Tell Us: How Would You Light This Room?

inkwitch Rope lights -- a la theater aisles, but more intense -- are good for 25,000 hrs. Strung along crucial lines could accentuate shape and provide light for dark nooks under shelves where clothes hang. Include a dimmer switch.

Sheila Schmitz Thanks, Inkwitch! If you have time, would you mind adding your idea to the original question page? Here's the link: http://www.houzz.com/questions/22087/

Rebekah Zaveloff | KitchenLab What a great idea and post! Sconces flanking the door and 2 pendants on rods meant for angled ceilings flanking the skylight. And then a few table lamps for sure.

terrydenham have the same room but the door is on the slandde wall would like some ieda to

Michael J Cox sconces flanking door, or supended low profile track with directional mr17 lamps washing both door wall as well as sloped portion?

revathi well for this room- i wud like to have specification as- whether its a kids room or its an antique, or is it a underground room or its on terrace- if i get these details i can suggest u the best options and in addition to it if its a east facing room or east facing window or west.....or any room available next to this room or its open to sky? Please let me know?

Denise Vilim I think a monorail lighting system might be a good option here due to its versatility. The monorail can be mounted from the ceiling or wall. Pendant and spot lamps can be added, are interchangable and can be placed according to the lighting needs of the room. If the room remains a closet, any pendant lights can be swapped with directional spot lights to free up overhead space and there would be no need for wall lamps that might take up shelving space. Likewise, if converted to a bedroom, table or accent lamps can be easily added to provide addtional lighting.

YLighting is a good source for monorails.

katie check out MESH architecture pipe lighting - may not be the look you are looking for but I think they are a great lighting idea!!!

Cathy I would put a track system - modern cable style along the flat part of the ceiling and then add a chandelier from the slope between the skylight and the flat ceiling (as long as there is enough height). I would also add wall sconces on the door wall or end walls - would prefer the end walls as it might be less predictable. But that does depend on windows and usage for those walls.

tanyam I am not sure what the highest point of the ceiling is and lowest, but pendant lights might work as well with sloped ceiling housing, it all depends on the height, but it will difficult. http://www.cooperlighting.com/specfiles/pdf/shaper/SH_IP_461A_042738_SSSx.pdf (this is just an example, it doesn’t’ have to be contemporary)
What I would do is install square downlights (tired of round ones) with IC (insulated ceiling) rated housing.

And wall mounted lights on both walls.

That is if you are going to use it as a bedroom.
For closet, again downlights and wall mounted simple fluorescent, which you can replace with nicer fixtures later on. Place J-box in the middle of the usable wall space.

Elizabeth Cable lighting

sacapuntaslapioz I would add a solar tube (tubular skylight) with an incorporated light (check velux). then the space would have a day and a night light and you get energy credits.

TARA HATLEY Use an indirect source to bounce light of ceiling and/walls. This us a great, versatile LED option that can mount to the wall or ceiling. Combined with wall sconces you can layer the light for ambiance with function.
