Hello everyone, I am currently planning the spotlights on the ground floor because we are getting a concrete ceiling, and I’m unsure whether there are enough spots or too many, and if the arrangement makes sense. I would be very grateful for any tips.

Avoid this in the living area unless you plan to live in a medical practice. Consider a lighting design that suits a single-family home and is not intended for commercial use.

Why a medical practice? Too many irradiators?

First, draw the furniture exactly to scale. Consider the positions for decorations, mirrors, pictures, etc. Only then can you start with the planning. Don’t forget the exterior lighting.

Because usually you want a cozy atmosphere in the living room. Spotlights produce very focused, rather cool light, hence the comparison to a medical practice.
I don’t have a single spotlight in my living room. Wall lamps, one ceiling outlet, and then there’s also a floor lamp.

Am I correct in understanding that you have only marked the spotlights? No other outlets or lighting?
I don’t understand the arrangement in the dining area at all. Is something crossed out there now?

Above the dining table, there will be a ceiling lamp (where a spotlight is crossed out), and in the bay window, wall lights will be installed on both the left and right sides. Everything should be connected to a dimmer switch, so a cozy atmosphere can easily be created. However, when full lighting is needed, the entire area should be well illuminated. The question now is, is this too much? Would fewer spotlights be enough to light everything properly? Not so simple...
