Ceiling lighting

5 years ago

We are looking for a ceiling lighting for our small living room (not high ceiling). A lot of lightings out there are hanging ones which wouldn’t work in our living room as we’d walk straight into it. Our furnitures are traditional/modern, so a contemporary lighting wouldn’t work.

Any ideas what what type of lighting would work in a small living room with average ceiling height?

Thanks!

Hi Juliana,

Can I maybe suggest a light that is fixed to the ceiling?

For example, this one only hangs 15cm or this [one[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/paul-neuhaus-kairi-4-light-led-flush-ceiling-light-prvw-vr~92179584) which hangs 10cm.

I think its possible to get various styles and designs which have a very small height that could work perfectly for lower ceilings.

Hope this is helpful.

A good electrician will be best to replace the cable to lengthen them and will guide you as to the height placement for optimum light splay in the room - without seeing it - I’d say try to leave at least 2.4m of clear space below - but also look at any beams or lower ceiling areas in the space and take into consideration shadow lines from them, dependent on where you place these lights . also - if this is going to be a place where you are swinging kettle bells around or skipping with a rope ( a gym in other words ) then you need more clearance below !

We have this tripod lamp in our lounge and have 2 ceiling lights but have no idea what fittings or lampshades to put on them. I have attached a photo of the new lamp and a photo of our lounge so you can get an idea of our colour scheme (ignore my husband on the sofa 😂) Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated please.

The black style you have chosen works well with the other piece on the moodboard you've designed. Would you opt for a pendant to make more of feature?

One idea: Consider the use of LED tape to achieve reflected light, you could consider using a cornice to locate the tape and you wont need any down-lighters if you use this approach as the tape [dimmable] could deliver more than you'll ever need. And you'll have less 'ceiling-acne'

Interesting AVINU. What do you mean by ceiling-acne?

Hi ED. When we work as part of a design team we often find that the ceiling can be over loaded with fittings: down-lighters, smoke sensors, speakers, pendants... if you're not careful you can soon have a lot of 'ceiling-acne'.

In most new builds, or refurbs where the ceiling undergoes work, we try to avoid using down-lighters. A good lighting design can rule these out completely; or relocate to pick out textures or define areas.
