Discover how TD architects applies light strips in interior design: from living rooms and bedrooms to kitchens and offices, lighting becomes an aesthetic element that elevates both living and working experiences.

Light strips - beyond illumination

In interior design, lighting is not only about visibility but also a key factor in shaping aesthetics. TD architects applies light strips as a visual “language” that guides emotions, defines spatial boundaries, and adds depth to architecture.

Living room applications - creating warmth and focal points

  • Recommended color temperature: 3000K-3500K (warm white)
  • Illuminance (lux): approx. 100-300 lux for lounge areas
  • Color Rendering Index (CRI): ≥ 80 to highlight furniture tones

In the living room, indirect lighting from recessed LED strips or behind wooden slats creates a warm and elegant ambiance. This soft glow enhances walls or ceilings while reducing shadows, making the space inviting and comfortable for both hosts and guests.

Bedroom applications - encouraging relaxation

  • Recommended color temperature: 2700K-3000K (soft warm light)
  • Illuminance (lux): approx. 50-150 lux near the bed area
  • CRI: ≥ 80

Gentle lighting placed behind the headboard or beneath built-in cabinets fosters a sense of calm and promotes restful sleep. This solution balances functionality and aesthetics while avoiding glare at night.

Kitchen & dining applications - enhancing connection

  • Recommended color temperature: 3500K-4000K (neutral light)
  • Illuminance (lux): 300-500 lux for dining and kitchen island areas
  • CRI: ≥ 90 to ensure vivid, accurate food colors

Light strips above the kitchen island and dining table accentuate spaces for cooking and dining. Natural daylight is maximized during the day, while at night, neutral light maintains brightness for activities and preserves the warm, inviting atmosphere of shared meals.

Office applications – flexible and functional

  • Recommended color temperature: 4000K-5000K (neutral to cool white)
  • Illuminance (lux): 300–500 lux for general workspaces, 500-750 lux for task-focused areas
  • CRI: ≥ 80

TD architects uses uniform lighting to enhance productivity, complemented by indirect light strips in discussion zones to foster comfort. With sliding glass doors, light can be flexibly adjusted: opened for group collaboration or closed to ensure focus.

Light strips – the balance of function and aesthetics

The key advantage of light strips lies in their ability to merge functionality with emotion. When designed with the right technical specifications, lighting not only supports daily activities but also elevates aesthetics-transforming interiors into premium lifestyle experiences.
