Whether you're spending time with the family, entertaining friends, or just enjoying some time on your own, your living room should be a place of enjoyment and relaxation. Finding the right lighting to enhance your environment can be a challenge. With versatile lighting, you can find the right light for every occasion. Here we'll ease the process for you with some cutting-edge concepts in living room lighting.
Ceiling Lights
As the primary source of light in your living room is usually from the ceiling it's important to make sure your ceiling lights are impressive; they're the major players in your living room lighting arrangement. The right light can influence the whole dynamic of your living room.
Smaller rooms benefit from just one or two lights. If you opt for spacing out two lights, why not try lighting that's a little bit different? These aesthetically compelling spring coiled lights will lift your living room out of the ordinary.
Here, the lights retain stylish audacity whilst complementing the black, white, and beige decor. The lampshade frames enable the cast of pleasing light and shade over your ceiling.
For an unorthodox pairing, try two adjacent lights with opposing colors; with these iron ceiling lights in black and white, the distinctive triangular patterned lampshades with their rich yellow interiors enable an effect that's uniform, yet contradictory.
They're bold and bright enough to light up your surroundings, whilst liberating your living room from spacing conventions. The neutral black and white colors stand out without dominating the space.
Larger rooms present an opportunity for themed ceiling lighting. Cut loose from convention by setting identical lights at different levels and introduce a playful dissonance to your living room. Here we see an arresting array of iron pendant ceiling lights.
If your living room has a high ceiling, cluster ceiling lights to create a chandelier style effect with an on-trend, modernist vibe.
Rather than clustering the lights in a room that is large, dot them across the ceiling for an even distribution of lighting. Hanging pendant lights usually come with only one or two fittings, enabling minimalism rather than being overly decorous.
Floor Lamps
A good floor lamp is more than just a light source. It's a statement, like a sculpture or a statue. Whether lit or unlit, a floor lamp should provoke attention without overwhelming your environment. Do you want a subtle addition to your decor, or are you after an intriguing conversation piece? Here are a few ideas to help you decide.
If you favor a traditional look in your living room, go retro with your floor lamp. This slender standing floor lamp benefits from dark finishing that rises from the lighter rounded brass base. It won't overwhelm your room and is equally at home whether the decor is low-key or lively.

But if you're looking for a standout piece of furniture in a larger living room, this 5-light floor lamp could be just what you're looking for.

Table Lamps
When you're putting so much consideration into your main living room lighting, it's easy to overlook the table lamp. They were out of fashion for some time, but thanks to some dazzling modern designs, table lamps are back in vogue. They go hand-in-hand with a minimalist living room vibe.
A table lamp should be an impressive style feature, whilst providing convenient light for reading books and magazines. The light from a table lamp flatters the human features and provides an intimate warm ambiance for the times when you prefer to illuminate your space with low-key lighting. Small matching table lamps also make an engaging choice for your living room decor.
