EG:

- So you mean the kitchen is okay like this?
- In the living room and dining area there are hardly any spots. Above the piano, one accent light for the fireplace and on the one column in the living room)
- Hallway area: Overdone? Do you have an idea how to do it with fewer spots so that it’s still sufficient but also looks good?

Do you have concrete ideas for the [OG]?

I regret that I accidentally replied here after all. Because I feel like I am all alone here in the forum with my lighting planning. Why? I let myself be influenced by the mainstream and had spots installed in the bedroom and bathroom. Homogeneous lighting. I regret it, don't like it, and don't need that light. The kitchen is the same: spotlights that are never on. You don't need ceiling lighting when working; you need direct light at the workstation. This applies to the kitchen, office, as well as reading lamps by the bed and sofa. The rest is indirect light via floor, wall, and table lamps. You need ceiling light when you want to illuminate something, like in the hallway, dressing room... yes, also in the kitchen and bathroom and children's room... everywhere you are productive in several areas of the room. If the kitchen is large, it makes sense to have general ambient lighting plus task lighting. But apparently lighting planning is also a matter of taste, as many light sources nowadays are coupled with the fixture. If you like the couple story that much, then go ahead. But accents and eye-catchers should be used sparingly. Otherwise, the wow effect quickly fades. Think carefully about when you want to have it, that is, ceiling lighting, turned on.

In my mental cinema, a very strange film is currently playing: a living room ceiling riddled with spotlights, all turned off, four sockets in the corners were converted to control (all unplanned, subsequently acquired) floor lamps from switches next to the doors. At night, when everyone is asleep, the floor lamps tell each other lame jokes about recessed spotlights.

With us, the ceiling spots in the kitchen were determined by the [küchenplaner] ... that was great, he knew how to best illuminate a countertop, etc. ....
