Living room lighting is the heart of your home’s atmosphere
The multifunctional nature of living spaces places high demands on lighting. Instead of relying on a single ceiling light, combine different lighting types and levels. This allows you to create the right atmosphere for every moment – from everyday living to special occasions.
Create a base lighting level by complementing natural light. For daily use and cleaning, a general lighting level of around 100–200 lux is sufficient. Avoid flooding the space with uniform light – instead, create depth and character with multiple light sources that can be controlled separately.
Indirect lighting is both atmospheric and comfortable for the eyes. It can be easily created with LED strips placed on shelves or even under a sofa. Spotlights help highlight features and décor, while portable lamps such as table and floor lamps add both function and flexibility, for example as reading lights.

Layered lighting adds depth and character
A well-designed living room lighting scheme includes several sources:
• ceiling lights or downlights for general illumination
• floor and table lamps for ambience and functionality
• wall lights and LED strips for indirect lighting
• spotlights to highlight décor
Multiple light points bring the space to life. Make sure each can be controlled separately.
Lamps as part of your interior design
LED lamps can also act as decorative elements. Full glass bulbs, large globe lamps and vintage-style Edison bulbs look striking on their own, even without a shade. Visible LED filaments add a distinctive visual touch.
The tone of the glass also matters – clear, amber, smoke or opal can all influence the look and feel of your space.
LED lamps suitable for interiors:
- feature full glass designs
- look decorative even without a shade
- can be dimmed to instantly change the atmosphere
Flexible lighting for every situation
Living room lighting should adapt to your needs:
- Bright general lighting for everyday use and cleaning
- Soft ambient lighting for relaxation
- Focused lighting for reading and highlighting details
- Use dimming or smart lighting to easily adjust the mood
