Each room has functional zones. And one of the ways of zoning is light. It is practical, and in no way affects the area - you do not need to build partitions and divide the room. How to zonail different rooms?
1 How to zonail the kitchen?
Designers traditionally make three lighting scenarios in the kitchen: shared ceiling light, backlighting the working area and light over the dining area. Optionally, they make a separate backlight of the cabinets - inside, or the backlight of the bar counter (if it is).
Ceiling light should be bright, like the light over the working area - there we work with sharp objects and are simply obliged to see everything well. Additional light - above the dining table, inside the cabinets or above the bar must create comfort. It can be muffled and soft. Such a solution zonizes space on the working area and the recreation area.
