Style living room with lighting: 5 tips

To update the living room interior and make the decor stylish, it is not necessary to start a major renovation. Together with OBI experts, we tell how to bring trendy trends to life using lighting fixtures.

Make a bet on geometry

In decoration, geometric patterns are in fashion. Why not use them as inspiration for lighting fixtures? Square and rectangular elements, strict forms of floor lamps — these are what you need to decorate your interior.

Single pendant KUB combines the strictness of straight graphic lines and a soft spherical form of the shade. A stylish addition to the living room interior.
Be simpler
What could 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 'Ilich bulb', but modern design that can transform a boring interior.
Of course, one bulb is not enough for lighting the entire living room: choose ceiling lights or floor lamps with multiple elements. One lamp can be taken as a wall sconce or accent lighting.

Add interesting materials and textures
Lighting fixtures with unusual materials in their design — such as microconcrete — can make a neutral living room interior more interesting. Modern technologies allow manufacturing very elegant items from this rough material.
Also, pay attention to bases that imitate marble and other natural stones — they will become the 'sparkle' of your interior.

Decorative lamp LYNTON attracts attention with its unusual design. Of course, it won't illuminate the entire room, but it's perfect for creating a cozy atmosphere.
Single hanging light with a wooden and concrete shade will be a stylish addition to the living room interior. It can be used for ambient lighting on a coffee table or a relaxation corner.
Decorative table lamp with a textile shade has a base with a marble-like pattern. Looks very stylish and elegant.
Play with contrasts
Do away with unobtrusive lights that match the wall color, let them stand out against a neutral background. This creates accent points in the interior where the eye stops. This trend is currently popular.
