Living Room Lighting

A living room needs light for every mood, from a bright evening with friends to a quiet one with a book. Build it in layers: a ceiling light or chandelier for the whole room, floor and table lamps for warmth, and wall lights for a soft glow.

How to Light a Living Room

Start with the ceiling. A pendant, chandelier or semi-flush gives the room its general light. Put it on a dimmer so it can go from bright to barely there.

Then add lamps. A floor lamp beside a sofa or reading chair, and table lamps on side tables, bring light down to eye level, which is what makes a room feel relaxed in the evening.

Finish with wall lights or picture lights to wash light across the walls and pick out artwork or shelves. Keep the finishes consistent across the room: brass, black or chrome, all in one family.

Living Room Lighting Questions

How many lights does a living room need?
Most living rooms feel best with at least three sources: a ceiling light, plus two or more lamps or wall lights placed around the room so no corner is dark.
What is the best light for reading in a living room?
An arched or adjustable floor lamp, or a table lamp with the shade at about shoulder height when seated, placed just behind and to the side of your chair.
Should living room lights be warm or cool white?
Warm white (2700K to 3000K) suits living rooms best. It flatters skin tones and wood, and feels relaxed in the evening.
