Lighting the living room in a new building. Looking for tips on implementation.

Hello everyone,

I need your help once again. Currently, our shell construction is being completed and we are having the first talks with the electrician. What I am currently struggling with is the lighting of the living room. Actually, we don't want a traditional living room lamp but rather indirect lighting. I had looked at a cove lighting with LEDs and integrated spots. However, I don't find our living-dining area optimal for that. In my opinion, it also doesn't look good if the "light circle" on the ceiling doesn't close, if you don't plan all the way around, but only in the couch area.

I also don't want to work entirely with spots and a suspended ceiling. I have attached the floor plan. I hope you have some tips for me.

Above the dining table, of course, a separate lamp is planned.

Basically, I don't yet know what to tell the electrician regarding the connections. Ceiling outlet, wall outlet above the couch or in the corner of the room for the spots and a cove.

So, a lot of text, but I hope you can still help me. Thank you.

The living room does not have gigantic dimensions now... Theoretically, simply 3 outlets are enough. Middle kitchen, dining table, and living room table. That would be sufficient in any case. I wouldn’t have planned spotlights here. At most to highlight something on a wall... Behind the TV, lighting could still be planned. A classic choice here is probably an LED strip...

Think in 3 categories:

[*]General lighting = how do I illuminate the room?
[*]Task lighting = what light do I need where for which activities?
[*]Ambient lighting = how do I feel comfortable in which place in the room with which light.

This will lead to having more light sources than necessary, but will also contribute to quality of life.

General lighting - LED panel light, flat, diameter 60-80cm, dimmable, 0-4000 lumens, remote control, color matching the ceiling, Accent lighting - from the power outlets

Also:
Basic lighting: have central ceiling outlets installed in the kitchen, in the living room, and above the dining table.
Task lighting in the kitchen through light strips under the base cabinets or similar.
Socket outlets for floor lamp or table lamp on the sideboard.
If desired, surface-mounted spotlights for accents, say 3 in a row under the couch, at the TV or in front of the window. However, I consider that completely overrated. But it is gladly accepted if you want to treat your soul to something. Personally, I wouldn’t do it and would invest the savings in a stylish pendant lamp above the dining table.
P.s, I would have insisted on a door at the front of the kitchen!

Thank you, that helps me a lot
