The living room is a fundamental space in a home. It’s the place for relaxation, where you can finally recharge the energy used during the day. For this reason, it’s no longer enough to simply illuminate it, we must create atmosphere!

Here are 3 fundamental steps for you to choose lighting appliances for your modern living room.

A light for every function

The living room is a space where you live different occasions, such as entertaining guests. For this reason, each function matches the right type of lighting.

If there is a dining table, for example, there will be a need for one or more suspensions that come down on the table that can spread enough light to give the food a more appetizing appearance and a more relaxed air to your guests.

Even the TV area requires the right level of lighting to allow vision without straining the eyes. Placing a soft light or LEDs on the back will improve your experience.

In the same way, targeted light sources, such as a floor lamp that spreads light from above, if placed in the area of a sofa, can create a perfect reading angle without being disturbing to the view. An example is GIRAFFA: this particular model of floor lamp spreads a beam of light from above without creating annoying shadows on the pages of the book.

Neither too much, nor too little

While choosing floor lamps and design chandeliers, you can easily overdo it by choosing to add more than one suspension, wall and other light sources with a particularly elaborate design.

At the same time, we want to insert a “precious” and design element that is the protagonist of the room, made with quality materials that make your modern living room unique.

A good compromise is to combine a suspension with a floor lamp with a unique and sophisticated design. As we did with ESSE, a lighting element characterized by warm colours and sinuous details that makes harmonious the space in which it’s placed.

Furniture has light too

The latest generation furniture is no longer completely dark: niches, fitted walls and modern bookcases are increasingly being equipped with integrated lighting systems that add up to the more classic lighting system.

The goal is certainly to highlight the particularities of a furnishing accessory and create atmosphere. Also, our SCRINEUM library is designed to host LEDs placed between the perforated metal sheet parts, allowing light to pass and to create original plays of light.
