Living Room Lighting | Living Room Lights
Whether you call it a living room, sitting room or lounge, there’s no denying that this space is often the heart of the home, where family members congregate every day to socialise, watch TV and play games. On top of this, it should also be a cosy, welcoming room where you can relax, reset, read and chill out for some peace and quiet in your own comfortable surroundings.
Whatever you use your living room for, it’s important to have both functional and ambient sources of light that will be able to handle these multiple demands, do your décor justice and highlight favourite features. It’s likely that one light won’t be sufficient to meet the needs of a much-used lounge, so we recommend a main ceiling fitting to illuminate the whole room in combination with one or more of the following:
- Wall lights for extra general lighting and to give ambience
- Floor lamps for area lighting
- Table lamps for accent and task lighting
Ceiling lights to create or accent your living room theme
For optimum effect, lighting in the living room should be used in varied combinations. Even when not in use, the right decorative and stylish light fittings will enhance your overall design aesthetic. We offer a wide range of colours and finishes, think chrome, gold, silver, antique brass, black and satin nickel, to perfectly match your door handles, sockets and switches or complement your furniture and décor scheme.
For a traditional look, we offer elegant crystal chandeliers and candelabra fittings in finishes such as satin nickel, cream gold and silver, guaranteed to deliver a touch of showstopping grandeur. Or why not try our stunning Library pendant light with opal glass shades and antique brass arms to bring a dash of vintage-inspired glamour to your space. A classic semi-flush ceiling light in antique brass and white glass or a small semi-flush crystal chandelier will look equally impressive in a living room with a lower ceiling.
If you prefer a more contemporary vibe, consider a smoked glass pendant light, an intricate, intertwined, banded or ring LED fitting in polished chrome or a matt black and copper twist design to create an eye-catching feature. A dramatic multi-light pendant drop makes a fantastic focal point in a larger living room, whilst an industrial or geometric light fitting is a sure-fire way to achieve a modern vibe. If glamour is your thing, it couldn’t be easier to add a touch of glitz with an ivory and crystal ceiling pendant or an extravagant cascading light design with crystal detail that refracts light around the room.
Many ceiling lights are dimmable to give you flexibility in switching between bright illumination and cosy ambiance, and with new generation LED and Eco Halogen bulbs, running costs are much lower than ever - particularly if these are used to replace existing halogen GU10 bulbs. And don’t forget that different light bulbs have different colour temperature and lumens that can also impact the mood and atmosphere of your room.
Lovely lamps for area, accent and task lighting
You’ll be spoiled for choice with our brilliant collection of floor and table lamps, ideal for lighting up different areas of your living room and available in all manner of shapes and styles. We offer everything from industrial inspired tripod spotlights to Scandi style black rustic rattan, contemporary smoked glass, curved LED designs, traditional shaded standard lamps and opulent crystal lamps reminiscent of a baroque chandelier. Many of these are available in ‘light family’ options so you can perfectly match your ceiling, wall, floor and table lamps for a gorgeously cohesive vibe.
A giant arc floor lamp with a large domed shade and exaggerated arc adjustable height frame, is sure to make a striking statement whilst also providing ambient illumination and makes the ideal reading light for a cosy corner of the living room. A table lamp with a colourful shade on a sideboard or occasional table is an easy way to update your décor and can make a fabulous focal point. Our Flamenco pink ceramic lamp will add an eclectic pop of colour to any scheme, especially when paired with a bright magenta shade to complete the look.
