Bathroom lighting rules. tips for choosing luminaires

Criteria for choosing lamps for the bathroom

There is such a variety of lamps with a wide variety of characteristics in lighting stores that it is easy to get confused and make a mistake when choosing. Below are the most important criteria that bathroom lighting fixtures must meet.

Lighting fixtures in the bathroom must be highly moisture resistant.

The main requirements for bathroom fixtures:

• Environmental friendliness. The main thing is to make sure that no substances harmful to health and the environment are used in the manufacture of lamps.
• Energy saving. Halogen lamps are not only not the safest for our health, but also consume more energy than LED ones.
• Durability. Modern manufacturers make lamps from durable materials. Often on the shelves of the store you can find a device made of glass or metal. Also, crystals in LED lamps, compared to others, burn out much less often.
• The minimum dose of radiation. The lamp should not heat the furniture and the suspended ceiling, and when you are with them for a long time, and your eyes should not start to hurt, dry, or, conversely, watery.
• Variety of choice of color illumination and the ability to adjust the color temperature and brightness of the light. This feature is presented in the higher price segment, but it is definitely worth it. But even LED lighting, like everything else in the world, has its drawbacks, which cannot be ignored.
• Price. This is by far one of the most important factors when choosing lighting. But if you look at this drawback from the other side, it becomes clear that the price of the lamp quickly pays off. A one-time investment in LED backlighting is no match for the monthly replacement of cheaper lamp equivalents.
• Resistant to moisture and temperature extremes. Obviously, the bathroom is damp, which can negatively affect some lamps, so be sure to consider the level of water resistance when purchasing lighting elements.

How to organize lighting in a small room

Designers use diffused lighting to visually expand the space. Correct lighting of a small dressing room:

• no need to illuminate mirrors, central lighting is enough;
• it is better to abandon the chandelier, ceiling lamps will be the best solution;
• in a compact dressing room, bright lighting causes discomfort, it is preferable to use soft, diffused light, close to daylight;
• for a small room, ceiling lighting is recommended, evenly distributed around the perimeter, a less functional light source located in the center.

General recommendations for room lighting

Devices of different types are used for lighting. More traditional are chandeliers. According to the method of fastening, they are subdivided into suspended and overhead. The first ones are mounted on a hook, and the second ones on a bar.

Chandeliers also differ in the following parameters:

• the size and number of shades;
• shape (extended downward or flatter);
• the direction of the horns (looking at the ceiling, towards the walls or floor);
• material (metal, glass, crystal, fabric, wood and their combinations);
• colors and styles (classic or more modern).

Another type of lighting fixture is spotlights. They are smaller than chandeliers in size and angle of radiation, therefore they are often used in groups. According to the type of fastening, there are overhead and recessed into the ceiling. Some have a swivel mechanism (pivot or flex bar) that allows you to change the angle of inclination. Such devices are called spots.

Spotlights of all types are combined with chandeliers or used separately. They also vary in shape, color, material and design. Some overhead models even have pendants, like chandeliers.

When planning lighting, take into account that it is divided into different types with their own requirements for each:

• general - unites the entire room, maintains an average level of illumination;
• additional - enhances the brightness where it is needed (in the working area, for reading, etc.);
• accent - highlights interior items, works of art, etc.

The chandelier is intended for general lighting. Point devices, depending on the number and location, are capable of performing all tasks. But for additional and accent lighting, other types are also used - table lamps, wall sconces, LED strips.

Spotlights have a limited angle of propagation of the luminous flux, this must be taken into account when planning the location. In working areas, the backlight must be placed in such a way that the light is not obstructed by the human body.

Spotlights and overhead chandeliers are attached to the site, which is installed in advance. After mounting the canvas, a hole is cut in it, having previously reinforced the PVC film with a thermal ring, and the device is installed. Therefore, the location of the luminaires on the ceiling must be planned in advance.

There are several types of light bulbs on sale:

• incandescent lamps;
• halogen;
• luminescent (energy saving);
• LED.

It is advisable to use the last two types with stretch ceilings. Halogen and incandescent bulbs are very hot and can damage the canvas. Only low-power ones can be installed (no more than 40 W for film ceilings and 60 for fabric ceilings).

It is also important to ensure that the housing does not overheat and does not tear the web. Because of this, you cannot use luminaires with a metal base or sharp corners.

