And once again the advice ... mark your housing plan, especially in the kitchen. The spots drawn there appear more than unmotivated and are supposed to illuminate exactly where?

One more completely different piece of advice: finally stop talking about "spots" when you actually mean (recessed) spotlights, which can definitely produce a broad light. Whether you design them as LED panels or rather as smaller round spotlights is a matter of taste.

On the subject of dimmers: I would always do it, and if necessary, ask a more capable electrician who does not spread such nonsense. Of course, if it’s supposed to be done properly, it usually costs more than the standard 08/15 super cheap China sockets with GU10 bulbs, but it’s worth it. Basically, I think you can get by with the number of spotlights drawn in (plus wall lamps, floor lamps, other ambient lighting) if the spotlights are chosen correctly. For example, we have on about 50 m² (living/dining) "only" eight dimmable recessed spotlights (four living, four dining), which have enough power and a wide beam angle. With this, you can make it cozy, normal, or really bright—depending on the need.

The advice to draw in all the furniture and then plan can only be emphasized either way.

We plan to realize the basic lighting dimmable via recessed spotlights and are still looking for suitable models. K1300S, which have you installed? Alternatively, a track system.

Thanks in advance!

You should take a look at the company Illuxtron. They have quite a lot on offer. :)

A spotlight with a wide beam angle Thank you! To the OP: Light is an essential factor for well-being. If you arrange the ceiling lights like that, you will rarely use them.

But not from above. A cozy atmosphere is achieved, among other things, through eye-level lamps, but not from lamps that come from above. For general lighting, spotlights are too expensive. An electrician installed spotlights for general lighting in our bathroom as well as in the bedroom. One every meter! In the bedroom, a table lamp would have done the same job.
Regarding the plan: in the kitchen, you cast shadows in the work area if no additional task lighting is added (which should be sufficient).
The same applies to the office. A lamp would be useful in the cloakroom. In the dining area, it should be on the line of the hallway but would conflict with the bay window, so it’s out.
In the living room, a spotlight that illuminates everything is generally sufficient in case you are looking for a marble, plus one or two floor or table lamps and accent lighting while watching TV.
