Lighting ideas for landing?
Hi all I'd really value your advice.
We're having our landing re-plastered and wanted to get your opinions on the best lighting for the space. Currently as shown in the pictures there are two ceiling pendants and a skylight.
We'd like to keep the ceiling pendants but thinking of adding recessed spotlights that will project light down onto the ceiling of stairs and back wall. All advice greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

3 years agoHi Tom, I would go for large statement pendant lights which draw the eye away from the actual ceiling and then light the stairs using side lights or wall lights embedded into the back wall
I hope this helps

Ideas please - hallway, stairs and landing
Comments (9)Hi Laura, we’ve found that stairways are often overlooked, despite the fact that in many homes it’s the first thing people see when they walk in the door. Halls, stairs and landings are high traffic areas and need hard wearing, practical carpets with a good pile weight and density that maintain their appearance. It’s worth spending time and effort on this area to create an enticing entrance. Have you considered letting a simple striped carpet take centre stage? Our Avebury collection made from 100% pure new wool comes in either a neat, level loop pile or a textured loop pile and offers four tonal striped designs and eight plain, stylish shades that can be teamed together to work in the hall and up the stairs. Keep the décor classic with a light striped carpet teamed with soft neutral walls for a timeless feel. https://www.cormarcarpets.co.uk/product_avebury/product_avebury.php...See MoreLighting on landing dilemma!
Comments (6)Hi Charlie, Recessed down-lights could work, just go for something that's adjustable so you could angle the lights. These Philips ones could come in handy. They have a contemporary and practical design. Philips 3 Pack of EcoHalo Recessed Downlights - White Or you could go for few single spotlights, this will give you more flexibility with directing the light and is a great alternative for bar lights / track lights. They are also quite compact in size. 1 Light Cylinder Ceiling or Wall Spotlight - Black Or you could use down-lighters to light the main wall creating an unusual and welcoming look... Helo 1 Light Outdoor Grooved Down Wall Light - Dark Grey Hope this helps and best of luck with your project! Litecraft Team...See MoreAny ideas welcome in hall stairs and landing!!
Comments (9)You've got a great space to work with there, lovely hallway with nice light, a vista through to the back and a lovely traditional staircase. If you like the style I would say it just needs a new stair runner and a lick of paint. Have a look at Roger Oates wool stair runners - these are all the rage for this kind of setting at the moment, some gorgeous colours available. Then maybe you could coordinate with some artwork you like to go on the walls and choose a neutral wall paint that works with the colours. You could go all white with the stair bannister, but maybe not if it already works with your colour scheme. Then think about how you could "style up" the view to the back of the house. Another thing to consider is lighting accessories to create a nice welcoming ambience at night. Hope this helps :)...See MoreI'm looking for ideas for carpet for my stairs, landing and bedrooms
Comments (3)Personally I’d go for neutral carpets, they should in theory last a lot longer than paint then you’re not so tied to a colour palette when you want to change a room. I’d lift the neutral walls with accent colours for art and accessories and plants will also add some life...See More
