Most wet rooms here  are prefab panel units that get installed in a single morning. Pretty foolproof.

I need a new chair for reading but I can't find anything I like. I looked at The Chair (Eames) but it's A) way too expensive B) The Chair Anybody have any suggestions? I'm planning on using it as an accent so it doesn't have to exactly match what I have now. The most important thing is that it's comfortable to sit in for a long time and it doesn't look like IKEA-level trash (aka my current chair)

Looking for a light recommendation. It's a north facing wall, one large window to the north, a smaller window to the west. Vaulted ceiling in half of the room with a tongue and groove ceiling, the other half has a 9 ft ceiling that is white tongue and groove and beams. There is currently 3 wall lights that are ugly and floral style and two matching boob lights in the white tongue and groove area. The ceiling fan provides fairly poor light. I'm looking at something like this : https://www.roomandboard.com/catalog/lighting/living-room-lighting/cedric-wall-sconce My concern is the room needs more light, but I don't want to go overboard. Ideally I'd have another large window to the north, but it's not in the budget. I'm currently removing the wall covering (tongue and groove) and installing drywall. It'll be a light/forest green with wood trim.  That is not our room, but the look we're going for.  That is the room, or part of it at least.

I'm a bit confused - the second pic is your house, but the first is not? Where exactly would this light be going, and what would be it's main function? What other lighting would be in the room? 800 lumens isn't too bright so I wouldn't be too considered about it being overwhelming. You can always get a dimmer anyway. 800 is around what you would expect in a small to medium pendant if that's a helpful reference point at all. The lowest I've ever seen online is like 450 lumens. And 2700K is pretty soft. actionjackson fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Jun 5, 2021 |

Okay. I just need a bit more info to understand - what are the dimensions of the room, what other lighting will you have besides these sconces, and how many sconces would you be putting up? would it be three just like there are now, and then two replacement ceiling lights? I think the style would work fine with the trim and color scheme you mentioned

Yes, it would have the three sconces, two replacement boob lights, and the ceiling fan. Maybe a floor light down the road as well.

That's a huge room though so I'm sure it will be fine. For reference kitchen lighting tends to be in the 1600-2000 lumen (total) range at 3000K.

What are you planning to use this room for? That’s going to be a big factor as a work area, reading space, or tv watching space all need different kinds of lighting anyway from the pic you posted there’s a boob light (flush mount) in an area with a low ceiling that’s further lowered and divided by beams. That’s basically guaranteed to create weird, uncomfortable shadows and uneven lighting. I’d take it out entirely and add a couple more wall sconces instead. Ideally i’d have them evenly spaced around the perimeter of that half of the room for nice even area lighting, and then add a floor lamp or table lamp on an end table next to a couch to provide some spot lighting for reading. If this is going to be a work area you could do cans instead but i think they’d be too harsh for a cozy space like that, but it depends how you want to use the room. For the other half of the room with a higher ceiling, you could add another flush mount if you’re into that, or alternatively 9ft is high enough to hang some pendants off a track which i think is a really nice solution for a room with high ceilings. You get very even, bright light from 360° sources hanging in space and it feels much less impersonal than a high up flush mount or can light. You probably won’t need much more if you go this route but you could certainly add a couple wall sconces or floor lights as an accent.

The current boob lights do make weird light and we really haven't decided what to do in that area. Possibly a couch/reading nook, but I'm not really sure to be honest. We've only been in the place for 3 months. I like the pendant idea, we have a ceiling fan in there now but the light isn't great out of it.

I like the pendant idea, we have a ceiling fan in there now but the light isn't great out of it. Gotcha. At least from a lighting perspective i think it makes sense to treat it as two separate rooms instead of one, since the different ceiling heights really call for different treatments. You could even divide the space physically with a bookcase, curtains, or movable divider but there are ways to make the lighting work without doing that. If you want the room/s to be multipurpose it makes sense to add more light than you think you’ll really need and then have some way to turn it down when you’re in relax mode; you can do this with dimmers, or by having wall and ceiling lights on different circuits, or go all in on smart lighting. I’ve got hue bulbs in a few rooms for this and while i wouldn’t miss color lighting, it’s really nice to be able to change the white temperature, especially while working from home. Warm white or even soft white really bugs me during the day, especially if i’m using it to supplement natural light from a window, but having daylight bulbs on when you’re trying to unwind at night isn’t ideal either.

I have a relatively small island in my kitchen (IIRC it's 26x40). There's a fluorescent light fixture above it. I want to replace it with something nicer, but the island is too small to be able to use hanging lights. I also really like the amount of light that the current fixture throws, it just happens to be ugly as poo poo. Any recommendations? Do I just figure on high hats?

I've used these in kitchens before and it gives decent light. Kind of non descript, which i appreciated. There's one with black too (around the top part facing ceiling) https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/nymane-led-ceiling-lamp-white-30359771/

If it's not relatively centered over the island it's going to bug the poo poo out of me. Also I was hoping for soemthing in the 4K range, because right now I really like the amount of light that the florescent fixture throws, I just hate the fixture itself.

There's color temperature (in Kelvins) and brightness (in lumens or watts). The suggestions I got for a kitchen ceiling light were 3000K, and at least 1600 lumens. There are a few lights out there that have adjustable color temperature.

The fluorescent light throws a brighter white light that brightens up the room pretty great at night. However none of those fixtures are obscenely expensive, so I could at least install one of them and see how it looks and just repurpose it somewhere else if I don't like it.

A lot of these flat LED fixtures have temperature settings on them, too, so you can often times just open the light again and set it warmer or cooler.
