Follow These Tips to Shine Your Living Room

The living room is a space where people engage in conversations, reading, watching TV and other activities. In such a room where people spend a lot of time, the concept of layering light is very important. Instead of using recessed down lights, a lot of interior designers are using LED light bulbs to bounce off the ceiling. This avoids unwanted shadows and creates a good sense of brightness in the room.

 

To have ambient light in the living room, you can integrate valance lighting in the room’s structure. This is best achieved by adding a LED light behind a bookcase or an entertainment unit. You have a wide variety of dimmable bulbs available at lightingever.co.uk with different beautiful colours that showcase a warm appearance. As long as you remember, how classy your home looks depends on getting the right colour to showcase a room and with the dimmable options of LEDs, you can change the function based on your mood.

Another way to have great lighting in the living room is to wash the walls with light. You can achieve this by directing the lights towards the walls or by using a plug in floor trochees.

When it comes to task lighting, a reading lamp with a LED lamp will work wonders. These bulbs not only give a warm light with a rating of 2700K, but also at an affordable rate. Using 85% less energy than incandescent lights, you can also smile all the way to the bank.

 

You can use accent light to focus on an architectural piece in your living room. Whether a painting, sculpture or a plant, up lights situated on the floor can give you the desired look. Moreover, track lighting can help focus artwork on the wall.

 

If your living room is large, get two valances on opposite walls and let the light run along the length of these walls. To get a complete artistic effect, have one LED bulb at a fireplace and another on a table lamp next to a chair. With the technology advancing, you do not have to worry about using too much energy with all the bulbs. You can even add versatility by having a dimmer instead of a wall switch.

 

One other vital consideration is the paint of the room. Light colours reflect while dark colours absorb. A room with a dark finish cannot simply feel light and thus the colour of the paint in a lighting tool as well. But with high quality LED bulbs from Lighting EVER, fix this problem and have your room be the talk of the town with long lasting and eco-friendly lights.