And the distance from the chandelier to the film should be at least 20 cm (and if the plafonds are directed upwards, then 30 cm).

Decorative lighting in the bathroom

If space permits, you can let your imagination run wild and add decorative lighting to the main one. It will give a special atmosphere to the bathroom, it can organize an intimate setting. Now you can highlight whatever your heart desires - the floor, windows, niches, steps, the perimeter near the bath. There is even a lighting built into the bathtub, but this is one of the expensive projects. You can install the LED strip around the perimeter of the floor and ceiling, which will create a unique effect. Ceiling lighting with the effect of a starry sky, installed in addition to one central lamp, will look amazing. With your own hands, you can make flashlights from shiny tin cans by making holes in the cans and placing a candle inside. They can be carried to different locations, thus playing with the lighting.

The main thing here is a sense of harmony, style, the presence of taste and imagination, then all ideas can be implemented with the best result. Or you can turn to specialists who will develop a suitable individual project for the bathroom, hide all the shortcomings and highlight the advantages, based on any area of ​​the room.

So, the organization of lighting in the bathroom is a rather interesting task and has different alternatives.

It is worth paying attention to it in order to achieve the best effect and the greatest comfort in a room so necessary for life.

Choosing the right lamps

The bathroom will require lamps of different markings, since some of them will be mounted closer to the water space, others - further away. Conditionally, the bathroom can be divided into 4 zones.

Zone 1 - distance up to 3 m from the sink and bathtub, where only steam or condensation acts on the light source. This area will require luminaires marked from IP 011.

Zone 2 - an area from half a meter to 3 m from the edge of the bath / washbasin.Products with an IP rating of 242 or more are suitable here.

Zone 3 - walls and ceiling above the bathroom. The area where streams and splashes of water fall. Here you need luminaires marked with IP 452 or higher, the power should not exceed 24 watts.

Zone 4 - walls near the bathtub, washbasin and inside the shower stall. In this case, a 12 W luminaire with IP 674 would be safe.

The size of the fixtures will depend on the area of ​​the bathroom. Often, more compact models are selected for this room, which are mounted in walls or ceilings. But for the aesthetic appearance of the working area, they make a choice in favor of curly sconces in the appropriate style direction, and spacious bathrooms can be completely decorated with a beautiful chandelier.

Levels of placement of lighting devices

The correct organization of light in the bathroom should meet the different needs of users. The basic principle that should be followed when placing lamps is as follows: the light should be bright enough, but not blinding or intrusive.

Modern designers suggest paying attention to combined lighting

Ceiling lighting of the bathroom is pleasantly complemented by the lamps located in the work area around the mirror, on the walls and behind the imitation window

To implement such an idea, devices must be placed at different levels. Depending on the level, lighting can be:

• Top (ceiling). The luminaires are fixed to the ceiling itself or directly below it. If the bathroom does not please the owner with its size, then it may make sense to limit yourself to one plafond, which is traditionally mounted either in the center of the ceiling or directly above the doorway. A spacious room is decorated with a whole constellation of spotlights or even a chandelier.
• The workers. A soft and diffused stream of light can be provided by an LED strip under the sink and around the mirror. Shelves with cosmetics and detergents, washbasin, etc. can be illuminated from below and other types of lamps. Light sources on flexible arms, placed on either side of the mirror, allow you to change the level of illumination and eliminate unnecessary shadows.
• Lower. This kind of lighting is rarely functional. It is usually purely decorative, widely used as interior decoration and aids in relaxation. In this case, light sources are placed under individual elements of the interior, for example, under the sides of the bath, at floor level or a decimeter from its surface.

The simultaneous or sequential switching on of lighting fixtures mounted at different levels allows you to create an atmosphere in the room that is optimally suited to the user's mood and the tasks that he has to solve.

Lighting design

When choosing lighting devices, pay close attention to the design, it should go well with all other bathroom fittings and complement it well. This section presents the most popular lighting design ideas

Lighting devices must fit into the overall interior of the room.

Correct arrangement of luminaires

The main source of light in the bathroom is most often a small chandelier, which is installed in the center of the bathroom or closer to the door.

If your bathroom has a curtain that protects the rest of the space from moisture when bathing, there may not be enough lighting in that area. Make sure that this does not happen.

The most popular are spotlights, which are perfectly combined with a stretch ceiling.They evenly illuminate the entire area of ​​the room and can act both as the main lighting and highlight some areas, for example, near a mirror.

