Successful lighting can totally remodel your home.

Scandinavians appreciate the vital role that light plays in our lives, due to the long hours of darkness they endure.

Mixing different kinds of light can create a cosy and welcoming atmosphere so that we enjoy our homes even more.

Ikea offers an extensive range of intriguing lighting solutions to help you light up your life at home.

Visit the interactive screens on the Ikea web site, to see how you can furnish every room in your home with light to brilliant effect.

To furnish a room with light, you need to combine three main types:

• General Lighting should focus on definite features in the room, thus creating a cosy atmosphere and adding personality.
• Task Lamps can reduce strong contrasts between light and shade, by blending them together and spreading a unified light over the room.
• Mood Lighting requires you to think about the main activities in a room, enabling you to choose lamps to suit every pastime. A bright concentrated light is suitable for most tasks.
