Need urgent help for my living room layout

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

Hi! Here's my situation: My renovation is starting in a day's time, but out of the sudden I feel very insecure about the layout/design the longer I stare at it. Here is my lighting/layout/false ceiling plan :

Hope to get some suggestions or reassurance by you guys : Concern 1 - The living room only have 5 12W downlights. Not sure if its bright enough or if its oddly numbered. I can seem to fit another one in as well. Concern 2 - The cove light seems to be cutting into the dining area. I'm not someone who can visualize well so I'm not sure if it will be alright. Concern 3 - Cove light/false ceiling is extending out to the rooms corridor, so my ceiling speaker and down lights are straightly aligned with the corridor. Would really appreciate some last minute input :)

Hi 4evazx,

I believe that you had given your designer a good and clear brief of your wants and needs and discussed all details with your designer.

Your designer has done a great job as i can see from the floor plan and lighting layout.

Trust your instinct and have faith in your designer.

The only thing i would recommend is that you get your 12w downlight at 4000k. This is a natural daylight glow and is great in apartments.

Do post pictures of your apartment when its done. Enjoy the process.

maybe a high upholstered banquette directly across from the kitchen? It will create a nice definition of space and can fell very luxurious. A banquette is also a great space saver. and often seats more people than a standard chair at a table If you use a long pedestal table you can slide it under the seat of the banquette when not in use. That leaves a wider path for you to get to the living room area by the windows.

Hi yoyo188, that's a very detailed plan! Looks fine with me, except I have a concern regarding the dining area. (The following done with Houzz Sketch function!) Just wondering if some of the guests at the dining table might potentially be facing the shoe rack? Not sure which you prefer, but I'd either reposition the shoe rack or the dining table: Regarding the proximity of the dining table to the kitchen, I like referencing the following Houzz Tours: [https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-infusing-the-popular-scandi-theme-with-local-flavour-stsetivw-vs~84802854[(https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-infusing-the-popular-scandi-theme-with-local-flavour-stsetivw-vs~84802854) [https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-this-flats-defining-style-is-streamlined-and-cosy-stsetivw-vs~86080574[(https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-this-flats-defining-style-is-streamlined-and-cosy-stsetivw-vs~86080574) [https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-finally-a-scan-dustrial-home-that-is-different-stsetivw-vs~85725844[(https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-finally-a-scan-dustrial-home-that-is-different-stsetivw-vs~85725844) But that's just my opinion, let me know what you think?
