2024 was the year of cool lighting, there’s no doubt about it. And it was also the year we all really learnt about the concept of layered lighting as we embraced the idea of a truly cosy and cocooning home in which the right atmospheric lighting plays a major role. And nowhere is this true more than in the living room – but now that I know that a room should have multiple lamps and light fixtures, the question is just how many light sources should a living room have.
As we find ourselves in 2025, our journey of discovering more showstopping living room lighting ideas continues on from last year. But layering your light sources is not just the current lighting trend – it’s a timeless method that will aid in creating the desired ambiance in your living space, depending on the occasion, whether it’s just you winding down after a long day or you’re entertaining guests.
