LIVING ROOM LIGHTING DESIGN
living room lights
Appropriate living room lighting design is the making of a wonderfully comfortable room.
Poor lighting can be depressing whist brighter but correct lighting can be energizing and uplifting.
This is one of the most important ingredients for the success of your living room lighting design.
Take time and be very patient when choosing your lighting.
If you are choosing permanent fixtures such a spot, wall, floor or ceiling lighting, it is vital to get the positioning right the first time.
Changing these fixtures at a later date could be very expensive.
Natural Light
- Natural light can be one of the best features of the room.
- Always arrange the room with a good understanding of the way the natural light travels around the room.
- Check if the natural illumination of the room would be usefully improved by introducing a glass panelled door rather than a solid door.
Artificial Light
- Artificial light is used when the natural light is no longer bright for the life’s needs.
- Every room needs a combination of different types of lighting such as general diffused lighting, directional lighting for specific tasks and accent lighting for specific light needs such as reading.
There are so many different types of lighting to choose from.
Spot Lights, Accent Lights, Up Lighters and Down Lighters Halogen and Candle Light and more!
- Spotlights allow you to focus the light in a particular place.
- Accent lights to high-light plants, flowers, art works and sculptures
- Lights with dimmer switches
- Uplighters lift the atmosphere of a room and good for low and sloping ceilings
- Downlighters diffuse the light over a large area
li>Candlelight Take care but gentle and romantic
- Halogen lighting often fitted with a dimmer switch can light up a whole room.
- Reading lights required for small print
- Task lighting directional light concentrated on one area
- Concealed lighting can give a gentle light
Whatever lights you choose, try to offer various forms and strengths of lighting so you can match the mood and the requirements throughout the 24 hours of the day and night.
