Use different light sources
Nothing likeuse several light sources of different sizes and shapes to optimize the lighting of your living room. If you live in the capital or its surroundings, we advise you to order quality lamps from a lighting store in Paris. You will have the choice between suspensions, chandeliers, wall sconces, floor lamps, ceiling lamps, spotlights, etc. feel free to play with the height of your lights to give the impression of greater ceiling height.
He is important to choose the right bulbs according to their temperature, color and intensity (warm light or cold light). It all depends on the use of the luminaire in the living room. For example, a reading lamp will need a higher brightness than a mood lamp. Note that floor lamps can be placed at different heights to create more direct or softer points of light as needed. Use lampshades of different colors and shapes to give personality to your decor while filtering the light.
Let in natural light
You will create a very pleasant light atmosphere by promoting the entry of sunlight into your living room. Natural light is actually sweeter and more pleasant than artificial light, perfect for creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere in the room. We recommend that you install clear and transparent glazing. In this case, theinstallation of an awning will also be of great use to you. If your terrace is very exposed to the sun, the awning will create shade in periods of high heat, thus preventing the glazing from heating up too much.
At the same time, an awning always lets natural light into your living room thanks to its transparency. There are also translucent, foldable fabric blinds that let daylight into your home.
Besides, place mirrors on the walls to reflect light. Opt for light fabric curtains to optimize the natural lighting of the room. Remove objects that block the entry of light sunlight, including plants or furniture placed in front of windows.
Favor light colors and a refined style for decoration
The use of light and soft colors is an excellent tip for having a bright living room. We can especially suggest white, beige, light gray and all things pastel. These tones reflect light, whether natural or artificial. They therefore increase the brightness of the living room. You can, for example, paint the walls of the living room in one of these colors to give the impression of space and clarity.
Choose furniture and accessories light in color to make the room even brighter. We also advise you to bet on a minimalist interior decoration style to optimize the lighting in your living room. This way you will avoid overloading the room with too much furniture or accessories. Instead, you’ll have an open, airy space that helps diffuse light throughout the room.