If you combine all three options in the interior of the bathroom, this will be the perfect solution.

If the area allows, then you can combine several types of lighting fixtures.

Harmonious lighting design

When choosing a lighting design, be guided by the overall style of the interior. If the room is decorated in a modern style, for example in minimalism, then lamps made with a metallic effect look great. Well, if you have chosen a classic interior, then chandeliers and sconces will look great.

In addition to ceiling fixtures, wall-mounted lighting fixtures can be used.

Optimal type of lighting

The optimal type of lighting is certainly LED. It is absolutely safe for the human eye and health. LED strips and lamps are not much more expensive than halogen ones, but at the same time they serve many times longer and better. They are environmentally friendly and already non-working lamps are accepted at recycling points, which is an invaluable plus for people who care about nature.

Placement and level of moisture resistance

Please read the IP label before purchasing a lamp. The first number is the level of protection against dust (maximum value 6). The second number is the level of moisture protection (maximum 8). The third number is the level of impact resistance (maximum 10).

Luminaires with IP 452 marking will be a universal solution for the bathroom. Such lamps can be placed both directly above the bathroom and above the washbasin, on the sides of the mirrors, near the doorway.

LED Stretch Ceiling Lights for Bathroom

LED Strip Light. They are quite easy to use and economical. In lighting stores, you can find tapes that shine in one color (white, yellow, red, green, blue) or universal (all at once, the color can be customized). Also, a significant advantage of LED strips is the simplicity of their attachment to the surface. There is no need to mount anything in the wall or ceiling, there is already an adhesive layer on the tape. It will securely hold the pendant on rough, smooth, wood, plastic and glass surfaces. But you should carefully mark the space on which the tape will be glued. Because if you glue it crookedly, then after the second gluing it will hold on worse and may come off. But if you have a need to re-glue the LED strip, then carefully remove it from the surface and glue the double-sided tape. This inexpensive method will help prevent the tape from peeling off. LED lamps are another type of LED artificial lighting, which are much more expensive than LED strips, but they look more aesthetically pleasing. Some designers use it as their main light source.

Key features of the organization of lighting in the attic room

The organization of high-quality lighting directly depends on the type of attic room.

3> With sloping walls

Most often, the walls in the attic have a small angle of inclination. To illuminate such rooms, adhere to the following recommendations:

Lighting must be of high quality, and therefore more lamps are installed. In this case, you can use both wall-mounted and suspended ceiling devices.
If the attic room looks small, the light is directed to the surface of the walls. Thanks to this, the area of ​​the room will visually increase.
LED and halogen lamps are suitable for the attic with sloping walls

They shine in different ways, and therefore, when choosing, they are guided by the preferences of the owner.
When choosing lighting devices, you need to pay attention to style. They should fit into the design of the room.

Sloped ceiling

Some people find these rooms attractive because of their unusual appearance. It is more difficult to organize lighting in them than in ordinary rooms with straight ceilings. Sometimes chandeliers are installed in such attics. However, they will have to be abandoned, since they will take up a lot of free space and can ruin the interior. The ideal option is the installation of spotlights. It is not worth using lamps for general lighting, since they can visually reduce the area of ​​the room. Experts recommend installing 5-6 compact lamps, which are evenly placed around the perimeter.

There are several recommendations that will help illuminate an attic with a sloped ceiling:

if there are few windows in the room, lighting devices will have to be installed on the walls;
for installation on the ceiling, special lamps with a hinged mount are selected;
when choosing lamps for the attic, you need to pay attention to their shape so that it matches the overall interior.

Design secrets

The modern design of lighting devices involves almost any option for their installation. Today you can find options not only for the ceiling, classic arrangement, but also for floor mounting options. For example, when lamps with halogen lamps are installed in the floor around the bath or shower stall. The lighting of the mirrors in the bathroom will create a romantic atmosphere.

For a conventional ceiling, open-type lamps are mainly used, for hemmed ones - closed. Ceiling lamps are mandatory for general lighting in bathrooms. For a small room, one is enough. Due to the fact that there is a shortage of natural light in the bathroom, in cases where one ceiling lamp is not enough, spotlights are used. The direction of illumination can be adjusted and the illumination of almost all areas in the room can be achieved at a sufficient level.

