As a rule, the chandelier is fixed in the center of the room, but if 2 zones are concentrated in one room, then you need to use two sources of central lighting, if necessary. Or use a chandelier in one zone, and supplement the other with sconces and soffits (this decision depends on the purpose of the zones and the required light intensity).

Cool lighting should be chosen for the work area; warm, but not too dark, light is suitable for rest and relaxation. You can choose lighting with adjustable light intensity, the best option for bedrooms and children.
