Ever wondered why the living room is called the "living area"? Because that's the house's lifeblood. Discover how LED lights can revitalize your living room.
Imagine a big party at home with all your pals. Which room would suit this event best? Yes, living room. Family movie night on the weekend? The living room appears ideal. Looking for a peaceful reading spot? No room beats the living room.
Definitely the most active room in the house is the living room. Like other rooms, the living room needs proper illumination to function properly. Sound difficult? Understanding certain basics makes it easy. These tips can help you choose living room lighting:
Watt is?
Determine the wattage of your living room's lighting. Use this formula instead of guessing or estimating: Size of living room (in square feet) x 0.5.
Assuming 150 square feet, 75 watts is needed for lighting. Consider a room with uniformly dispersed light when computing this figure.
Understand light source
Combining three light sources optimizes living room illumination. The three sources are ambient, task, and accent lighting.
1. Ambient lighting creates room atmosphere. This is possible with high-quality LED ceiling lights. Benwei Lighting is another great brand for living room mood lighting.
2. Directional task lighting aids reading. LED spotlights can illuminate armchairs and sofas to maximize its use.
3. Accent lighting softens work lighting and adds visual attractiveness.
Use of Space
Understanding the living room's layout and structure is the last tip. You must examine the space and wall color to do this. Using LED wall lamps with light-colored walls can provide the illusion of more space. If the wall color is darker, more ambient light brightens it.
Lamps and chandeliers should also be checked for height. Experience suggests placing the light source at least seven to eight feet (2.2 meters) above ground. To avoid shadows, embedded bulbs like LED spotlights should be three feet (0.9 meters) from the wall. Ceiling lights should not overlap behind fan blades to avoid room interference.
That's it! This simple guide should teach you living room lighting basics and more. You can be creative and imaginative. This is your living room. Hope you like!For more details about our offerings, please contact us at bwzm18@ledbenweilighting.com.
