As an interior professional, you are always on the look out for new ways to make a space shine. The living room is one of the most important spaces in any residential space, and it's no exception when it comes to making a statement with design, regardless of its style. But what about the lighting?

Lighting can play a huge role in setting the right mood and tone of the space. It can also be used to complement the overall concept, regardless of the chosen style. It can accentuate features, follow and break lines, create rhythm in a space. Let’s take a look at some of the latest living room trends and explore what type of lighting can be used to enhance each one of them.

 

1. Earthy and natural

This type of interior combines minimalism with organic and natural elements. It is a blend of clean lines, neutral colors, and an uncluttered aesthetic with the use of natural materials, such as wood, stone, and plants, to create a space that feels warm, inviting, and connected to nature.

Choose luminaire designs that complement the shapes and colors of nature. Add a touch of luxury by mixing brushed anodised colors with more neutral white or black structure.

2. Bold use of color

Incorporating bright and bold hues is an excellent way to add energy and character to a living room. By using statement pieces, accent walls, or colorful furniture, you know how to create a focal point that will draw the eye and make the space more interesting.

Luminaires with bold vibrant colors can offer a fun and exciting way to express further your style. Alternatively, choose more complementary natural colors or a black chrome finishing to really make those colors pop.

Consider using soft, indirect lighting to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, or bright, natural light to emphasize the clean lines and neutral colors. Opt for miniature designs or pure geometric shapes to create understated beauty.

5. Eclectic

Eclectic interior design is all about mixing and matching vintage furnishings and decor with modern, contemporary pieces to create a unique space. Lighting can play a crucial role in creating a cohesive and balanced look in an eclectic space. 

Go for luminaires that complement the overall style and color scheme of the space. If you want to highlight a particular piece of furniture or artwork, consider using a spotlight or track lighting to draw attention to it.
