I curiously open the CAD drawing for the next project… and the ceiling filled with light sources appears.
It must be because I’m already afraid of it, but it’s the first thing I look for, and if I find it, it gives me OCD.
Lighting design in luxury homes must not only be functional but must be subtly integrated to enhance the architecture and furnishings without stealing the spotlight. Current trends focus on non-invasive solutions that provide sophistication, comfort, and energy efficiency, eschewing quantity in favor of quality. And the ceiling filled with light sources is the complete opposite.
Are you an interior designer or architect and still afraid of leaving the room dark because you don’t have enough light sources?
Well, let me give you four free ideas that work like a charm, are super-tested and proven, and that, if you see them in action, will definitely take away that fear of using too few lights in your project:
✨ LED strips in dark spaces: Play with different ceiling heights and install them in recesses, baseboards, or behind architectural elements to create an indirect lighting effect that adds depth and warmth without dazzling. It creates immersive atmospheres.
Recessed micro-projectors: Their minimalist, frameless design blends completely into the false ceiling, providing light without visual interference and focusing it only where it’s needed. Ideal for highlighting textures, works of art, or furniture. It’s incredible how models like the Laser Blade work, which don’t even dazzle when you pass under them.
Recessed spotlight tracks in false ceilings: If you can’t handle that, join them. Open up the ceiling, install a black background, and a track with spotlights of that color inside. You’ll combine flexibility and design, breaking away from the plain ceiling, and allowing you to adjust the lighting to suit the needs of the space. Ideal for open-concept living rooms and kitchens.
Floor lamps: A timeless classic. Plug them into outlets that work with the room’s switches or home automation systems, so you can combine them with other lights. You’ll create warm ambiances and illuminate the corners where it’s truly needed.
Has what I’ve told you been of any use to you? Do you have any other ideas? Will you finally overcome that fear of not filling the ceiling with circles? ✨
