In plain sight

To achieve a luxurious look, try recessed ceiling lights to zone a room from above. ‘They both celebrate the ceiling and set the theme of the room,’ says Charu Gandhi, founder and director, Elicyon. ‘The lights have a dynamism which gives the ceiling its own character.’ Highlight this space further by finishing the scheme with a statement pendant or chandelier – there should be plenty of light from the recesses but this will add extra interest to an otherwise blank space, as well as allowing you to layer the lighting level when desired.
