tldr; need help finalizing my living/dining area lighting design. link with plan and pics below
I'm remodeling my condo myself and I'm trying to nail down the lighting plan. The main area that I'm concerned about is my dining room/living room space. I'm trying to lay it out so it's not too furniture specific... but I want to avoid just doing downlights in a generic grid. Seems like that's a recipe for boring and harsh.
My plan is to use wall washers (gimbals?) to add some drama, highlight art, and give the room an ambient glow. Then use some floor lamps to add some more ambient light and illuminate corners. Next use a few downlights where furniture is likely to be regardless of layout.
One of my big questions is how to address the dining room table lighting. Putting in a dining room "chandelier" forces me to put the table in that exact spot. But I'm worried that, without one, I'd need to use downlights which would make the area really harsh looking.
Here is a imgur post with my plan and some pics of the dining and living room areas. Would love to get your thoughts.
