ᐅ Room Layout Planning – But How? Challenges in Certain Spaces

Hello everyone,

I’m currently thinking about our plan for the recessed spotlights and am having trouble making progress.

Ground floor hallway: I’m not happy with the transition between the different “hallway sections.”

Upper floor hallway: The area behind the beam still needs to be integrated sensibly. Is there even enough light?

Basement hallway: Is the arrangement okay like this? Is the lighting sufficient?

Bedroom spotlights: The bed will be placed against the wall at the bottom of the picture with two pendant lamps hanging from the ceiling as bedside lamps. Do I even need 4 spotlights, or would maybe 3 in a row on the opposite wall be enough?

At the moment, I can’t find any solutions without covering all the rooms with spotlights...

Maybe someone has better ideas.

Without ceiling heights and the technical specifications of the spotlights, it is difficult to make any statements regarding the lighting coverage.
How did you come up with your arrangement?

Avoid spotlights whenever possible. However, they are useful in hallways, bathrooms, and kitchens.

Finished dimension 2.54m (8.33 ft). We can still choose the spotlight freely as long as it fits into a standard junction box. The arrangement is based on an initial drawing from us and then from the electrical company.

There was a time before spotlights, and fortunately, there will be a time after them as well. The latter has already arrived for some of us 😉

For example, put a nice ceiling light in the bedroom (no, not something outdated) or a modern double spotlight in the center. The same applies to the hallway.

You can definitely overdo this “filling every inch with lights” approach.

In the bedroom, I would avoid placing spotlights directly above the head of the bed, as they are unlikely to be used there. It’s better to install a row of three or four spotlights close to the wall or wardrobe front, depending on the floor plan. Light-colored walls have a greater impact on the perceived brightness of a room than a light-colored floor.
