Design without main lights (i.e., not using a central ceiling light) is very popular because it creates a modern and luxurious feeling. Therefore, many people when decorating their house often follow this trend.
However, when put into practical use, this design style is not suitable for every family or every space. Besides the aesthetic advantages, it also has quite a few obvious limitations.
High cost
To remove the main light, the electrical system must be designed more complexly from the beginning, with many auxiliary lights such as ceiling lights, spotlights, spotlights... This causes costs to increase significantly, even a basic system can cost quite a lot of money.
Making space easy to be low and cramped
Because fake ceilings must be installed to arrange the lighting system, the ceiling height will be reduced. For apartments that are not high, this makes the space become more cramped and cramped.
Inconvenience when using
The light system is divided into many light sources, which means there are many switches. In daily life, you can easily turn it on by mistake or waste time adjusting the light.
Easy to make unsightly mistakes if the design is not good
If the lighting arrangement is not reasonable, it will not only cost money but also make the space unharmonious and confusing. In fact, many designs called "no main lights" are just flat ceilings with a few lights attached, not achieving the desired lighting efficiency.
This design should only be chosen when the ceiling is high (about 2.9 m or more) and there is a methodical lighting plan, including overall lighting, spotlight and decorative lighting. Otherwise, when choosing lighting and decoration options for the house, it is best not to follow this trend because although it is beautiful, it may not be practical and costly.