For suspended ceilings, mainly recessed luminaires are used. The choice of the shape, color and design of the luminaires is carried out taking into account the general design of the room and personal preferences. The main thing is that the devices are functional.

Decoding of IP marking

IP marking can be found on lighting products. These letters are followed by 2 or 3 more digits. Each value means a degree of protection. By marking, you can find out how well the device is protected from dust, moisture, shock.

The second number in the row characterizes the protection from moisture. The rating scale is from 0 to 8. A value of 0 indicates that the product does not have any protection against moisture penetration. The number 8 indicates excellent protection against water ingress: moisture will not penetrate inside, even if the electrical appliance is deliberately immersed in water. The third digit in order is responsible for impact resistance. The rating scale is from 0 to 10. The higher the value, the stronger the degree of protection. The number 10 indicates that the luminaire body is completely protected from mechanical stress.

Types of bathroom fixtures

Today there are several types of lamps that can be used when lighting a bathroom:

• Incandescent lamps.
• Halogen lamps.
• Fluorescent lamps.
• LED lights.

An incandescent lamp is a popular product, widely known and used in everyday life due to its availability, low price and instant ignition. It does not depend on the ambient temperature, works silently, but still has some drawbacks. This is a relatively short lifespan - rated for about 1000 hours, and intense heat. It is not recommended to use it together with plastic shades, fabric lampshades.

Halogen lamp - has excellent light output, copes well with thermal radiation, will last a long time, can be used in spot lighting on suspended ceilings. They have a power of 220 V and 12 V. But they need to install a low-voltage transformer, and they also consume a lot of electricity.

Fluorescent lamps - are distinguished by a wide variety of light shades and are designed for a long operating time. But they can react to ambient temperature and voltage, and simply do not ignite. They also work with more noise than other lamps, and have a power of no more than 150 watts.

Fluorescent lamps

LED lighting - characterized by low energy consumption and long service life, is used for spot lighting of rooms. The only disadvantage is its high price - both for lamps and related equipment.

With any of these fixtures, you can create the right lighting in your bathroom.

Also, cold spectrum fluorescent lamps, which can distort what we see, will not work. It is necessary to focus on the spectrum of natural light, especially when you consider that in most bathrooms the lighting is predominantly artificial due to their distance from the windows facing the street.

Shades with stained glass will create interesting light reflections on the walls, which will add zest to the room.

Design Tips

Experienced designers can always tell you what kind of lighting for the bathroom is better.

It doesn't matter what size your bathroom is.

When organizing lighting, always use common sense, and then the aesthetic component.

• A win-win option is a ceiling lamp. Some aesthetes can hang a whole crystal chandelier in their bathroom.
• Bathroom wall lamps are striking in their variety. They are quite simple to use, you just need to think over the placement in advance. It is advisable to knead them evenly throughout the bathroom, leaving no dark areas.
• Reflective surfaces will create an additional lighting effect.
• Emphasis on the font. If you have a bathtub, then you can hang a separate chandelier above it, if there is a shower cabin, then there is a hidden autonomous lighting there.
• Choose a light range that is as close to natural as possible.
• Focus on pieces of furniture. This will be facilitated by spotlights, or LEDs.

Bathroom lighting scheme

The overall impression that your bathroom will make largely depends on the location of the light sources. Therefore, the lighting scheme for this room should become one of the constituent parts of the overall design of the project, even if we are talking about a tiny bathroom space in an ordinary Khrushchev.

What can we say about modern new buildings, the rooms in which are spacious and differ in the original layout. There is a place for the imagination to roam. Moreover, new design solutions, technologies and modern lighting devices provide such an opportunity.

When the bathroom is spacious and its ceilings are high, the designer's imagination has no boundaries and can work wonders.

The layout of the fixtures in the bathroom depends on many factors, including the following:

• the size of the room;
• location levels;
• breakdown into functional areas;
• the style of the interior and the color scheme of the room;
• selection of lighting fixtures.

All these factors can both contribute to the flight of design imagination, and return us to the realities of life. A professional designer involved in such work will certainly ask the owner of the room if he has a desire to visually adjust the bathroom space using the play of light.

After all, skillfully directed beams are able to "raise" the ceiling or jacuzzi, "lengthen" or "push" the walls.

Using lighting and some other design tricks and tricks, you can turn a small bathroom into a magnificent underwater kingdom.

