Guide - Living Room Lighting - Lunares Blog

The living room is the only room in the house that has to be four different rooms in a single evening: somewhere to talk, somewhere to read, somewhere to watch a film and somewhere to receive guests. One lamp on the ceiling cannot do all of that, and that is exactly why so many living rooms are badly lit. So we took ten lamps from ten manufacturers, each for a different job: a pendant over the seating area, a chandelier, a flush ceiling light, a reading floor lamp, a table lamp, a wall light, an LED strip, a panel, a recessed downlight and a track system. For each one we give the things that really decide how the room looks after dark: light output, colour temperature, CRI, how it dims and how long the warranty runs. Every number comes from the product record, not from a brochure. In a hurry? The table is enough. Want to know why your one lamp will never be enough — keep reading.

The living room is the hardest room in the house to light, because it’s the only one that does everything at once: this is where you read and watch films, host guests and doze on the sofa. One ceiling lamp – however beautiful – won’t handle all those roles; at full power it makes a “waiting room”, dimmed down it leaves dark corners. The solution designers use is layers of light: general, task and mood, each on its own switch. In this guide we build a complete plan out of them – from the ceiling lights, through the floor lamp by the sofa, to the light behind the TV – with concrete numbers, lamp by lamp.
