Looking for lighting ideas for stairway in gallery

Hello!

I am looking for ideas for accent lighting on an open staircase and hallway.

From the hallway in the basement, we go up a one-sided open staircase to the upper floor or the gallery.
As the main lighting, we have normal ceiling lights hanging down about 2 meters.

Now I would like to have some accent lighting on the staircase and maybe also in the hallway.
For example, to go to the bathroom at night, or to go at night from the living room on the ground floor to the bedroom upstairs without activating the main lighting, and also simply as accent lighting.

I was somehow thinking of up/down lighting or LED spots.
Maybe something that stays on permanently (then LED).

What options are there regarding the choice of lamps?
Maybe someone also has a nice idea of what could be installed where? :)

Pinned a rough sketch.

We are using rotatable LED spots with 1 watt for our open staircase (also gallery and upstairs open living room). Unfortunately, the light bulb has not yet been delivered (we are still waiting). If we like it, there will be a circuit with 2 accents in the hallway (left and right on a wall), 2 spots that should shine upwards onto the ceiling in the living area, and 2 more by the staircase as well as one on the gallery. They are then supposed to collectively illuminate the "escape route" from the bed to the kitchen or simply be on when it is cozy or when you quickly want to go upstairs to the bathroom. They could also be turned on during absence. There are plenty of lamps! It’s a matter of taste. I googled for LED spots, but halogen with G10 can also be converted to LED :)

Hi YPg,

thanks for the info.
Did you use 230V LEDs or ones with a transformer?
How do you want to install the spots?

Perhaps an interesting idea would also be a designed niche at the staircase, where a figure or decorative amphora or similar is indirectly illuminated. It just must not be too small in order to receive enough light.

Hi YPg,

They are not recessed spots, phobos, they are small cubes that can be rotated and can be mounted on the wall or ceiling. I find lights that look like lamps and that you can touch nicer than just round things that shine. Transformer? No idea, I'm blonde :o

Thanks for the tips. A niche is not really my favorite, that's probably not going to happen.

And ypg, I don't accept the statement "I'm blond." You've already written enough sensible posts :rolleyes:.
