Which light(s) for my living room.
Comments (11)Hi. How high are the ceilings? I think you need something at least 7ft off the floor but ideally more. The walls look pretty white. How about White and copper to go with the olive green and continue the airiness? Option 1 is from habitat, instead of the White light over the table you could go for a copper pendant. I must admit the room looks pretty light to me, the bookcase corner is a little dark but I assume a wall light is out of the question at this stage?! Maybe a floor lamp picking up more copper when you have the budget...See MoreLiving room centre light or spot lights?
Comments (12)Hi again. Your room is modern, contemporary and elegant and I'd definitely look to soften the look with a pendant light. I can estimate the size of your room and I agree with you, keep it simple and stylish. Quality, is your key here. I'd be tempted to look at glass, something that's reflective or that's clean (non-fussy looking) as you have a lot that's 'talking' in your room. Some ideas would be... https://www.desreshome.co.uk/lighting/pendant-lighting/industrial-style-white-dome-pendant-light https://www.desreshome.co.uk/lighting/pendant-lighting/antique-bronze-wire-beehive-pendant-light maybe white or grey too https://www.desreshome.co.uk/lighting/pendant-lighting/large-glass-dome-pendant-light this large glass dome (see the smaller size for a better picture) https://www.desreshome.co.uk/lighting/pendant-lighting/copper-ball-pendant-light https://www.desreshome.co.uk/lighting/pendant-lighting/glass-cylinder-pendant-light - we have a larger one than this but not on the website - see the three glass cylinder pendant light on the website https://www.desreshome.co.uk/lighting/pendant-lighting/white-gloss-dome-pendant-light https://www.desreshome.co.uk/lighting/pendant-lighting/contemporary-bubble-saucer-pendant-light The size of your light will depend on your room and all lights can have the cable drops made shorter.

Comments (7)Lovely room. How about a pallet of green and heather? It would be a bit of a country look so I’m not sure if that’s your style or not? Your sofa looks a little lilacy as does the checked cushion, so soft green walls - say F&B Mizzle or Cromarty or Dulux Tranquil Dawn. Add more co-ordinating cushions. A large padded footstool would look smart in the middle or a large coffee table. It does look a bit bare in the middle. A room never looks finished without art on the walls and maybe a mirror. Of course if you dislike heather, you could try a soft blush pink, which always goes nicely with grey....See MoreLiving room, light box (indirect lighting)
Comments (1)We've installed one in our bedroom, husband designed and fitted it himself. I was the second pair of hands when needed! Wasn't hard to do but lots of helpful stuff on YouTube. We used LED strips, which along with the transformers weren't cheap but we're really pleased with the result. Good luck. Angie...See MoreAlex T
