Video: DIY LED lighting
LED strip in the interior is, on the one hand, a fashion trend, and on the other hand, it is a convenient, inexpensive and safe way of lighting, accessible to literally everyone. The use of such tapes opens up truly limitless possibilities for zoning space, creating spotlights, lighting furniture and other bold decisions regarding home improvement.
In which interior is it better to use
The LED strip will look organically in the interior of literally any apartment, and it does not matter at all what style the rooms are decorated in. Even a strict retro, as if not allowing modern solutions, can be “friends” with a led strip - for this, it is enough just to make the light source itself invisible. Well, high-tech and other modern styles allow you not to hide anything anywhere, but to make the LED strip a full-fledged element of decor.
The most common options for using LED strip are ceiling lighting (including stretch) and work area. However, the possibilities of the led tape are much wider, and it is worth talking about them in more detail.
Zoning of the premises
Zoning itself is used to visually “divide” a room into separate sectors, each of which has a specific function. For example, on the Internet you can find a lot of photos with examples of partitions, cabinets and screens that allow you to make two out of one room - a bedroom and a work area, a living room and a children's corner, and so on. LED strips in this case are used to create "own" lighting in each of the selected areas.
In the bedroom, brighter lighting of the dressing table or mirror would be appropriate, in front of which the hostess usually changes clothes. In the nursery, you can “illuminate” the play area, and equip spotlights next to the bed, which can be left on all night if the child is afraid to sleep in the dark.
Also, LED lighting can be used to create light accents in the interior. It can be used to highlight a picture, pieces of furniture, a mirror, a niche in the wall and other decorative elements against the general background.
An interesting solution is colored LED strips, which not only illuminate the space, but in themselves can serve as a color accent or favorably illuminate surrounding objects in the same color scheme.
Autonomous lighting sources
If there is no need to turn on the overhead light in the room every time, you can equip the part of the room that you use most often with autonomous LED lighting. For example, luminous skirting boards in the corridor will help you get to the kitchen at night without injury to drink water. And in the kitchen itself, it is not at all necessary to turn on the chandelier in the middle of the night, if it is possible to slightly illuminate the table or countertop, on which there is a carafe of water.
Many citizens often stay up late at the computer, in which case it also makes sense to additionally illuminate the working area when the “general” light in the room is already turned off. The fact is that the flickering of a monitor, even the most modern one, negatively affects the health of the eyes, and in order to neutralize this unpleasant effect, it is necessary to remove the “transition” between the bright screen of the gadget and the darkness in the room.
In private houses, LED strips are used for corridors. The tape can be built into the railing or pasted along each step.
In closets, basements and other technical rooms, the lighting can be supplemented with a motion sensor so that the light comes on as soon as a person enters. Such a reception would be appropriate in the corridor, on the balcony or attic.
In the toilet or bathroom, the motion sensor will be useless - the light will turn off at the most inopportune moment, and this is rather inconvenient.
Other options for using LED strips
There are usually no windows in the bathroom - a source of natural light, and the "upper" light in this situation is not always able to cover the entire space of the room. Therefore, separate light accents will be useful, saving the bathroom from eternal twilight.
Furniture can also be illuminated with LED strips - this is another fashion trend that young people especially like. A bed “floating” in the air or a “space” kitchen corner can cause a storm of delight among the guests, and for the owner himself - become an additional source of lighting in the room.
Designers also offer to mount LED strips on glazed balconies and loggias, where conventional lamps are not needed at all. If you have a private house and there is a gazebo near it, then you can also use led tape to illuminate them.
An interesting solution would be the illumination of curtains or curtains in the living room. The light, muffled by a translucent fabric, makes the atmosphere of the room cozy and unusual, and the color scheme of the interior is more saturated.
Illumination of shelves, including glass ones, will look very interesting in a loft or high-tech style.
Such an element of decor in a small apartment can be almost self-sufficient - the owners do not need to invent something unusual to make the interior unbanal, just turn on the light.
