Lighting a room without a ceiling light? It's possible!

May 16, 2023

You notice that there's no electrical wire on the ceiling of your new room, no worries, on the contrary this is a reason to rejoice : the most beautiful lighting being that which comes from several sources at once, rather than simply turning on the light, you hold the power to illuminate the room!

Contrary to exclusive ceiling lighting, which often seems cold, diffuse, impersonal and unwelcoming, you have here an opportunity to combine light sources to generate a warm, pleasant atmosphere.

It's all about angles, radiance, positioning, balance and harmony between spaces by playing on:

  • general lighting, which covers the entire area,
  • point lighting, diffused over a specific area,
  • and decorative lighting,

The combinations of warmth and elegance are endless, for every taste, for every style, from the most designer and contemporary to the most classic, for each of your rooms!

To better dress up your environment with light without a ceiling fixture, HOOPZI therefore proposes to light up your lantern, with a few practical tips. For successful lighting, above all, indulge yourself and above all don't hold back!

All lighting ideas are good, no light source prevents the other from existing, they combine and blend perfectly together.

Make a ceiling light without a ceiling light to light well

First of all, if you were really keen to have a ceiling light and its zenithal lighting, you should know that without a hole in the ceiling, you can imitate the ceiling light. The most obvious solution is to bring a cable to the middle of the ceiling, hidden under a rod painted to match the surrounding color, and install a suspension, wired or fixed. For this, a remote suspension is what's best.

You can also integrate the cable as a decorative element and leave it exposed.

Hoopzï offers a wide range of linen braided yarns in different colors and lengths for this purpose.

Not only does this exposed-wire technique prevent damage to moldings and avoid unsightly trenches, but it offers a warm, contemporary touch, a plus in aesthetics that can be played on in a multitude of ways : color, length of pendant, hook shape and design, etc.

Portable lights: a real solution

For alternative solutions to the real ceiling light (or, as we've seen, the fake one!), focus first on portable lighting options that you can plug into electrical outlets, usually reserved for accent lighting of one part of the room.

There's an infinite range of choices, from rolling lamps to floor lamps to wall lamps, desk lamps, suspension lights, string lights, bedside lamps and many more, which can illuminate your space elegantly without resorting to a traditional ceiling light.

By fleshing out your lighting with additional sources, you can achieve a luminous intensity similar to that of a ceiling light, while creating a warm, friendly atmosphere with indirect lighting. This option, softer and more subtle than using a ceiling-mounted fixture, will also add an elegant and decorative touch to your room.

How to reproduce zenithal lighting?

There are alternative solutions for reproducing what's known as "zenithal lighting" generally provided by ceiling lights, that is, light coming from above, like that of the sun.

In a home or office, zenithal lighting provides both great comfort in terms of luminosity but also all the benefits of natural light.

To replicate this direct lighting, you can, for example, choose large-scale fixtures, such as offset floor lamps, which can illuminate high up and away from walls.

Wall sconces, with telescopic or extra-long arms, can also do the job.

This is important for practical reasons, but also for the decorative aspect of zenithal lighting, ideal, for example, in the living-dining area.

Some wall sconces, lamps or floor lamps with adjustable heads can also, directed towards walls or ceiling, provide beautifully crafted indirect lighting.

Adapt brightness to the room or its purpose

Locate areas needing more light or requiring special illumination, the reading light in the reading corner in a living room or a bedroom, for example, or the wall light above the mirror in a bathroom, then multiply around these areas with indirect light sources, combining originality of colors and materials.

In addition to generating a soft ambience, without a ceiling light, these so-called "secondary" fixtures are essential for optimally lighting the interior space.

After that, identify the so-called comfort zones for lighting of the same name: the relaxation area near the sofa, the TV corner, relaxation or work area, for example.

Ideally, provide some of your fixtures with dimming and color temperature devices, for a varied, rich and subtle visual rendering.

While taking care of the decorative function of your luminaires, essential accessories to your interior design, it's crucial to harmoniously marry the aesthetics of the fixture with the right light quality.

In fact, successful lighting results from the perfect combination of a decorative luminaire, and a luminous rendering that meets the requirements of each space.

So play with different light sources: direct, indirect or decorative, for the most inspiring and effective lighting.
