Experts recognise that lighting is a key part of interior design. However, it’s an area many of us overlook. It’s common to have the same old-fashioned lighting fixtures for years, before having them replaced.
Whether you're just starting your lighting journey or wanting to refresh your fixtures, The Lighting Room would love to be your guide. There’s never been more choice when it comes to lighting, with elegant pendant lights particularly popular. Below is just one of our stylish pendant light designs.
Our choice of lighting has a massive impact on your space.
The right lighting can help create the ambience you’re after in your room. Modern and traditional lighting fixtures have also never been more attractive, with it easier than ever to achieve a luxurious look even on a tighter budget.
How do I choose the right ceiling lights?
Choosing ceiling lights involves considering several factors including:
- the height of the ceiling
- how you use your space
- the interior design scheme
- your personal tastes.
The first step is to consider the height of the ceiling. The second should be considering the function of the space. If it’s a kitchen, you might want to opt for bright lighting which makes it easier to focus when cooking. However, if it’s a living space, you might prefer ceiling lights which emit softer, ambient light for relaxed living.
In places where you do a lot of work, you should have what’s known as ‘task lighting’.
This refers to lighting specifically designed to illuminate certain tasks or activities, providing focused and directed light to a particular area where a task is being performed. It is often used in workspaces such as offices, kitchens, workshops or study areas to enhance visibility and reduce eye strain.
Task lighting fixtures are typically adjustable and positionable, making it easier for individuals to perform tasks with precision and accuracy. Examples of task lighting fixtures include desk lamps, under-cabinet lights in kitchens, and reading lights
Consider the size of your particular room.
The size of the room will influence the type and number of ceiling lights you need. Larger rooms may require multiple fixtures or larger fixtures to adequately illuminate the space.
There are various types of contemporary and traditional ceiling lights available.
- Flush mount fixtures, which are ideal for rooms with low ceilings or where you prefer a sleek, minimalistic look. We have many gorgeous flush lights with striking designs.
- Semi-flush mount lights that hang slightly lower than flush mounts and provide a bit more visual interest without sacrificing headroom.
- Large statement lighting which is ideal for higher ceilings or a larger space with vaulted ceilings.
- Pendant lights that are versatile enough to be used in various spaces, including kitchens, dining areas and hallways. They can serve as a focal point in a room and add visual interest and ambiance. Their versatility makes them a popular choice for many different interior design schemes.
- Bathroom lights that are IP rated (not all fixtures have this).

Improve your energy efficiency levels in 2024.
Opt for LED fixtures and LED bulbs, which are more energy-efficient and have a longer lifespan compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. Along with our broad selection of lighting fixtures, we also have LED bulbs available at competitive prices.
You might also want lights with dimming capabilities. If you want flexibility in adjusting the lighting level according to the mood or time of day, choose fixtures that are compatible with dimmer switches. The Lighting Room also provides fixtures compatible with a dimmer switch, for which dimmable bulbs are needed.
