Living room
Whether you're curled up on the sofa with a good book or a TV series, or entertaining guests, the living room is one of the most used rooms in the home, so it’s important that the atmosphere is just right. Use a variety of lamps in your living room to create different zones and a cosy, relaxing space.
Light up the living room
The living room is used for many different activities, be it relaxing, working, or playing, all of which require different kinds of light. Using a selection of lamps to illuminate the room in different ways will allow you to have the best possible light for each activity.
The right light
Layer your lighting with different zones and different heights to give the best atmosphere.
Light up the living room
Choose a pendant to provide general lighting, while floor, table and wall lamps can provide more specific lighting for different tasks and areas. Perhaps a floor lamp by the sofa, for reading, and a table lamp in the windowsill to create atmosphere and highlight the architectural features. If you’ve got a small hobby or working space in the living room, you may like to add some downward directed lighting in that area.
Lighting in interior design
Fix the lighting and you will not only change the impression of a room, but also make it more comfortable. The best result is obtained by combining the use of light with the use of colour.
Light Matters
Just 15 minutes exposure to natural light is enough to trigger the release of endorphins and serotonin, also nicknamed ‘happy hormones’. Read more about why light matters.
