lounge lighting options

8 years ago
Hello!
I’m stuck between 2 styles of lights for our lounge. Either an LED hoop light which is very modern, or a drum light which is a bit more cosy, I’ve attached photos of the types of lighting I’m looking at (but still looking).

Just to give you an idea of our lounge: it’s a long room with 2 ceiling lights, so can’t have anything too big or too statement-y as it would be a bit much for the room. We have big windows at both ends, One is a square bay. We will be getting dark grey carpet to go with our light grey sofas which have yellow and blue geometric patterned cushions. The rug is light grey with dark grey criss cross pattern. The curtains are white, yellow and grey geometric pattern, and the blind at the bay is grey and silver with small patterns. I hope that gives you an idea. We will add another sofa, either in blue or yellow. The walls will be a neutral (either a vanilla white or just plain white, feel grey would make that too much grey in the room and would be a shame as it’s such a sunny room). Anyway, the look we want is modern but cosy.

    I, personally really like the modern LED hoops.

    How will you be styling the room?

    I have those hoops in my lounge - they look really stylish and modern I think. Give off lots of light.

    I prefer the drum mustard shade but do think it has to fit the decor of the room. I know you described your room. but a pic would help better!

    Hi there,

    It would help with an image of your lounge, in order to give you more suitable advice.I can imagine, according to your description, that your lounge is quite spacious, decorated with colourful furniture. From the options you have provided, I would advice to use the LED hoop, as you already have colour in your furniture, I wouldn't advice to have colour in the lighting too. Have you considered other styles that could look great in your lounge? I would love to help you choose your perfect lighting.
