With the popularity of minimalism, the use of lines in interior design has become increasingly common. By utilizing the changes in simple and smooth lines to outline the space, not only can the flexibility of the space be mobilized, but the entire space can also exude a sense of sophistication. If you combine line design with lighting, you will find that the overall aesthetic and style of the space instantly elevate.
What is linear lighting system?
What is linear lighting?Linear lighting is a form of illumination characterized by its linear shape as opposed to square or round fixtures. These luminaires employ long optics to focus and distribute light over a narrower area compared to traditional lighting methods.
Linear Lighting Application
Linear lighting has a wide range of applications in interior lighting. From the entrance foyer to the ceilings and walls of the living room and bedroom, cabinets in the study, and even the staircase, linear lighting can be used to enhance the design. Whether it’s high-level, mid-level, or low-level lighting, linear lighting brings different visual experiences.
Foyer
The entrance foyer is usually the first impression upon entering a home. It establishes the overall tone of the decoration and serves multiple functions such as storing daily clothing, organizing shoes, and temporary storage. Especially in small-sized homes, there is a high demand for storage functionality in the foyer, leading to the customization of foyer cabinets.
To make the foyer cabinet simple yet not monotonous, we recommend installing two sets of cabinet lights in the compartments and below the shoe cabinet. This not only meets the daily lighting needs for storage but also creates a great atmosphere for the foyer cabinet.
The foyer serves as a transition area between the outdoors and indoors. In order to ensure the privacy of the space, some households set up partitions in the foyer. A minimalist and personalized partition design can add a sense of design to the space. If combined with soft linear lighting decoration, the foyer becomes even more modern and aesthetically pleasing.
Living Room
Modern minimalist living rooms mostly abandon complex main light decorations and focus on general lighting. Many lighting professionals choose magnetic track lights for the living room, which have simple shapes and smooth lines. Paired with linear magnetic spotlights, they provide overall lighting while exuding a sense of quality.
Compared to spotlights, linear lighting creates a softer and cozier atmosphere, usually used as auxiliary lighting in the living room. Using linear lighting to shape the space contours enhances the depth of the space and adds a strong sense of design.
Bedroom
Due to its soft and non-glaring illumination, linear lighting is perfect for bedroom lighting. It is commonly used in embedded designs in the headboard area, which can replace or be combined with bedside lamps to provide basic lighting at night.
In addition, embedding linear lighting into the wall can create a stylish and romantic atmosphere in the entire bedroom, making the space simple and fashionable.
Staircase
Besides ceilings and walls, the combination of linear lighting and staircase steps creates the most dreamy effect. By embedding aluminum strip lights on the inside of each step, the clean and precise light outlines the lines of the staircase, creating distinct levels and visual impact. The feeling of walking on illuminated steps is simply wonderful.
The above are some applications of linear lighting in interior lighting design. There are various possibilities for the combination of linear lighting according to different layouts and styles.
