Spot lighting devices
These devices provide directional lighting, and you can adjust the angle and radius of their operation yourself.
Such lamps will help to emphasize accents in the interior, for example - panel or paintings, or become the main source of light in the room, if you choose lamps with a large dispersion angle. The most productive in this regard are incandescent lamps - they give 360 °.
This is a logical choice if you have low ceilings or need to constantly rearrange furniture.
Luminaires and LED panels
This is a relatively new type of lighting fixtures, in which they install LEDs. In terms of thickness, such lamps take only a couple of centimeters. Now on sale there are also models, the thickness of which is no more than 7 mm.
The people call these lamps "pills". They have only one drawback - they cannot be repaired and will have to be completely replaced in the event of a breakdown.
LED strips
Another modern type of lighting is LED strip. The thickness of the strip on which the LEDs are mounted is only 1 mm. This tape is mounted in baguettes to create diffused light. This type of lighting is fireproof and easy to install. If desired, you can choose a warm or cold shade of light, or even use tapes that can switch in a wide color spectrum.
The tape is also suitable for illuminating work surfaces or as an interior decoration.
How to choose lighting for the type of ceiling
If you have concrete ceilings and a modest finishes budget, overhead fixtures are the best choice. You can lay an LED strip around the perimeter of the room.
For stretch ceilings, everything is not so simple. If you want recessed luminaires, then mortgages will be required for them, and this is an additional cost. Incandescent lamps are contraindicated in this case, but halogen and LED lamps are possible.
Suspended plasterboard ceilings suitable for tie-in, since there is a space between them and the base in which you can hide both the wiring and the base of the lamps. The only limitation is the weight of the fixtures.
What additional light sources to use in a room without a chandelier
A variety of lighting scenarios are a convenient addition to a modern interior. You can use additional light sources to create a romantic, festive or work environment. And the chandelier is completely unnecessary here. In addition to the ceiling light, multiple wall lights can be installed. They can spotlight paintings or a chair where you used to read before bed.
Interesting options can be achieved by using lighting above the floor. Here you will find floating furniture, illuminated stairs and many other interesting solutions.
If you design a work area, then without a convenient table lamp there is no way to do it.
In short, it is very possible to live without a chandelier. A few more examples of ceiling design without a chandelier in this video:
