Lighting

What lighting is best for a living room?

A combination of ambient, task, and accent lighting creates a well-balanced living room. Ceiling lights provide overall illumination. Table & floor lamps add warmth and cosiness. Wall lights enhance ambiance. Dimmer switches allow you to adjust brightness for different moods.

What lighting is best for a hallway?

Hallway lighting should be bright and welcoming. Ceiling pendants or flush lights work well for general lighting. Wall lights add depth and prevent dark corners. Table and Floor Lamps can highlight features or add ambiance.

Why is lighting important?

Lighting affects mood, functionality, and aesthetics in any space. The right lighting enhances comfort, makes tasks easier, and highlights key design elements. It
also plays a role in creating ambiance, whether warm and cosy or bright and energising.

Which type of lighting gives off the most light?

LED bulbs offer the brightest and most energy-efficient lighting. Cool white or daylight bulbs (4000K-6500K) provide maximum brightness. Pendant lights & chandeliers with multiple bulbs distribute light widely. Recessed ceiling spotlights offer strong, even illumination across a room.

What lights are on trend?

Current lighting trends include: Statement pendant lights – Oversized designs or sculptural shapes. Layered lighting – Mixing table lamps, floor lamps, and wall sconces. Brass & gold finishes – Adding warmth and elegance.

What different types of lighting are there?

There are three main types of lighting, each serving a different purpose: Ambient lighting – General lighting that brightens the whole room (e.g., ceiling lights). Task lighting – Focused light for specific activities like reading or cooking (e.g., desk lamps, under-cabinet lighting). Accent lighting – Decorative lighting that highlights features (e.g., wall sconces, LED strips, spotlights).
