Living Room


The living room. The family room. The great room. No matter what you call it, the best route to the look you want is to map out how you’ll use the space.

Living Room Lighting Ideas


How a living room is utilized will help guide how it should be illuminated. From layered ambient light to intentional focal points, the right fixtures can elevate both form and function of the space.

Illuminating the Living Room

Cast an Inviting Glow

Decorative light brings a special warmth into a living room. You can cut the glare and soften the shadows. That side table or end table that you adore? Give it the attention it deserves with a pendant or pendant cluster. Need to clear the air while shedding some light? An indoor ceiling fan might just do the trick.

Highlight Favorite Features

Sconces on either side of a bookcase. A light above the painting or sculpture, and maybe on both sides of it. Your living room is your living room. Nobody else’s. That’s why it matters to take the time to light it right and draw attention to what one loves most in a home.

Create Calm

Calming Aura is dim, warm-toned light that decompresses the mind and calms the nerves. To set the mood for relaxation, use sconces in a living room nook or under counter or toe kick LED lighting in the bathroom, and cue the exhale.
