Lighting in your living room
“By thoughtfully layering ambient and accent lighting you can create a living room that is both practical and visually stunning.”
When planning the lighting for your living room, it's essential to consider the functionality of the space, the atmosphere you want to create, and how the lighting will highlight key elements of the room.
Living rooms are typically multi-functional spaces, used for relaxing, entertaining, reading, and sometimes even working. Proper lighting enhances these activities, but it also has the power to elevate the overall design and mood of the room.
Ambient lighting: The foundation of your living room’s lighting
Ambient lighting provides the general illumination for your living room, ensuring that the space is well-lit and comfortable. It is the foundation upon which the other layers of lighting are built. Ambient lighting can come from various sources, including ceiling fixtures, chandeliers, or wall-mounted lights. The goal here is to create a soft, diffuse light that illuminates the entire room without being too harsh.
The Tapermoon series shines particularly in the role of ambient lighting. Tapermoon's origami-inspired designs add a decorative element that transforms the fixture into more than just a light source—it becomes a statement piece that shapes the character of the room. Tapermoon fixtures radiate a warm glow and are perfect for ambient lighting, providing a soft yet striking presence that envelops the room in a comfortable light. Positioning these lights centrally in the room, such as adjacent to a seating area, ensures that they provide even illumination while also creating a beautiful focal point.
Accent lighting: Creating visual interest in your living room
Accent lighting highlights specific features within the living room, such as artwork, architectural details, or decorative elements. The purpose of accent lighting is to draw attention to these focal points, adding drama and interest to the space. Wall sconces, recessed lights, and floor lamps can be used to achieve accent lighting.
The Tapermoon series offers various opportunities for accent lighting. Its unique, precision-crafted shapes make each fixture a work of art in its own right. Placing Tapermoon lights in corners, on side tables, or above shelves can create captivating visual moments that enhance the overall aesthetic of the room. These lights not only illuminate but also serve as conversation pieces, drawing the eye to their intricate design. Accent lighting should always be subtle with a warm glow to ensure it never feels harsh or overpowering.

Dimmability
It’s also essential to consider dimmability. Ambient and accent lighting, in particular, benefit from dimmer switches, allowing you to adjust the brightness based on the time of day, the activity, or the desired mood. With dimmable options, Tapermoon lights can easily transition from functional daytime lighting to softer, more atmospheric evening illumination.
