Living Room Lighting

The living room is one of the areas we spend the most time in when at home. We use our living space for a variety of activities, such as relaxing watching TV, reading, eating dinner, hosting friends and family.

The right living room lighting needs to meet the multitude of different ways that you use the room. For a multi-purpose space, multi-layered lighting can provide flexible options to suit each requirement and create the right atmosphere.

The three types of lighting which are needed for a living room are general lighting, ambient lighting and accent lighting. 

General lighting can be achieved by overhead illumination, such as a large pendant suspended from the ceiling or recessed LED luminaires. 

Ambient lighting can be introduced through dimmable bulbs, warm lamps, fairy lights, or shelf lighting. These subtle layers of light set the backdrop for ambience and intimacy. These additional pools of light can also be set next to reading chairs and side tables to allow you to read, write, complete puzzles and more.

Accent lighting highlights points of interest in the room, such as artwork, décor, or architectural features such as fireplaces or doorways. 

If you are going to spend lots of time in this room, the lighting needs to be just right for any occasion.
