Ceiling lamps

A ceiling light sits flush against the ceiling. It suits low ceilings (under 2.50 m), hallways and bedrooms, and never gets in the way. A pendant hangs lower and creates a focal point above a table or an island. In a living area, you can combine a ceiling light for general lighting with a pendant light above the table.

For a room of 10 to 12 m², a ceiling light 30 to 40 cm in diameter is enough. From 15 to 20 m², go for 40 to 60 cm. Beyond that, choose a large model or several light points to avoid dark corners.

Allow about 100 to 150 lumens per m² for a living room or bedroom, and 250 to 300 lumens per m² for a kitchen or bathroom. A dimmable ceiling light lets you switch from bright light to a softer mood. Wattage and colour temperature are listed on each product page.

Ultra-slim LED ceiling lights stay discreet and blend into any interior. For more character, natural wood warms up a bedroom, stone and travertine bring a mineral look (STINARIO collection) and rattan filters a soft light (NATURA collection). Coloured or geometric models brighten up a home office or a child's bedroom.

An LED ceiling fan combines lighting and air circulation: handy in summer in a bedroom or living room. It fits on the same ceiling outlet as a ceiling light, with no extra socket. Allow at least 2.30 m between the floor and the blades. For more tips, read how to cool your home without air conditioning.
