Hello everyone,
I am currently at the point of choosing lighting.
So far, mainly DIY store lamps have been installed in my current apartment (which have served their purpose), but now I want to treat myself to something nicer.
Especially the hallway and the dining table (extendable from 1.60 to 2.40 meters (5.3 to 7.9 feet)) are challenging me.
For the dining table, I could imagine three Gople or Orient P1 lamps (although they would need to be combined).
Since the dining room wall will be painted dark blue (SW Belem), I think copper or bronze could work well here.
In the bedroom, I am considering an Artemide Pirce (mini).
A special challenge is the staircase area. There are three outlets: one above the landing, one at 5 meters (16.4 feet) height, and one at the terrace exit.
I have attached some photos. I have no idea what to do with these at all.
There are many beautiful lamps, but what makes them “high quality”? Or is it like with wine in the end: quality doesn’t matter as long as it tastes good (or it looks good)?
I don’t want designer pieces throughout the entire apartment (my budget won’t allow that), but if it really clicks, I’m willing to spend more.
Stylistically, I am very drawn to Occhio Mito, for example, but that would exceed the budget.
I have also attached a floor plan to help with assessment.
The outlets are marked with an X, as usual.
Looking forward to ideas in any direction.

We also have a Sento; I like it because it is unobtrusive and produces very nice light. I would like to have several of them; we’ll see if I want to afford that. My daughter has one from the Arrangement series by Flos above her dining table—delicate and discreet, which I also really like.