Regardless of the scale of future changes, the highlights of the planned placement of lighting fixtures must be incorporated into the layout. Although it is possible that in the course of further work, adjustments may be made to it.

Placement of lighting fixtures in the bathroom

Options for placing lamps in the bathroom

Lighting planning needs to be approached very carefully, guided by the principle that there is never a lot of light in the bathroom. Even if there is a window with natural light in the room, care must be taken that there are at least two light sources. In modern bathrooms, the fixture points are divided into three main areas:

• overhead main lighting, which is used most often and is the main light source. For small bathrooms, it is usually sufficient to install one lamp with a shade on the ceiling. In more spacious rooms, you can arrange several built-in lamps around the perimeter or in the center:
• work or spot lighting is often used to provide lighting in a specific area. Such lamps can be located both on the wall surface and on the ceiling, but their directional light will not be concentrated on a certain area. A striking example is the mirror area, along the contour or on the sides of which light sources are located during personal cosmetic or hygiene procedures. This arrangement allows you to well illuminate the person and the work surface of the table:
• bottom lighting is used less frequently and is more of a decorative element than a functional one. Usually this type is used to lighten niches, steps or pedestals. With the correct layout and color of the lamps, you can create a cozy and romantic atmosphere for relaxation. It is mainly used for spacious rooms.

Lighting selection

With today's wealth of choice of lighting devices, anyone who makes repairs can easily select a model that matches tastes and preferences. The main types of lighting devices by the method of their installation:

• Open, overhead or suspended.
• Embedded or hidden. Suitable for small bathrooms with low ceilings.

All used lighting devices perform one or more functions:

• lighting of work areas (mirror, sink);
• main flood lighting;
• directional;
• decorative lighting.

Thus, you can select and combine types of lighting fixtures and lamps according to your taste and budget. The most economical in operation are now LED lamps. An LED strip can be used as an interesting design solution.

It should be noted that the lamp in the bathroom should be not only beautiful and economical, but also safe. LED devices fully meet these requirements, their only drawback is their high cost.

Choosing a bathroom lamp

Before choosing luminaires, it is necessary to determine the color combinations and decoration style of the room. The type of lamps, their design and installation methods are influenced by the number of functional spaces and the dimensions of the room.

Bathroom lamp

Bathroom appliances are divided into types.

• According to the level of location, you can choose among floor, ceiling, wall devices.
• Surface placement features are defined by open and inline models.

Functional zoning provides for spaces above a wardrobe or a mirror, a door or a bathroom, etc.

Different lamps are installed in the lamps.

• halogen;
• luminescent;
• LED;
• metal halide.

Standard incandescent bulbs are also popular.Depending on the scope of use, luminaires are distinguished for general use, with directional or decorative functions.

The choice of lighting fixtures is carried out in accordance with the color combinations of the room. In rooms with orange, red, yellow-green colors, lamps of warm shades of white can be used.

Cool interiors require LED, fluorescent, metal halide and neutral white lamps.

• color temperature for the gamut of green tones - 3300-4000 K;
• blue-green shades will need 4000 K;
• for rooms in blue tones, 4000-5000 K are required.

The main types of lamps and their features

Types of lamps for use in bathroom fixtures

The modern lighting industry offers a huge number of different types of lamps, which differ from each other not only in the level of safety, but also in design features, cost and connection method. Today in bathrooms such types of lamps as:

• incandescent lamp;
• halogen;
• LED.

Conventional incandescent bulbs are the most widely used products due to their low cost. Advantages include resistance to ambient temperature, ease of use, instant start-up without preheating. The negative indicators include low efficiency, short service life and high degree of heating. In this regard, such products cannot be used together with plastic shades or fabric openwork.

Examples of fluorescent lamps for luminaires

Halogen lamps are characterized by a long service life and an intense light output with a relatively small size and power consumption. Often, such products are used in spots that are embedded in suspended ceilings or niches. Such lamps are produced for voltages of 220 and 12 volts, which significantly expands the scope of their application.

LED lamps can be called the most economical and most progressive products that are gradually conquering the market, displacing their counterparts. Although these lamps are relatively expensive, their lifespan, if properly used, can range from 100,000 hours or more. In addition, their energy consumption is significantly lower than analogs with a high luminous efficiency, which allows significant energy savings. Products of this type can have different shapes and colors, sometimes they are even produced in the form of a luminous ribbon, which serves to decorate the room.

