Living room ceiling lighting

Let your ceiling do the talking. From sculptural pendants to low-key flush mounts, our living room lighting brings form and function together.

Going for a modern look? Try clean-lined pendants in matte black or metal. Love traditional charm? Opt for classic chandeliers or warm-toned fixtures. For small spaces, flush or semi-flush mounts keep things bright without taking up visual space. And if cosy’s your goal, look for soft diffused lighting that wraps the room in a warm hug.


Living room floor lamps

Floor lamps do more than light up a corner—they add height, drama, and a touch of personality to your living room.

Love a modern vibe? Go for slim metal frames with clean lines. Prefer something traditional? Try a classic lamp with a fabric shade and turned wood base. Arched lamps are perfect for placing over sofas or armchairs, while tripod or sculptural styles double as décor. For a cosy feel, look for warm-toned bulbs and textured shades that soften the glow.

Table lamps may be small in size, but they make a big impact. They're the finishing touch that ties the whole space together.

Going modern? Choose bold shapes, sleek metal, or glass bases. For a traditional feel, opt for timeless silhouettes with fabric or ceramic shades. Want cosy? A soft-glow bulb and a textured lampshade are your best friends. And for small spaces, compact or dual-purpose designs offer style without crowding your surfaces.

Wall lights are the unsung heroes of living room design, adding both function and flair. Whether you're creating ambient lighting, accenting art, or adding a touch of elegance, decorative wall lights and sleek LED options provide versatility and style.

For a modern touch, try geometric LED wall lights or minimalist sconces with clean lines. If you love traditional charm, go for ornate, vintage-inspired fixtures or elegant brass finishes. Decorative wall lights with artistic designs make a bold statement, while LED wall lights offer energy-efficient, space-saving lighting for a sleek, contemporary vibe.
