Every room in your home requires different lighting.
Feel free to filter our product selection by room to find the products you need.
Your Office
The office is a workspace that requires effective, high-quality lighting. You need to create an environment with optimal conditions for working and concentrating.
- Using a dimmer switch: ideal for providing bright lighting during the day and softer, more relaxing light in the evening.
- Adjustable lamps: highly functional, they allow you to direct the light and provide direct, precise illumination without causing glare.
- A light source between 2,700 and 3,000 Kelvin: this color temperature range provides lighting similar to natural light, which is easy on the eyes.

Your Bedroom
The bedroom is a space for relaxation and rest.
- Soft lighting: Choose dimmable lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere. Table lamps are ideal for this purpose.
- Reading lights: Avoid eye strain with reading lights. Choose a cool light to prevent squinting.
- Warm lighting: For the main lighting, however, choose a warmer color temperature to give the room a cozy atmosphere.

Your hallway
Often overlooked, the hallway is a dark space that needs to be lit in a way that’s both functional and effective.
- A narrow space: Wall sconces or spotlights are perfect for lighting this area.
- A long, narrow space: Opt for a series of light fixtures to illuminate the entire space and provide effective lighting.
Here are the key tips for lighting your hallway with style.
Your kitchen
As the most welcoming space in the house, the kitchen is a room that needs functional lighting.
- Even lighting: Recessed spotlights are ideal for providing diffused light and illuminating the entire room.
- Central lighting: For the main kitchen light fixture, choose a high-wattage option with a warm white color temperature of around 3,000 kelvins to enjoy pleasant and functional lighting.

Your Entryway
The entryway is the first impression people have of your home, so it’s important to make it welcoming.
- Create a cozy atmosphere: Table lamps are ideal for making your entryway a warm and inviting space. Opt for natural lighting—neither too white nor too yellow.
- Save space: Since entryways are often narrow, they shouldn’t be cluttered. Wall sconces are perfect for providing effective lighting without taking up space.

Your dining room
As a living space where you entertain guests, the dining room is an area worth highlighting.
- The central light fixture: Since the dining table is the room’s focal point, a chandelier or pendant light is ideal for covering its entire length. It’s best to choose a fixture with a high CRI (>80) to ensure food colors are rendered accurately.
- Cozy lighting: For the room’s ambient lighting, choose a warmer color temperature to create a cozy atmosphere.

Your Bathroom
The bathroom is a true living space where we both need to and enjoy taking care of ourselves. Lighting plays a vital role in the comfort of this space.
- Safe lighting: A protection rating of 44 or higher is required to ensure the fixture is protected against the intrusion of solid objects and liquids.
- Small or medium-sized space: Equip your bathroom with small table lamps, spotlights, or wall sconces to avoid cluttering the room.

Your Living Room
This space is the heart of your home. As the living area where everyone gathers, it calls for warm, cozy lighting.
- Appropriate light intensity: Since the living room is where daily activities take place, choose a light fixture with a lumen output between 1,200 and 2,000 to illuminate the entire room.
- A light fixture suited to the size of the space: Depending on the room’s size, opt for a fixture that’s proportionate to avoid overwhelming your living room with a fixture that’s too large, for example.
