A single ceiling light fixture isn't always enough to cover all the lighting needs of a small space. For a successful ambiance, it's recommended to combine several light sources according to their function: general lighting such as a ceiling light, functional lighting with spotlights or a wall light, and ambient lighting via a discreet LED strip.

For example, you can combine a central ceiling light with the MONCEAU Mini wall light to illuminate a specific area, and complement it with an LED strip placed under a shelf for a subtle decorative effect. This play of overlapping lights optimizes visibility while adding depth to the room.
