In order to choose the right lighting for a living room, don’t forget to take into consideration the size of the room, the color of walls, carpet, floor as well as placement and number of windows. A living room is very often connected with a kitchen, that is why it is necessary to make sure, that lights in both rooms match.
For low ceilings choose attached luminaires – chandeliers for a living room
A key component of every living room is a chandelier or a ceiling light. If you have a small-sized living room and low ceilings, we recommend attached chandelier or attached ceiling light. They provide enough diffused light and they also visually enlarge the room. Some attached ceiling lights are controlled with a remote control, which allows you to set various colorful lighting.
Chandeliers are more suitable for a spacious living room with high ceiling. Chandeliers will greatly stand out in the middle of the room as well as above a coffee table. And what chandeliers are the most suitable for a living room? It depends on your taste, but it is also good to keep in mind the overall design of a living room. Simply put, this will prevent the luminaire from sticking out like a sore thumb, on the contrary, the luminaire will perfectly fit in interior and will take your living room it to the next level. Thus, if your living room is furnished in ancient style, we would recommend you rustic luminaires, rattan luminaires or stained glass luminaires. If you prefer a modern style, designer chandeliers is a good choice. On the other hand, those of you, who love luxury, will surely be satisfied with crystal chandeliers. However, pay attention to the size of the luminaire. The bigger the better does not apply here.
Suspended ceiling lights to create an atmosphere
Spotlights have lately become very popular for more spacious rooms. They will impress you with the design and a great benefit is also the fact, that you can direct some spotlights to different parts of the room, so there won’t be any dark spots in the room. On the other hand, suspended ceiling lights are rather used to create a pleasant atmosphere and to light up the interior. Suspended ceiling lights are sometimes also called recessed lights. Very popular are LED suspended ceiling lights, which are very energy-saving with low operational costs, yet they do wonders in an interior.
Only one luminaire simply won’t be enough in a kitchen nor in a living room. Therefore, what other types of luminaires are suitable for a living room? We recommend floor lamps for relaxing in an armchair or for reading. We offer a wide range of floor lamps, some of them are dimmable and some can change colors. You can also purchase lamp stands and then, according to your style, you can purchase lamp shades. Another type of light suitable for a living room are table lamps, which will be particularly handy in case you also have a working corner in a living room.
LED strips behind TV
There is a TV in a living room in most of the households, therefore, it is also advisable to have some luminaire near a TV. The reason being that great contrast between dark space and TV glare is bad for your eyes. And what light is suitable for placing near a TV? Again, we recommend a floor or table lamp. It is important to make sure that the light is not mirrored on TV as well as that the light does not obstruct your view while watching TV. Nowadays, LED lighting behind TV is very popular, that is why LED strips could help you to light up space around your TV. Moreover, some LED strips are also dimmable. Opt for LED strips with maximum power 40 W and with warm light.
As we have already mentioned in the beginning, the goal of right lighting in a living room is to match lighting with an interior as well as to highlight the beauty of your living room. Therefore, if you are groping in the dark a little bit and you are unsure of what luminaires are the right for you, we recommend that you purchase the luminaires from the same product line. If you want to save money, we recommend you to buy economical sets. That way you get light sources and suspended ceiling lights at a lower price than if you purchased individual luminaires.
