In the living-room, it is important to differentiate the lighting by setting up several light sources and create the right balance between ambience, aesthetics and functionality.

This is the most challenging area to illuminate.

In fact, this is a space where many different activities take place, such as socializing, watching TV or reading a book. Often it is also the room where the children play.

For this reason, it is essential to find an ideal combination of direct and indirect light.

There is no set standard. The lighting must be designed to meet the specific needs of those who live in the environments.

So:

• If you wish to create an area where you can chat with your guests, the light should be diffused, and if possible indirect.
• If you like to spend your free time in the company of a good book, you will need a floor lamp beside the armchair that provides quality downward-projected light.
• If there are young children, it is advisable to opt for ceiling lighting fixtures with direct light, however comfortable, not glaring, and if possible dimmable.

For the sofa/TV area, uniform indirect light is recommended, so as not to affect the vision or cause annoying reflections on the TV screen. Preferably a dimmable light, that helps you create a cosy atmosphere while watching a movie and turn your living room into a real home cinema.
