The placement of LED strips can completely transform a space. Here are some ideas and tips to help you make the most of their potential:
Factors to consider before installing LED strips:
- Room function: Do you want to create a relaxing, energizing atmosphere or highlight decorative elements?
- Room size and shape: LED strips can accentuate architectural lines, disguise imperfections or visually enlarge a space.
- Wall and furniture color: Warm colors are complemented by warm lights, while cool colors go best with cool lights.
- LED strip type: RGB strips offer greater versatility to change color and create dynamic effects.
Ideas for locating LED strips:
- Behind furniture:
- Televisions: Creates an enveloping effect and reduces visual fatigue.
- Shelving: Highlights decorative objects and creates a warm atmosphere.
- Bed headboards: Promotes relaxation and creates a cozy atmosphere.
- On the roof:
- Outline: Defines the perimeter of the room and creates a starry sky effect.
- Recessed: Disguises the lighting and creates a soft and diffused ambience.
- On the ground:
- Under furniture: Highlight low furniture such as sofas or beds.
- In the outline of a carpet: It delimits the space and creates an interesting visual effect.
- In niches and shelves:
- Illuminates works of art: Highlights paintings, sculptures and other decorative objects.
- Creates depth effects: Increases the perception of space in niches and shelves.
Additional tips:
- Plan the installation: Draw a sketch of the room and mark the points where you will place the LED strips.
- Use aluminum profiles: They protect the LED strips, dissipate heat and improve light diffusion.
- Consider the distance between LED strips: A smaller distance creates a more uniform illumination, while a larger distance creates more dramatic effects.
- Use a controller: It will allow you to adjust the brightness, color and effects of the LED strips.
- Make sure the surface is clean and dry before gluing the LED strips.
Example:
If you want to create a relaxing atmosphere in your bedroom, you can place warm LED strips behind the headboard and around the ceiling. For a workspace, cool LED strips under shelves can help you concentrate.
