The living room is probably the room in the house most subject to changes in decor. The concept of classic wall paint is always oriented towards a light color. However, opting for other colors can create a new atmosphere in your living room. Which one is it? So, without further ado, let's dive into this blog and learn more about this subject. Selection criteria The living room is the place to entertain our guests and spend pleasant moments of relaxation with family or friends. The wall painting is, therefore, necessary because its appearance and presentation will determine the owners' personality. The goal is to give this room a fresh and trendy look; the choice of color is essential to harmonize the decor. A few criteria must be taken into account to obtain an outstanding result. Of course, personal taste will always be a consideration. 1. Orientation and volume of the living room Exposure to the living room is one of the important criteria in choosing the right wall color for your living room. The color must be in harmony with the sun's reflections to dazzle the living room. If the living room is exposed to the north, the right choice is to adopt a warm color like pink combined with gray. In the opposite case, that is to say, in the south, the best is to soften the room by opting for yellow or golden honey. For a large living room, the adoption of two shades superimposed will be perfect. On the other hand, for a small space, a homogeneous color will be appropriate to avoid a cluttered effect in the room. 2. The atmosphere of the living room Knowing that the living room is a place of relaxation, the choice of wall color will depend on the atmosphere sought by residents. For comfort, blue is perfect; ochre is the ideal solution for calmness and warmth. 3. Decorating Style Interior design techniques also influence the choice of wall color in the living room. By this fact, the goal is to obtain a living room that will reflect your personality. It is therefore important that the decorations and the wall paint match. The style of decoration includes the choice of furniture, wall decorations such as pictures or frames, curtains, and chandeliers. The choice of furniture, its components, and materials should be made according to your expectations. Indeed, it is necessary to measure their colors well to avoid an unpleasant appearance. Naturally, the wall paint will be adapted to blend into the room. The trendy color: lavender White is undoubtedly the color that will never go out of style. However, with the exponential evolution of the decorating world, more accent colors are making themselves felt. Lavender, a color that is still not well known, lends itself in a surprising way to the living room. Indeed, it comes in several shades ranging from pale blue-gray to mauve. Boldness is, therefore, in the spotlight. Contrary to what one might think, adopting this color brings a touch of femininity and warmth to the room. Its strengths lie in the fact that it embodies many perceptions, namely: • Brightness • Freshness • The royal luxury • The calm and the conviviality • The mystery is associated with romance. This color also gives the illusion of a larger space in the living room. In terms of decoration, there are a few choices for a sophisticated look, although in reality, only white works well with the color lavender. For the sofa Laying out sofas in a darker lavender hue will highlight the living room. The wall paint will then be a little lighter. For the furniture You can opt for furniture combining two colors, including white and brown imitating wood. These can be shelves, large night lights, or some flower pots. For the curtains White is always in the spotlight, with a light touch of the color of the walls so as not to clutter the room. To avoid the effect of a room being too homogeneous, you can combine powder pink or transparent white with the color of curtains, objects, or even furniture.

For the Living Room

Choosing a light fixture for the living room is not something you do on a whim. The best solution is to create different lighting zones with the help of multiple light points. For this, there are many options available to you. For example, you can use a floor lamp with a dimmer switch as the leading light. And to bring more light into the room, don’t hesitate to create rows of spotlights on the ceiling or walls.

You can also install a hanging lamp above your coffee table. This will create a warm atmosphere.

Near the armchairs where you will do some reading, install some accent lamps.

For the Dining Room

Intense lighting is necessary during the meal. You have two options: install a pendant or a ceiling light. Remember to choose a model that is proportional to the size of the room, so as not to detract from its aesthetic appearance.

Here’s how to calculate the ideal diameter (in cm) of your light fixture: measure your dining room’s width and length (in meters) and add them up. Then multiply the result by 8.

You can also add wall sconces to this room.

For the Kitchen

This room plays several roles: a place to prepare meals, a place of tasting, etc. It requires compelling lighting. It, therefore, requires very powerful lighting. You have many options, including a row of spotlights, flat LED panels, a ceiling light, or a pendant.

For maximum illumination of work areas, install spotlights underneath tall furniture. To highlight the contents of your display case, do not hesitate to place LED lights.

For the Bedroom

The light you choose for your bedroom should not prevent you from sleeping. It should not be aggressive. For this, installing a ceiling light is an excellent solution for general lighting.

If you want to install sconces or bedside lamps in this room, place them on either side of your bed.

Spotlights are recommended if your dressing room is in your bedroom.

Good to know: the lighting in your children’s bedrooms should reach all the way to the floor. Therefore, the lights should be located at a fairly low level. Choose string lights or install a wall light to create a soft and calm atmosphere.

For the Bathroom

The lights you choose for your bathroom must be both relaxing and effective. This room needs three sources of light: general lighting, functional lighting, and ambient lighting.

Among the possible lighting solutions, spotlights, ceiling lights, light mirrors, wall lights, and strip lights are the most commonly used. And for a good reason, they allow you to limit electricity consumption.

A word of advice: be careful when choosing the lights to install in this room. They must be highly resistant to humidity and comply with safety standards.