Features of installation and connection

Lighting fixtures are installed on a concrete slab or under drywall. Before starting work, turn off the power supply on the dashboard. Preliminarily, the points at which it is planned to install the lamps are marked. Then, the installation of the power line is carried out. In the bathroom, you need to install wiring hidden in the wall or under the drywall.

A plafond or a spherical lamp is usually installed on a concrete ceiling. The luminaire is mounted on a plate using fasteners. To connect electricity, you need to connect the ends of the cable to the terminals of the lamp. A light bulb must be screwed inside the plafond. At the very end, you can turn on the light, check the quality of the lighting system.

If you plan to put drywall in the bathroom, then the cable is laid before the sheet is installed. For better insulation, the wiring is hidden in a corrugated tube. The ends of the cable are led out to the installation point of the lighting appliance. A hole is made on the plasterboard for the diameter of the lamp. When installing the device, the ends of the cable are connected to the terminals. The luminaire body is mounted using a bracket. A light bulb is inserted into the socket.

LED lighting can be mounted on any surface.First, you need to outline the location of the luminaire, and then measure the length of the LED strip. Then connect it to the power adapter observing the polarity, insert the wires into their sockets. For fastening, you need to remove the protective film, and then press the tape to the surface.

Interesting ideas

An interesting solution is the use of two-position lamps. It is necessary to approach very carefully to the choice of installation site light sources in the bathroom, if their location and direction of light are incorrect, irregularities in the walls or ceiling can be highlighted, as well as unnecessary shadow zones can be created. Lighting in the bathroom should be shadowless, and this is the main criterion for the placement of fixtures. Another good economical solution is to install independent switches for the luminaires of each zone.

Some expert advice based on practice:

1. Lighting should be shadowless, uniform and diffused, while the rule applies: the power of each source is less, the more their number.
2. Due to the competent distribution of the luminaires, each functional area should be illuminated.
3. To avoid glare, it is necessary to position the luminaires at an angle to reflective surfaces, the light should not fall on them perpendicularly.
4. Placing one light source above the mirror is another common mistake. This arrangement distorts the reflection. It would be more correct to place light sources from two sides or from above and from two sides at the same time.
5. An interesting solution is to create color spots using colored shades or ceramic tiles. Do not use this solution near mirrors as the reflection will be distorted.
6. A non-standard and original solution would be to use an LED strip as a light source. Those who like to experiment should like the following placement options: under the windowsill, under the side of the bath, and so on.
7. A functional and economical solution would be to install independent switches for each functional group of lamps, there is no need to turn on the lighting near the mirror if you just need to wash your hands.

Choice

The procedure for installing stretch ceilings and fixtures does not take much time compared to the choice. The design of the room, height and width must be taken into account. If the dimensions allow, then built-in spotlights are added to the chandelier, and then the room will be as illuminated as possible.

If the ceilings are low, then a small chandelier with standard bulbs is suitable, as long as their power is no more than 45 watts. The light should be directed downwards, not towards the ceiling. Often, for this option, an LED strip is chosen, which is hidden at the joints.

For small rooms, experts advise installing spot or track lights, since this lighting allows you to achieve the effect of increasing the space with the help of light. When choosing devices, you should check the quality and integrity of the structure, otherwise there is a risk of the stretch ceiling snagging on the chipped lamp body.

The lamps are also selected for the general geometry of the fittings in the room. If all objects are round, then angular devices can violate the general concept. The choice of lamps should be based on the practicality of the stretch fabric. With the fabric option, the search increases because the fabric can tolerate the heat from the light bulbs. With PVC, luminaires with a lower power are needed. Preferably halogen or LED.

Surface-mounted lights for small bathtubs

Some people find it difficult to decorate small baths. I would like to give the room a beautiful look, but there is not enough space for everything that I want to place.

Similar thoughts are generated with regard to lighting.If the area of ​​the bath is less than three square meters and the base of the ceiling is concrete, only one surface-mounted lamp can be placed on the surface.

Fortunately, there are original design ideas when a lighting fixture can be installed on a small area of ​​the ceiling surface and make it one of the main items of the interior.

The main thing is to take into account the color scheme of the walls and floors. One option is to position the lamp in the center of the stenciled pattern. The drawing is applied with moisture-resistant paints.
