Stair Lighting

The layout style of the stairwell largely depends on the arrangement of the stair lighting. Different styles of stair lights have different arrangements. If the stairs in the home are decorated with a semi-spiral minimalist European style, the design of the lamps can be selected according to the color of the wall wallpaper in the stairwell.

The decorative effect of stair lighting can be considered from floor lamps and wall lamps. As shown in the picture below, the warm yellow floral wallpaper, against the backdrop of the warm-colored double-headed European-style wall lamps and warm white buried lamps, makes the whole home look more warm and comfortable. With goose yellow marble stair treads, it instantly highlights the decorative effect of the entire home.

The arrangement and installation of stair lighting is not just about installing light fixtures on the ascending part of the stairs. For large-sized villas, the stairway also lacks the decoration of lamps. Matching with the decorative design of the aisle wall, the spotlight design embedded in the ceiling can not only highlight the decorative effect of the aisle wall, but also match the lighting design of the entire ceiling space.

The chandeliers should be long-striped chandeliers, which can lengthen the sense of space in the house.

However, the distance between the wall lamp and the ground can be closer, about 1400mm-1700mm. The distance from the wall lamp to the wall is closer, generally 95mm-400mm.
