Ideas for lighting for vaulted ceiling

2 years ago

Had considered one pendant light on the ceiling aspect facing the landing but would 2 pendants off both sloping ceilings be better? Or just put a flat strip through to cover the apex?

am having difficulty figuring out the first two photos. but the second makes me think of this, so be very careful!! i'd be looking at places to put up wall lights i think, so they can light up the ceiling as well as the walls/art.

Floor standing up lighters ( but small ones not tall ones ) wash the walls with light and can bounce off the vaulted ceiling for a light that's interesting...

Hi Julia, it's a bit difficult making suggestions from a distance without seeing and 'feeling' the space but you have several options... pendant lights are certainly one, as Pavilion Broadway has suggested. You could have several dotted around the space, even hanging them at different heights - which could be fun. Alternatively you could use LED strip lighting around the room - this gives a very modern look and of course could be used in conjunction with other types of lighting. The attractive vaulted ceiling means you will be looking up at it so you don't want to be blinded by spotlights pointing down and remember you'll occasionally need to change bulbs so whatever you install make sure it is accessible. Depending on how you decorate and furnish the room you could consider a variety of lighting that works from the floor upwards. I think we are too often stuck on the idea that lights have to come down from the ceiling. They don't. Hope that helps but will be happy to discuss further. Best wishes, it looks a super project.

Example here. Our 1950 terrace has 2.3m ceilings on the first floor, so when we took out the smelly old hardboard, we decided to sacrifice half of the attic to gain about 70cms height and paint the joists offwhite. I was just hanging our curtains when taking this photo, which are actually the same color as the ceiling, but sunlight makes them look yellow. So my suggestion is to add some interest to the ceiling (or a canopy bed?), as 4m is quite a lot when lying in bed. Oh, what also helps is a (slightly) darker ceiling.

our revamped kitchen will have a vaulted ceiling which we wish to light with a light strip (as well as pendant lights). We have used `Phillips hue elsewhere and like the flexibility of this. but not sure we can get this in the length (approx 2m x 4m) and whether there are more appropriate alternatives. many thanks
