Are no ceiling lights in small rooms a problem or no big deal?
I'm starting reno on a 5 room unit that was once gaslight. 3 of the smallest rooms, the larger two being 70 sq ft, have no overhead lights. 2 have a wall sconce with a built in switch. My impulse was to wire in ceiling lights and wall switches, but then I remembered that I haven't been in a hotel room with a main overhead light in a long time. They're all accent & table lamps. So ceiling light is apparently not considered an absolute requirement. Should I let this one go?