The "Housing Problem" program talks about several convenient options for using LED lighting in the interior of an apartment
Let's sum it up
LED strips are a real find for creating an unusual home interior. If you do not limit yourself to the banal “sconce on the wall”, you can literally turn your home into a fabulous palace or a spaceship. Don't be afraid to experiment! Installation of an LED strip does not require special costs and skills, so you can change a boring concept at any time, move the light source to another room, or even remove it as unnecessary. And it will cost you mere pennies - unlike the stationary light sources that we are all used to.
The variety of light sources based on LEDs, both in shape and color, often confuse people who want to make adjustments to the design of the room. This problem is especially relevant in relation to premises that are under major renovation, as well as already equipped rooms that lack some kind of zest. One of the ways to effectively design a room is to use LED strip in the interior. And it is she who is preferred by professionals. But why? Yes, because with its help you can implement absolutely any ideas, and you can build a huge list of arguments in its favor. Here are some facts and photos that prove the superiority of LED strips over other types of lighting.
Undeniable advantages
If you can install different types of light bulbs in most fixtures, then it is unlikely that you will be able to find an alternative to the LED strip. Particularly noteworthy are RGB+W LED strips, which, unlike RGB options, are capable of emitting pure white light or glowing in any color with a soft tint. And a modern solution from a trusted supplier Giant4.ru in the form of using an RGB + W LED strip will allow you to get the desired result.
Due to the unique design, excellent flexibility and the possibility of extension, LED strips can be mounted in various parts of the room.
And the LED strip is:
- the ability to create any interior style;
- high-quality adhesive base on the back;
- safe low-voltage power supply;
- brightness adjustment (optional).
Zoning a room with light
The LED strip is perfect for dividing the interior space of a room into two zones, different in function. For example, in one part there is a dining room, and in the other - a kitchen or living room. Despite the close proximity, they can be made in different colors, which is clearly determined by the color of the furniture, tiles, suspended ceiling. LED light in this case is designed to strengthen the invisible border, as well as visually increase the interior space.
In small apartments, with the help of zoning, it is possible to increase comfort and coziness, while maintaining its aesthetic properties. Eye-pleasing blue or warm white lighting can create a pleasant atmosphere or highlight a student's workplace in the bedroom. In this case, a competent selection of the brightness of the LED interior lighting will allow you to distinguish between a recreation and work area. 
Ceiling lighting options
The bright illumination of the figured plasterboard ceiling will emphasize the beauty of its pattern, create an optical illusion, extending it to the entire interior as a whole. 
If a different type of wallpaper with decorative elements is used in ceiling ledges or niches, then it is better to make low-power tape lighting along the contour. It will emphasize the accent of the chosen style, and will not conflict with the main light from the chandelier. 
On a light-colored ceiling with powerful white illumination directed upwards around the perimeter, the effect of a “ceiling floating in the air” is created.
Using the tape in combination with a stretch ceiling will give the interior a light that will impress the residents for many years. The main thing is to choose the right direction of the light flux and the shade of light emitted by the LED strip.
A little fantasy
The use of LED strip in the interior is a chance to materialize the flight of your own thoughts. It harmoniously complements the light from stationary lamps and, thanks to its high practicality, can be placed in a wide variety of places in the room.
A children's room, in the upper part of which a green LED strip is fixed, will look unusual in the evening. As you know, green light gives a pleasant shade to interior items and calms the nervous system, which is important for a child before going to bed. A short length of tape can be left on all night so that children do not have to fall asleep in the dark. 
In a multi-room apartment, individual strips are fixed in the corridor and used as emergency lighting at night. 
In two-story houses, they equip the illumination of steps and railings. 
LED lighting in the interior of the house using LED strip looks special when it brings to the fore a certain piece of furniture, for example:
- aquarium;
- paintings;
- cabinets;
- coffee table;
- racks with shelves;
- mini-bar located behind colored corrugated glass.
Fashionable in recent years, niches placed in plasterboard walls require decorating them with LED strip. In the kitchen, she will find a place under the edge of the countertop. 
This will make it easier to find the right thing from the drawer. It can also be fixed behind a cornice with curtains and matched to the wallpaper. 
For this, a low-power strip with 3528 SMD LEDs in the amount of 30 pieces per 1 meter is ideal, which can be left on all night to create a pleasant twilight in the room.
