Lamps & Lamps for high ceilings


Lighting is a central component of any living concept. The better it is matched to the spatial conditions, the more it contributes to a harmonious, homely ambience in each individual room. Rooms with high ceilings pose a particular challenge when it comes to optimum lighting. This is why it makes sense to seek the help of interior design experts when furnishing rooms with high ceilings with lamps. One of the best options for this is the  Design Furniture Center LIVING BERLIN . In this article, we explain which lamps are perfect for high ceilings. 

Height-adjustable pendant lamps - a must-have for high ceilings


Lamps with a shade that sits directly on the ceiling often do not illuminate high rooms well enough. In addition, they quickly appear somewhat lost and do not manage to present the room in the best light. This problem is solved by pendant lamps  solve this problem. These lamps hang down from the ceiling on suspensions and lamp cables and can therefore be positioned more centrally in a vertical room, even with high ceilings. This means that the light is not lost at the top of the room, but can reach where it is actually needed. Pendant lamps are therefore a "must-have" when it comes to lighting rooms with high ceilings and can be used to create an extremely stylish setting.


Chic design elements: Multi-part pendant lights as eye-catchers


Pendant lamps are available in various designs. Single lights with just one light element are common, while pendant lights with several lights are also very popular. In most cases, each light has its own cable, allowing the elements to be attached at different lengths as required. In this way, the multi-flame pendant lamps provide maximum light, create a cozy, homely flair and look absolutely chic at the same time.



Tip: clever placement of vertical wall lights


In rooms with high ceilings, there are often wall areas that appear very narrow, especially in direct comparison to their height. "Dressing" these walls can be quite tricky. A wonderful option for this are vertical wall lights represent a wonderful option. These are lamps that emit light downwards and upwards, creating effective spotlights. Directly above or below these lamps, works of art and decorative elements, for example paintings or figures on delicate bar tables, can be shown to their best advantage. The indirect lighting directs the viewer's gaze so that the lamp does not appear randomly placed in the room, but is thoughtfully integrated into the living concept.

Lamps for high ceilings - The problem with the dining table


Lamps for high ceilings should be chosen carefully, especially in places where a large part of everyday life takes place and where good lighting is urgently needed. This applies above all to the  dining area  area. Unfortunately, standard pendant lights are often far too short to be hung above the dining table in a visually coherent way that is suitable for everyday use. Extra-long pendant luminaires are therefore required for this purpose, for example ones with cables that are longer than the usual maximum length of 1.60 meters. Above tables with two to four seats, it is usually sufficient to install a single-lamp pendant luminaire. From the fifth seat upwards, however, multi-flame pendant luminaires with at least two lights are recommended.

Large luminaires are therefore an attractive option, especially in rooms that could do with a real eye-catcher. Whether single-flame and simple, extravagant and multi-flame or asymmetrical and modern: Large lamps are an enrichment for any furnishing style with high ceilings.

Conclusion: Stylish furnishing with lamps for high ceilings


There's no doubt about it: there are truly easier things than implementing a suitable lighting concept for high ceilings. But with a little know-how, the courage to go big and an overview of the huge range of lamps available, rooms with high ceilings can be stylishly and effectively presented in the right light.
