Because we have to work during the day, our activities in the living room are generally at night, so the matching of lamps and lanterns in the living room is particularly important. Choosing the right lamps can make the living room atmosphere more warm and comfortable, and the activities in the living room at night are more relaxed and calm. In order to let everyone choose the right lamps in the living room, today we will talk about the topic of living room lamps.
// 1. What lights can be installed in the living room? //
① chandelier
The styles of chandeliers are rich and varied. According to different living room styles and atmosphere, choosing different styles of chandeliers will bring different space effects. In the case of many choices, chandeliers have become a common choice for living room lamps.

② Ceiling lamp
There are many styles and shapes of ceiling lamps, and the appearance is relatively simple. It is also a very practical choice of lamps. If installed in the living room, it is also very practical and bright as a lighting lamp.
▲ Install ceiling lamp in the living room.
③ downlight
Downlight installation can be exposed or hidden in the ceiling, and more uniform lighting can be realized through the distribution of multiple light sources; In addition, if you want to illuminate local areas, such as making decorative paintings on the background wall into space highlights, downlight is a more suitable choice.

④ lamp belt
If there is a ceiling lamp trough in the ceiling, installing a lamp strip in the ceiling trough and reflecting the light of the lamp strip through the ceiling as the lighting of the living room can also achieve a comfortable and bright lighting effect, and make the living room more warm and natural by controlling the color temperature.

⑤ indicator light
In the design of unowned lights, downlights and light strips are generally equipped with suspended ceilings. If you want to be a main light without ceiling, guide light is a good alternative.
▲ A guide light is installed in the living room.
//2. How to choose the lights in the living room? //
① storey height coefficient
The height factor is the key factor in choosing the living room lamps. For example, some apartments are less than 2.5 meters high. On this basis, if you install a chandelier (calculated by 60-80cm), then the light is only 1.7- 1.9 meters from the ground, which will hit your head! Obviously, you can't install a chandelier in this situation!
▲ The height is small, and the chandelier will hit your head.
For example, in some living rooms without main lights, in order to install downlights and light strips, it is necessary to sacrifice the height of 10cm to make a ceiling. If the height of the house itself is not big, then the design should be careful!
▲ The main lamp needs an integral ceiling chandelier, which requires a high height.
Therefore, when choosing living room lamps, the first consideration is the height of the floor.
② Style collocation
Style collocation is an important link to create spatial effect. If you want the living room to have a good decorative effect, you should combine the style of the whole living room when choosing lamps, so that the whole living room will be more harmonious and beautiful.
▲ Different styles of living rooms, lamps have different styles to match.
③ Lighting atmosphere
In lighting design, different people have different needs. Some people think that simply having a main light is enough. Some people may like watching TV as one kind of light, and chatting and eating is another kind of light atmosphere. Therefore, when configuring the living room lighting, it will vary from person to person.
▲ Different living room atmospheres can be created by controlling auxiliary light sources such as downlights, light bars and wall lamps.
④ Color temperature of light source
Color temperature is a key factor when choosing lamps. The color temperature of home lighting is generally 3000K (warm yellow light) -4000K (natural light) -6000K (cold white light), and different people like different color temperatures. Therefore, when buying lamps, we must choose the appropriate color temperature of light source to avoid the inappropriate color temperature of the purchased lamps.
▲ Do you prefer warm yellow light or cold white light?
The lamps and lanterns in the living room will only be purchased in the later stage of decoration, but the collocation and design of lamps and lanterns should be considered in the early stage of design, so as not to find that the suitable lamps and lanterns can not be selected after decoration, and the newly renovated house will be overturned.
