What lighting for the living room and dining room?

The living room and dining room are the busiest areas of your home. The atmosphere of these rooms is intimately linked to the lighting and brightness offered by the luminaires. In order to vary the atmosphere of your living room and make your dining room a pleasant place to live, here are a few simple tips.

The living room

The living room is the perfect place to play with the lighting. Here, you can multiply the sources of light to adapt the atmosphere to the different times of the day.

For general lighting in the living room, choose a light source above the coffee table such as a pendant or chandelier. Then, wall lights and other secondary lighting points such as floor lamps and lamps will be your allies to highlight your library or furniture for example.

For a festive touch, opt for a light garland. If you are looking for a rather roamy atmosphere, candleholders are a must. Finally, dare to be original for an offbeat effect with designer wall lights....

The dining room

This centrepiece of your home must first have overall lighting. Ideally, a chandelier or pendant should be positioned above the dining room table so that the luminaire does not "fall" into the void. The choice of luminaire will depend on the shape of the table: rectangular, round or square.
