No Main Light: Table Lamps Throughout the Room

An English living room at night, with no light fixtures on the ceiling. All lighting comes from table lamps scattered throughout the room—about six to eight, placed on chests of drawers, side tables, desks, windowsills, and on either side of the fireplace. Each lamp base has a different design, made of ceramic, brass, glass, or wood, and all lampshades are fabric-covered in soft colors. Their height is around or slightly above eye level when seated, emitting a warm yellow light with a low color temperature, forming a small, warm pool of light around each, with darker transitions between the pools. The ceiling and upper part of the walls are in shadow. Avoid: adding ceiling flush mounts and recessed lights, using matching uniform light fixtures, illuminating the room evenly and brightly, using cool white light.

一間夜晚的英式起居室,天花板上沒有任何燈具。照明全部來自散佈在房間各處的桌燈——大約六到八盞,放在五斗櫃上、邊几上、書桌上、窗台上與壁爐兩側。每一盞的燈座造型都不同,有陶瓷的、黃銅的、玻璃的、木質的,燈罩全部是包布的,顏色柔和。它們的高度都在坐姿的視線附近或略高,發出的光是低色溫的暖黃,在各自周圍形成一個溫暖的小光池,光池之間有較暗的過渡。天花與牆面上半部沉在暗處。避免:加入天花吸頂燈與嵌燈、使用成套統一的燈具、把房間照得均勻明亮、使用冷白色的光。
