The living room is where you entertain and relax: good lighting makes all the difference. Pendant lights, floor lamps, table lamps, and wall sconces combine to create various atmospheres depending on the time of day. Wood, brass, glass, or black metal: each material brings a different identity to your decor.

How to light a living room well?

A successful living room combines several light sources rather than a single point on the ceiling. A pendant light or chandelier provides general light and sets the tone of the decor. A floor lamp by the sofa creates a reading corner, and wall lights or a table lamp on a console warm up the room in the evening.

Which light for your living room?

With a low ceiling, choose a flat ceiling light and add accent lamps. In a large living room, a chandelier or a wide bamboo or glass pendant structures the space. With no ceiling outlet, rely on plug-in floor lamps and wall lights.

Which style to choose?

Natural materials such as wood, ceramic or travertine create a warm, Japandi atmosphere. Vintage designs and glass add character. Keep a common material or colour between your lights for a harmonious living room.
