Think about the largest room in your home, whether it's your living room, your master bedroom, or your finished basement. It's a space where you do all kinds of activities - watching TV, listening to music, reading books, playing games with your family, or having coffee with friends. You may find yourself adjusting the room's lighting depending on the task at hand. But have you ever considered how proper lighting can transform your large room into a truly elevated space?
With the right layers of light, you can easily set the ambiance in your large room. Whether you have traditional recessed lights in the ceiling or decorative accent lights, the following ideas will help you take your large room lighting to the next level. So, get ready to enjoy a nifty crafts project, an immersive reading experience, or a transcendent listening session!
Why do you need large room lighting?
-
Elevate your surroundings: Imagine setting up your dream large room scenario - a huge comfy couch or a big-screen TV - but the space still feels cold and uninviting. The right large room lighting setup can elevate the entire space and help you achieve the cozy vibe you're looking for.
-
Set the mood: The right fixtures can add the finishing touches you need for the perfect surroundings. Consider using a Sky Lite Evolve Galaxy Projector for a relaxing experience like no other, or simply dimming the bulbs to create a cozy atmosphere for watching your favorite movie.
-
Add personality: You're not a dull person, so why settle for a dull room? Transform your large room from boring to beautiful with a layered lighting approach. Unusual and attention-grabbing fixtures can showcase your personality quirks more strongly than plain old ceiling lights.
-
Illuminate the entire room: A single lamp in the corner won't reach every corner of your large room. With a smart approach to lighting, you can flood any part of your room with ample, bright light at just the flick of a switch.
-
Fit your needs: The right lighting is key to properly illuminating all the tasks you and your family do in a large room. A large lamp won't be effective if you're trying to read a book, and a task lamp won't do the job if you need to illuminate the entire room. Fill your large room with the right mix of fixtures to avoid these issues and cater to your activities perfectly.

Eight large room lighting ideas
With these eight ideas for brightening up your large room, you can decorate, create the perfect reading or crafts space, dim it for relaxation, or achieve any lighting scenario you desire:
1. Colorful LEDs or lasers
When it comes to large room lighting ideas, there is an array of options beyond the usual white, off-white, or yellow colors. Say goodbye to predictable and blah lighting! Consider colorful LEDs or laser lights to add a touch of magic to your space. LEDs can shine in virtually any color on the rainbow, while lasers offer a brighter and more mesmerizing experience. For example, the laser Ark Ambient Aurora Light creates a tranquil display of a green aurora dancing within a blue nebula that spans your entire room.

2. Sculptural fixtures
Why settle for mounting art on your walls when you can combine it with lighting? Sculptural lights serve as both decorative fixtures and a source of illumination. These unusually shaped fixtures can be hung on the wall, installed overhead, or even used as table lamps. They add a touch of modern art to your large room and become a centerpiece themselves.
3. Accent lighting
If you have sculptures, paintings, or other objects you want to highlight in your large room, accent lighting is the way to go. These fixtures can be installed along the sides of an art piece, enhancing its visual impact while seamlessly blending into your interior design.
4. Transparent lighting
Transparent lighting offers a unique and captivating experience. Surrounded by transparent panels made of glass or plastic, these fixtures amplify the sun's rays and the colors emitted by the bulbs. The result is a mesmerizing pattern lining your large room's walls and ceiling.

5. Low-hanging fixtures
If your large room has long dimensions but lacks height, low-hanging fixtures can create the illusion of ample height. These pendant lights come down from the ceiling to within a few feet of a central furniture piece, such as a coffee table. Not only will your room appear taller, but you'll also enjoy accent and ambient lighting throughout the space.
6. Floor lamps
Don't limit yourself to ceiling lighting when it comes to illuminating your large room. Floor lamps can provide the much-needed ambient light foundation from ground level. Simply screw in standard bulbs or try the color laser BlissBulbs for an added touch of vibrancy. With floor lamps, you can easily bring your large room to life and create beautiful lighting designs effortlessly.

7. Task lights
A big room means multiple areas with different purposes. Whether you have a reading corner, a seating area, or a space for arts and crafts, each area deserves its own task lights. By providing specific lighting for each activity, you ensure that everyone can do exactly what they came to do - read comfortably, enjoy dim lighting for TV, or have bright light for crafting projects. The possibilities are endless!
8. Decorative lighting
Why settle for ordinary lighting when you can turn your room into a setting where the lights themselves become the decorations? BlissLights projectors and portable USB-powered devices are perfect for this task. For example, the StarPort Laser USB can fill your room with gentle arrays of stars, while the Sky Lite Evolve Galaxy Projector creates multicolor skies. With lasers, you can effortlessly decorate and illuminate your giant room, setting just the right mood.
