Living room wall lights: A very welcoming ambient light!
The living room is a living space where family and friends gather for warm moments, and the interior lighting you place there plays a very important role! Choosing a light source in harmony with your type of living room (Scandinavian, Mediterranean, modern, minimalist, or industrial style) should not be taken lightly. In this article, we will be here to help you find the type of light fixture that will best suit your layout among our collection of wall lamps and living room pendant lights.
What wall light design for my living room?
Unlike outdoor lighting, the living room places absolutely no limits on the choice of materials that can be mounted on the wall. Natural wood, plastic, or glass are all materials that will illuminate your interior with elegance and design!
For modern and minimalist living rooms, we can see:
-
Material: Chrome-plated metal, satin metal, polycarbonate, or wood
-
Design: A set of a few wall lights in the form of an individual spotlight, with various colors
-
Placement: Each spotlight can be modular or placed one after another in a curved or linear row, illuminating from top to bottom to avoid glare.
-
Shape: Among our lighting models, we offer squares, rounds, or oval shapes.
-
Color: Clean and modern living rooms are subtly enhanced if you choose dark gray, gold, and white.
For a Scandinavian-style living room, we recommend as wall lights:
-
Material: Glass, wood, or a wood & metal mix.
-
Design: A living room wall light with an openwork lampshade, (mesh or perforated wood type), or with a bare tinted glass bulb.
-
Placement: One or more wall lights a few meters apart, so as to distribute the light flow in the room.
-
Shape: A wooden base that holds a brass stem bedside lamp, with a socket to place a filament LED bulb.
-
Color: Nordic style loves pale and cool colors, such as white glass, beige wood, anthracite gray metal, or even salmon pink
If you have an industrial-style living room, then the ideal wall lamp models are:
-
Material: Metal in all its forms: Aluminum, Brass, Nickel, or stainless steel
-
Design: Mesh pendant wall lights are traditional to the industrial style. But also a matte black lampshade, or tubular in shape like a vertical lantern.
-
Placement: If the bulb is well exposed, we recommend dispersing the wall lights in the living room, so as to diffuse the light evenly
-
Shape: Given the retro vintage style of such a living room, designer lights like a bell, a chandelier, or a mesh porthole are good choices.
-
Color: Black, natural or synthetic rust color as well as gray metal that has undergone a patina will plunge your living room into an old-fashioned atmosphere! We can also mention satin stainless steel, very popular in kitchens.
For a Mediterranean-style living room, the ideal light wall lights would be:
-
Material: A recessed led lamp made of colored glass, rattan wood, or bamboo will be perfectly in its element!
-
Design: Oriental or openwork patterns are revealing of the warm atmosphere of the south!
-
Placement: Depending on the size of the living room, a large ceiling light followed by several dispersed wall lights is relevant
-
Shape: Woven wood lampshades, in the shape of a light Mexican-style hat, or frosted and honeycomb glass bells are excellent choices!
-
Color: The most basic is a model of a dining room wall light or living room, with a base in white, gray, or brown. The lampshade can be colored glass in red, green, sky blue, and yellow. If you opt for wood, opt for an openwork rattan or bamboo lampshade that diffuses its light intensity indirectly.
What distance between each living room wall light?
The placement distance will depend on the wattage of your bulb, as well as the size of your living room. For a more personalized setting, we recommend ordering from our wide range of lighting fixtures a model that includes a built-in dimmer. This will allow you to vary the color temperature as well as the white light.
