The best living room lighting uses three layers: general light from a track or profile, accent light on walls and art, and soft wall lights for the evening. Warm 2700K to 3000K keeps the room relaxed. You can compare every layer at our Periyamedu showroom.

Living room lighting ideas

TV wall
A vertical profile on each side, never behind the screen's glare.

Art and shelves
Narrow 30° to 38° spots.
-
Seating
Dimmable light over the sofa.
-
Statement
A designer fan that matches the lights.
Keep the colour consistent
Use the same colour temperature for every light in the room, usually 3000K. Mixed colours make the room look patchy. Try each one on this room.

Good to know before you buy

Start with how you use the room
Watching TV, hosting guests, reading on the sofa. Each needs different light. List them and plan a layer for each, so one switch doesn't have to do everything.
-
Put the lights on separate switches
General light, accent light and wall lights on separate circuits let you set the mood in seconds. A dimmer on the main light adds even more control.

Light the walls, not just the floor
Lit walls make a room feel bigger. A spot on a painting or a wash on a textured wall does more for the room than an extra ceiling light.
Common mistakes to avoid
One bright light in the middleA single central light makes the room flat and casts shadows on faces. Spread the light across walls and corners.
Spots that glare at the sofaSpots aimed at seating shine into eyes. Aim them at walls and art instead.
Lights behind the TVBright light directly behind the screen strains the eyes. Light the sides of the TV wall, not the centre.
