How do I choose the right type of lighting for my home?
Light brings atmosphere, coziness, and warmth to the spaces where you need it. That’s why at IKEA, you’ll find lamps suitable for every household, style, and budget. Shine your light and choose from the many types and sizes in our product range.
There are different types of lighting: in broad strokes you can distinguish general lighting, task lighting, and ambient lighting (an within these categories we also offer accent lighting and smart lighting). The mix of these types of light completes the overall picture. Take a walk around your house in the evening to find out if you have too many dark corners and where you could use an additional lamp.
