Stylish Living Room with Lighting: 5 Tips

To refresh the living room interior and make the setup stylish, it is not necessary to start a major renovation. With the help of OBI experts, we tell how to bring modern trends to life using lighting fixtures. Make a bet on geometry

In fashion, geometric prints in finishing are popular. Why not follow this trend when choosing the design for lighting fixtures? Square, rectangular elements, strict forms of floor lamps — these are what you need to decorate your interior.

Be simpler

What can be more minimalist than a single cable with a lamp at the end? This is not a lack of imagination or budget, like with the "Ilyich bulb," but modern design that will transform a stale interior.

Of course, one bulb alone won't be enough for lighting the entire living room: choose ceiling lights or floor lamps with multiple elements. Take one lamp as a wall sconce or accent light.

Add interesting materials and textures

Also, look at bases that imitate marble and other natural stones — they will become the "sparkle" of your interior.
