Living room lamps

The living room plays a fundamental role in our house, since it is the space where we meet, rest and enjoy special moments. Lighting plays a key role in creating a cozy and functional atmosphere in the living room.

Here are some tips for planning the lighting in your living room:

• Environment and activity: If you are clear about the activity that you are going to carry out in each area of ​​the room and the atmosphere that you want to create, you have a lot of advance. Having ambient lighting will allow you to create pleasant, efficient and attractive spaces.
• Highlight decorative elements: If your living room has decorative elements, such as shelves, paintings or, for example, a wallpapered wall, give it the importance it deserves. Accent lighting helps to create special atmospheres, highlight textures and, ultimately, have a more beautiful living room.
• Control the light: Being able to adjust the intensity or color of light according to your needs or time of day allows you to create personal environments, save energy and improve visual comfort.

The number of lumens per square meter required to light a living room may vary based on specific usage and personal preference.

However, these levels can serve as a useful approximation:

• General lighting: For the general lighting layer of the hall, a lighting level of at least 100 to 300 lumens per square meter is required. This will provide enough light for daily activities and also to create a pleasant and cozy atmosphere.
• Areas of activity or use: If you have specific areas in your living room where you perform tasks that need more light, such as working or reading, you can increase the lighting level in those areas to about 300 to 500 lumens per square meter.
• Accent lighting: If you want to highlight decorative elements in your living room, such as paintings, walls, etc. the ideal is to have a minimum of 500 lumens in that area.

It is important to keep in mind that the colors of the furniture or walls can influence the light levels in the environment. In the event that these are dark, the minimum levels of lighting required must be increased.
