Ambient Lighting for a Cosy Autumnal Living Room

Posted by Maisie Yerkess on

Cosy season is officially here, and it sure feels like it with the chill in the air. With the drop in temperature and darker evenings, we retreat to our living room to cosy up each evening. So, it’s time we start to make our living rooms feel all the warmer, and the first step is ambient lighting. 

Creating an inviting space is all about mastering the art of layering, particularly when it comes to living room lights. No one likes having the ‘big light’ on in the living room, it’s arguably the antithesis of a cosy space. And so, your ambient living room lighting should consist of floor lamps, table lamps and of course a well built fire. With that in mind, here's a selection of our favourite living room lights to make your space utterly tempting. 

Benjamin Carved Wooden Floor Lamp With Linen Shade

The Benjamin Carved Wooden Floor Lamp is a perfectly rustic wooden floor lamp for your living room. Not only perfect for mood lighting, thanks to its height and tapered linen shade, this living room light is the perfect reading light to create a focused glow over your sofa. 

Wesley Large Table Lamp With Linen Shade

The Wesley Large Table Lamp With Linen Shade is the perfect autumnal ambient lighting. The stunning warm chocolate palette combined with the natural linen shade of this large table lamp makes for undeniably warm mood lighting. The urn base and eye-catching height of this large table lamp creates a stunning focal point.  Despite its vintage inspired feel, this charming table lamp lends wonderfully to both rustic cottages to more contemporary settings. 

Bobby Round Wooden Lamp

The Bobby Round Wooden Lamp is a lovely 'in-between' when you're looking for something a little bigger than a table lamp, but smaller than a floor lamp. Beautifully crafted into a bold round shape, this gorgeous wooden lamp creates a feeling of natural warmth. It comes complete with an organic linen shade, casting the perfect soft glow through your living room lighting. This gorgeous wooden lamp would create the perfect mood lighting sat on your living room console, casting a subtle light throughout the space.

Toba Antique Lamp Base - Grey

When creating ambient lighting, adding a layer of smaller and larger elements is key. The Toba Antique Lamp Base in Grey, particularly the smaller lamp base, is a great choice when adding the final touches to your living room lighting. Place it on your coffee table, or console table for mood lighting when you're snuggled up with a movie. 

Fredrick Tall Wooden Lamp

The Fredrick Tall Wooden Lamp is another striking living room lighting option that will replace your 'big light'. The warm finish on this gorgeous wooden lamp, along with the organic linen shade, only enhances the light, casting a soothing glow when lit. This wooden lamp would lend beautifully to a country cottage living room, giving a rustic feel that only adds to the cosy atmosphere.

Vesuvius Grey Lamp Base

Much like the Fredrick, the Vesuvius Grey Lamp Base equally creates a stunning focal point for your living room lighting, with a slightly more modern feel. This grey lamp base features an eye-catching height, meaning it would thrive on a living room console, or on a table aside your sofa for focused ambient lighting. The generous height will diffuse a larger glow throughout your living room, acting wonderfully as the main source of cosy autumnal lighting. 

Arnold Wooden Floor Lamp 

Dark brown floor lamp.
When it comes to ambient living room lighting, we love a floor lamp, and the Arnold Wooden Floor Lamp is a stunning choice. Crafted with rich, high-quality mango wood, this gorgeous lamp oozes warm ambiance. When it comes to living room lighting, we love to style floor lamps aside a sofa to highlight the cosiest spot in the space. 

Jolie Beaded Ceramic Table Lamp 

 

White ceramic table lamp with beaded detailing and linen lampshade.
Whilst we love a dark wood when thinking about autumnal living room lighting, a classic ceramic table light always looks beautiful. The Jolie Beaded Ceramic Table Lamp features a  unique glossy white finish which effortlessly marries soft toned, neutral rooms, whilst the lovely beaded detailing adds subtle texture and charm. Complete with a warm linen lamp shade, this gorgeous ceramic table lamp diffuses a cosy ambiance and tempting mood lighting.
