Hi
Having a bit of work done at the moment on somewhere I bought. I was planning on installing recessed ceiling lights, but that's not an option due to depth at the moment. Instead I was thinking of putting a single ceiling light in - perhaps a fixture that has a number of spotlights, but I'm unsure whether it will be bright enough. Things are also complicated by the shape of the room.
In absolute terms its about 4m x 2.5m but its an "L" shape as the corner is missing.
The room will be used as a bedroom with the headboard of the bed either against the curved edge or the long side against the curved edge.
So in this room, what would you do in terms of lighting - up to two separate circuits if required. You have to use your imagination a bit, but the pics below (although making it look smaller than it actually is) should help.
