Mezzanines are becoming an increasingly popular element in modern interiors. Their advantage is not only the additional space but also the unique charm they bring to any home. Proper lighting of such a space is crucial to enjoy both its functionality and the atmosphere created by the light. Here are a few tips on how to effectively and stylishly light a mezzanine in your home.
Adjusting Lighting to the Function of the Mezzanine
A mezzanine can serve various purposes: as a bedroom, a workspace, or a reading nook. Each of these applications requires a different type of lighting. If your mezzanine is a bedroom, choose warm, diffused light that creates a calm atmosphere conducive to relaxation. Task lighting, on the other hand, will be ideal if the mezzanine functions as an office - focused, strong light will facilitate concentration and work.
Proper Placement of Light
Remember that a mezzanine is often an open space to the rest of the home. Therefore, the lighting should be adapted to the overall interior and not interfere with the lighting on lower levels. It is important that the light is evenly distributed, avoiding dark corners that can make the space seem smaller and less friendly.
Choosing the Right Lamps
Do not hesitate to use lighting as a decorative element. Designer lamps that harmonize with the rest of the interior can completely change the character of the space. In the case of an open space, long hanging lamps are ideal, which will not only be a source of light but also a striking decorative element. Single luminaries can also be mounted cascadingly to achieve an original decorative effect. In this role, spiders, or those with multiple drops, work well. If you like the loft style, check out our multi-lamps with wooden elements. For more austere spaces, collections such as Loft Multi Metal Line by Kolorowe Kable or the Arigato series by Croatian manufacturer Grupa Products are perfect. For fans of minimalism, we recommend elegant fixtures from UMMO. Many lamp models have their "spider" counterparts.
If the space on the mezzanine is low, it is worth opting for ceiling lights, which do not take up much space but can stylishly complete the interior. You will find a wide selection of wall lamps from brands such as KASPA, Markslojd or Ferroluce. Pay attention to such iconic models as VERO, MIST and PI.
Do not forget about wall sconces, which - placed on the walls - will emphasize the architecture of the place and add intimacy, especially around the bed or in a bookworm nook. Here we recommend our best-selling Loft Bala luminaries available in almost all colors of the rainbow. If you prefer subdued colors and minimalist shapes, go for wall lamps from UMMO, such as KUUL D or KOBAN E. In industrial interiors, concrete wall lamps, such as Febe Wall by Loftlight or Ambasador by Kandela Lighting, will fit perfectly.
Utilizing Natural Light
In an apartment with a mezzanine, there is usually plenty of natural light, thanks to large windows or roof skylights. Make sure that the artificial lighting is well integrated, which will save energy and create a more pleasant living space.
Mezzanine lighting can be both functional and stylish. We encourage you to experiment with different types of lighting to find the best solution that meets your needs and tastes. Find more inspiration at KoloroweKable.pl store!
