Knowing how to light your living room is really important because it is one of the hubs of family life in your home and one of the rooms that you will spend most time in.
It can also have relatively complex lighting requirements so making sure you know how to light your living room properly is vital before you buy any new lights.
We have put together our top three tips on how to light your living room, which you can read below.
How to light your living room – tip 1
The living room is often one of the biggest rooms in your house and this means that you have the freedom to use several different fittings in order to create atmosphere and style.
Why not try introducing table lamps, floor lamps, wall lights, spotlights, LED candles, chandeliers or silk shades, for example?
This creates layers of lighting which allows you to change the ambience and highlight specific features in your room at different times, depending on the situation, occasion or time of year.
How to light your living room – tip 2
Use more elaborate or decorative pieces as design features in their own right. This means things like designer table lights, contemporary ceiling lights and, of course, chandeliers.
Chandeliers are much more affordable now than you would ever imagine and are no longer just for the wealthy.
They come in all shapes and sizes and, perhaps more importantly, all budgetary requirements, so you can find a stunning centrepiece for your living room.
How to light your living room – tip 3
