I need your attention and some brainpower!
We had a wall outlet installed in the bathroom for accent lighting, connected to a light switch. The plan was to build a drywall (gypsum board) shelf along the sloped ceiling, continuing the cladding (top left in turquoise), so it flows seamlessly. Behind it, a simple LED strip would be installed to cast light evenly across the entire surface. The area is 210cm long (83 inches).
We are hesitant to implement this because of the roof slope and the joins—it will probably turn out crooked and uneven here :p
Do you have any other ideas?
Maybe there are ready-made fixtures available?
I currently have a 25% Paulmann coupon through Sovondus, but I’d rather let it expire if I can find something creative and affordable at the bookstore or elsewhere.

Is this the correct word or a typo? I had to delete the post following your comment, unfortunately.
This is not a spelling mistake; just try running it through good old Google 😉

Bieber081518 Jul 2016 22:02The deleted post included a URL to a well-known online encyclopedia (without a hyperlink). In any case, you can find the entry for "Voutenleuchte" there. It seems to be useless knowledge, as the specialized “shopping search” in a leading online search engine — on my end, where search results are generally somewhat personalized — yields no results.
Still interesting, and it reminds me of the missing under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen. That’s also a type of cove lighting that is needed there.

fach1werk23 Jul 2016 09:18Indirect lighting can be placed behind almost any surface that allows light to escape at the edges or through the surface itself. This means it doesn’t have to be mounted flush. You might want to imagine a piece of frosted glass held by mirror clips. I once saw something like this in onyx with a gold frame in the home of someone who loves opulent design, quite impressive.
If it’s an LED strip, it’s worth considering heat dissipation and possibly mounting the light strip on something that can conduct heat away, especially if it’s enclosed.
Glare-free lighting is important; two different heights need to be taken into account since it will be viewed from a seated position in the bathtub.
I wouldn’t use any decorative elements, as this could make the wall appear disproportionate.
I might also try digitally adding a nice downlight into the photo. Under a downlight, I’d consider placing a beautifully proportioned display piece, like a sculpture or a plant—something meaningful to you.
Enjoy designing!

...so if a strip of drywall is simply cut at the right angle, it won’t end up crooked or uneven.
Inside, you can then glue an aluminum profile from the hardware store and attach the moisture-resistant LED strip on it.
Lighting directed upwards carries the risk of highlighting any irregularities.
Spotlights, as Gabriele suggests, are also a good option. There are very small ones available. However, since such narrow tiles are already installed, this might look too busy.
