Location of luminaires on a stretch ceiling

Light is the basis for the perception of any room. With the help of lamps you can visually change the size of the room, raise or lower the ceilings, hide repair defects, zonate the room, etc. And the ability to integrate spotlights into stretch ceilings gives designers more room for interior design. After all, located in the center of the chandelier will leave the corners of the room unlit, and the correct arrangement of spotlights on the stretch ceiling will help to get the desired effect.

How to arrange the lamps on stretch ceilings?

Which luminaires to choose for stretch ceilings and how to place them depends on the purpose of the room, its size and the desired results. The most common variants of the arrangement of luminaires for these or other premises are:

  1. In the living room, which in most cases is quite large, the chandelier is centered, and the spotlights are evenly located in the corners of the room.
  2. In a small hallway, stretch ceilings with lamps located along the perimeter create the illusion of spaciousness. Well, if the dimensions of the room and the height of the ceilings allow, then the chandelier in the center will not be superfluous either.
  3. The bathroom should also be lighted evenly by spotlights. In this room, you can make a certain light accent in the so-called working areas.
  4. The bedroom does not need bright lighting. Therefore, the optimal solution will be the uniform placement of several point scattered light devices throughout the entire ceiling area. And you can arrange the fixtures behind moldings or cornices.

But do not forget about security. After installation of luminaires on tension ceilings has certain limitations in the design of the light source, its distance from the base ceiling, and also in the power of the lamps used.
