Using LED Lighting For Your Living Room

The living room is one of the places for people to spend relaxing time after work or spend quality time with family and friends over the weekend. Hence, the lighting in the living room should be flexible. With a modern and well-thought out lighting plan, you will have the chance to transform your creative ideas into reality. The best thing is, you can save energy while relaxing with LEDs as well.

Here are some of the recommended lights for illuminating your living room:

Ceiling lighting to brightly illuminate the whole space
Atmospheric backlighting includes pendant lights, floor lamps, LED strips, and wall lights
Decorative accent lighting meant for precise illumination of certain areas by LED spots
Working light for brightening targeted areas or spots at home, such as for puzzle solving or reading on the sofa

LED Light Sources for Comfort

It is recommended to use a LED ceiling light for the living area so that you can illuminate the entire lounge if you want. This could be a single panel that includes many integrated lights, a classic hanging light, or several spotlights that you can be strategically adjusted. In a L-shaped or large living room, it is a good choice to integrate specific individual spots in the ceiling. They will allow for optimal illumination of the whole room. One tip is to use dimmable LED lights as you can adjust the level of brightness depending on your preference.

In the evening, the huge ceiling light is usually turned off. The lighting for the living room now shifts more towards comfort. Having low hanging pendant lights, a decorative table lamp, and a floor lamp in the corner, can help to provide warm light. You can also use a small sideboard or a round table to turn an empty space in the living room into a creative decorative island of light. If you have paintings or pictures on the wall, you can also attach a light either below or above it to illuminate it subtly at night.

When planning for the LED lighting for your living room, do pay special attention to how many sockets there are. If needed, you can use extension leads or battery-operated lights as they can be hidden discreetly behind furniture.

With modern LED lights, you can bring your creative ideas to life in the living room. Here are some recommendations to help you create your ideal space:

You can design an all-purpose living room with various moods if you use LED strips that change color and run along shelves. Whether you prefer a soothing green, seductive red, or invigorating orange, they can all be controlled with a remote control or app.
Individual areas can attract attention to specific decorative items like woodcarvings or your antique floor vase.
If you want to create a perfectly coordinated backlight, you can use either corner spotlights or dimmable wall lights.
With modern technology, you can use either an app or voice command to control the lighting of your living room. Impress your guests by activating backlights on the walls or soaking the entire room in a dim orange just by saying a few words.
