Your
living room is one of the most important rooms in your house. It's
where you relax after a long day at work, laugh with friends and
watch endless hours of Netflix, so it has to be functional and look
good. As well as the way you decorate, the lighting is important,
too. Good lighting can make your living room feel warm, cosy and
inviting. So here are some lighting ideas to match your living room
design.
Shabby
Chic, Romantic and Girly
This
type of living room is cute, quirky and full of personality.
Featuring pale pinks, adorable floral patterns, and a vintage feel, a
shabby chic living room is romantic, soft and relaxing. The lighting
here is really important, as the wrong style can throw the whole room
out of balance. An ultra modern lighting here is a definite no-no!
Instead, choose a chandelier with romantic floral touches, fairy
lights for an extra feminine touch, and vintage style floor lights
with embroidered shades. Choose lighting in rose gold, silver, or
copper to bring the theme together.

Shades of Magnolia
If
you live in a rented property, then unless you have an amazing
landlord, you're probably prohibited from painting walls and
redecorating. So what can you do with your living room when the walls
are in boring shades of cream? Create a feature wall by making art
gallery, poster or mirror wall, add colour with cushions, rugs and
accessories and then go crazy with your lights! In a cream room you
have endless choices, so let your creative side shine through with
lava lamps, neon
signs, or even novelty lights in the shape of flowers and dogs.
Bold
and Beautiful
If
you love colour, then your living room is a great place to express
it. While everyone else is choosing sofas in neutral shades, you've
chosen a bright patterned fabric, painted a bold feature wall and
accessorised with a colourful rug – go you! If your living room is
an eclectic mix of design and colour, your lighting can pull it all
together. Choose a bold retro ceiling light in your main colour and
add rope lights around mirrors or cornices for an extra statement.
Modern
and Minimal
For
some people, too many accessories just means clutter. If you're one
of these people, you have probably decorated your living room in a
minimal style, with carefully placed pops of colour, clean lines or a
monochrome pallet. For this design, think of a square leather sofa, a
plush faux fur rug and gloss finish furniture. In such a stylish
space, the lighting has to be subtle but stylish. Choose
a contemporary ceiling light such as a modern chandelier or steel
pendant and finish with matching table lamps.
