, is a fireplace, which is an additional source of light. You can select a window with diodes, the emphasis is on curtains, front doors and drawings on the floor. Emphasis is a good way of zoning your home.
Brick walls in the loft style perfectly combine with any type of lighting. Connecting diodes to them does not take much time, and there you can use the backlight without fear.
In the bathroom, the tape with diodes is combined with fixtures of the "ice" type. With this technique, a small room gets enough light. In the living room, it all depends on the general concept of the interior.
Classical-style houses imply the use of LEDs only on columns. Modern designs allow you to choose the right diode lamps for almost any part of the interior. Not a single fashion project is complete without them.
Zoning the room with light
Large living spaces can be zoned not only with color transitions and partitions. To distinguish between zones, LED strip is also used.
She draws a visible line on the ceiling, separating the corner for relaxation from the library. Highlight podiums, which also serve as an excellent way to delimit rooms into zones.
Unusual use of tape
The most unusual use of LEDs in the interior is the illumination of the toilet. Second place can be given to Philips with its LED wallpaper that changes color and light intensity.
Further, glowing ice cubes began to be used in interior decor. They are most often located in the kitchen. And how do you like LED grass on the lawn? The above examples once again prove that the scope of LED strip is very extensive, and is limited only by the imagination of man, as well as material capabilities.
Conclusion
LEDs that are used for decorative purposes have practical benefits.They consume little energy. Increase the safety of movement around the room at night. They help to create real miracles of light art in their own home.
LED strip lasts a really long time. Softens harsh and contrasting interiors. Turns the finishing process into an exciting adventure.
