How to light a room
Some rooms are harder than others to find the right lighting for. With the help of Nordiska Galleriet's Head Interior Designer Lisa Viberg, she will guide you in the right direction.
How to think when planning lighting in a room?
– The bigger the room, the more light sources, but all rooms should have at least three types of lights: general, task and mood lighting.
Let's take the home office as an example.
– Good general lighting can be achieved, for example, by hanging a lamp above the desk or using a floor lamp that provides a lot of light. Then choose a desk lamp with directional light that serves as the actual work light. A lamp with a dimmer is always preferable as it gives you more functions when working. Complement this with wall lighting, which provides both mood and function.
Hur belyser man bäst ett badrum?
– Tänk på att ha riktigt stark belysning och var noggrann när du väljer lampa vid spegeln. Här vill man ha bra belysning som inte ger skuggor. Tänk också på att välja rätt dimmer och att lamporna är IP-klassade 44 om de skall sitta nära vatten. Det är även bra att välja ledbelysning med klart vitt ljus, gärna 5000–6000 Kelvin. Om färgtemperaturen är lägre än 5000 Kelvin blir ljuset gult eller blått vilket skapar missfärgningar som resulterar i att exempelvis huden inte visas korrekt.
Hur ska man tänka kring placering för matbordet?
– As a general rule, lamps should hang 65-75 centimetres above a dining table from the bottom of the lamp. If the lamps are placed too low, they risk obscuring the field of vision or dazzling those sitting at the table. If you have several light sources, it is a good idea to place them about 50-80 centimetres apart. Above a kitchen counter, place the lights higher, about 75-80 centimetres above the counter. For these, it is good to have a matt light source to avoid shadows when working.
How bright should the lights be?
– Blue or yellow light is not preferred in the home environment, and 400-700 lumens is a good guideline for general lighting. And again, choose a dimmable lamp so you can switch between work and cosy lighting.

In Scandinavia, we are used to the fact that there are several flexible shelving systems and storage solutions to choose from, where different parts can be used to customise something that covers all everyday needs. Many people have grown up with shelving systems such as String or Elfa, which have achieved their popularity thanks to an extremely well thought-out design, good choice and relatively easy assembly. However, it is all the more difficult to get a shelving system to suit everyone's needs in terms of different styles, which therefore leaves plenty of room for competition.
