Interior Lighting Design Guide for Nepali Homes

Layer ambient, task and accent lighting correctly across living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms for a well-lit home.

Layer three light types

Combine ambient (general), task (functional) and accent (decorative) lighting rather than relying on a single ceiling fixture.

Kitchen task lighting

Under-cabinet lighting over countertops significantly improves food preparation visibility, often overlooked in Nepali kitchen design.

Choose the right color temperature

Warm white (2700-3000K) suits living and bedrooms; cooler white (4000K+) suits kitchens and workspaces.

Plan switch points early

Multi-point switching (especially for staircases and long corridors) needs to be planned into the electrical layout before wiring.

Use this in Build Mart Nepal

Turn the guidance into action by creating a project, loading a BOQ, matching local providers, issuing quotations and storing approvals in the Build Mart Nepal construction operating system.
