From recessed downlights as general lighting to zone-specific lighting
In the 1990s, there was a widespread trend to use recessed lights such as portholes using a halogen lamp of small dimensions and high performance.
The result of this trend in living room lighting was an over-lit space where visual comfort was practically nil.
With the passage of time, however, this practice has led to a more planned and structured use of lighting, resulting in different types of lighting for each area depending on the uses and activities of each of them.
This is, in fact, the trend of lighting in living rooms, planning a good lighting taking into account the different activities that take place in each area of the room and combining lights such as general, accent or indirect, among other types, to achieve the perfect result.

LED strips to highlight architectural forms
As we mentioned, the latest trends in living room lighting have a lot to do with achieving a comfortable, relaxed light and even complementing the architectural and interior design by highlighting shapes and details, and this is where LED strips have become the favorite.
This trend in living room lighting consists of hiding LED strips in areas such as ceiling coving or draperies, creating an effect that allows highlighting the details of the architecture while achieving a perfect indirect lighting for a quiet and comfortable space.
Dimming the light to create the perfect scene
Trends in living room lighting have been changing throughout history, always seeking a clear objective: the comfort and well-being of people.
And there is no better way to achieve absolute comfort and convenience than with dimming. Dimming allows the lighting to be adapted to every moment of the day and every activity.
In addition, with simple dimming it is now possible to achieve incredible aesthetic results, creating predetermined scenes and achieving the perfect ambience at every moment at the touch of a button.
Thanks to home automation, the luminaires will have the intensity chosen for each moment, adapting to the use given to the space at each moment of the day.

Automation for more comfort and sustainability
Given that trends in lighting rooms are also affected by the evolution of new technologies, automation has already become a way to achieve not only the greatest comfort, but also do it in an environmentally responsible manner.
And is that automating the lighting allows to adapt it to every moment of the day, yes, but this also makes precisely that it is used only when needed, avoiding unnecessary energy expenditure that usually occurs when this lighting control is not automated.
Of all the trends in lighting lounges, this is one of the most promising. Although it has been quite widespread in recent years, it is still expected to be more popular in the coming years, especially in facilities with many people where lighting control can be more complicated, in these cases this is certainly the best alternative both for its functionality and for being a way to save on electricity.
