Living room lighting
A living room has to cope with many activities, from watching television to reading and entertaining, so a single ceiling light is rarely enough. A combination of several layers of light that you can change to suit the occasion works best. Below are the recommended figures and luminaires from our catalogue.
Recommended lighting
- Light level
- 100–300 lx
- For general light. A reading spot needs brighter local light, around 300–500 lx.
- Colour temperature
- 2700–3000 K
- Warm white light creates a cosy mood. Choose the same colour temperature for every luminaire in the room.
How to plan the light
- General lighting A ceiling or pendant luminaire lights the whole room. If you can, choose a dimmable model so the light can be lowered in the evening.
- Task lighting A floor-standing or table luminaire by the sofa and in the reading corner gives more light where you read or do handiwork.
- Accent lighting Wall lights that wash a picture, shelf or wall add depth to the room and take the load off the ceiling light.

Frequently asked questions
How much light does a living room need?
For general light, around 100–300 lx is commonly recommended. The exact number and output of luminaires depends on the floor area, ceiling height and wall colour; you can work it out with our lighting calculator.
What colour temperature suits a living room?
Warm white of 2700–3000 K is the usual choice. What matters most is that every luminaire in the room has the same colour temperature, otherwise the light looks patchy.
Is it worth choosing dimmable luminaires?
Yes, if the living room is used for both relaxing and working, because the brightness can be lowered in the evening. Only luminaires whose description states dimming can be dimmed, and only with a suitable dimmer or control system.
How high should a pendant hang over a coffee table?
The bottom of a pendant is usually left about 60–75 cm above the table surface, so that it does not block the view across the table or shine into your eyes.
