Tips for lighting your home in 2026
Whether you’re completing your new build home or rebuilding, we’re here to take the stress out of one of the final decisions; lighting. There are a LOT of lighting options available and it can be tiresome when it comes to the crunch with your final decision – that’s where we come in. With careful consideration on ceiling height, size of your room, there is a lighting solution available at maxlite.ie.
For A Vaulted Ceiling
If you went for a vaulted ceiling with spotlights and are looking for pendants to place above your kitchen island, you’ll need to have a pendant with an adjustable chain to ensure your desired hanging height is attainable. We have a multitude of singular pendants with glass shades at Maxlite Lighting & Interiors. With an adjustable chain, a vaulted ceiling won’t be a problem. Check out our Calum lights, now available in Antique Brass, Chrome & Heritage (Dark) Gold. Calum pendant lights are available in two designs, a rounded, dome shaped shade or a flattened globe, drum shaped shade. They’re also available with a clear glass shade or a smoked, charcoal shade. The choice is yours.
These are our Calum pendants in the smoked glass finish above a recent customer’s new breakfast bar, how cool does it look? The kitchen lighting here is accentuated by some under cabinet spot lights which will create effective mood & task lighting. As can be seen, the Calum Pendants are complemented by the e27 filament exposed bulbs within, a warm white glow which will create a relaxed, ‘cosy’ vibe.
Lighting your living room
Living room lighting decisions are normally straightforward; it’s all down to ceiling height and room size (and personal preference!). We have a variety of Flush & Semi-Flush ceiling lights available, as well as multi-bulb pendants available for living rooms. Have a look at the Infinity Flush LED Ceiling light in a customers home below.

Bathroom Lighting – LED Mirrors
Bathroom mirror with light – When it comes to lighting the bathroom, we recommend an LED Mirror. Our range of LED Mirrors caters to provide light to most bathrooms. We have all shapes and sizes available, from 500x700mm all the way up to 1400x700mm (for large sinks). Have a look at this customer’s brand new bathroom, which they completed with an 1000x700mm LED Mirror. See our 600mm Round LED Mirror below, ideal for smaller sink spaces.
If you have a larger space and need something bigger, then we recommend our 1000x700mm LED Bathroom Mirror or the even bigger 1400x700mm LED Bathroom Mirror. With colour-changing, touch button On/Off, built-in de-mister pads and built-in bluetooth speakers.
