Reading Corner Lighting | Which Light Do You Need?
A cosy reading corner requires different lighting from the general lighting in a living room. The light should be bright enough for comfortable reading while remaining pleasant when the reading lamp is not being used as functional lighting.
A floor lamp, wall light or table lamp can direct light towards your book or magazine. An adjustable ceiling spotlight can also be an effective solution. Positioning is important: if the light comes from behind or from the wrong angle, you may create unwanted shadows yourself.
In addition to light output, colour temperature and beam angle also play an important role. Warm light can complement the atmosphere of a living room, while a carefully chosen beam provides sufficient focused light without making the entire room unnecessarily bright.
Dimmable lighting makes a reading corner even more flexible. The light can be brighter and more functional while reading and dimmed to create a softer atmosphere when you simply want to relax.
Want to create a comfortable reading corner? As part of a lighting plan, we coordinate the reading light with the position of the seating, the other lighting and the desired atmosphere.
