Living Room Cove LED lighting
Home Improvement Month
Most people spend a lot of time and resources ensuring that they have the perfect sofa and the perfect throw or cushions to accompany the sofa. Time and care are taken to cultivate a collection of living room furnishings that invoke a sense of home and relaxation. However, the most important aspect that is overlooked when it comes to living room design is lighting. The living room serves as a retreat space, the place people go to unwind from a hard day before heading to bed or to catch up on the day’s events with loved ones. Appropriate lighting in this space is going to set the perfect tone for relaxation and together time, transforming the space into a cozy retreat. One way to add homey lighting in the living room is by installing LED strips along a cove or tray ceiling. Cove lighting is a wonderful way of adding cozy ambient light to any living room while also fostering timeless aesthetic appeal.
Cove lighting with LED strips involves running the strip lights along crown moldings or a tray/recessed ceiling for a cozy yet modern lighting effect. Since LED strips are low-profile (ranging from 8mm to 12mm in width), they can be placed in tight spaces that other lighting sources cannot. An added plus is that strip lights are also fully dimmable, allowing you to dim the lights to suit your activities or mood. If you want to create a party-like atmosphere, RGB LED strips can be used to add color and cool effects. If you’d like the option of switching between colored light and white light, the RGB+White LED strips are the ideal strip to fulfill your lighting and aesthetic needs.
Get The Look Options:
Here is what you will need if you want to replicate the look and feel of this kitchen:
Option 1: The UltraBright™ Design Series LED Strip Lights in Natural White were used to illuminate this living room cove. The strip is a task lighting strip that provides an abundance of ambient light but can also be dimmed to set a relaxing atmosphere.
Option 2: If you’re wanting accent lighting and have other task lights in the room, the ColorBright™ White Series in Natural White would be the perfect option. This strip is perfect for mood lighting and is not as bright as the UltraBright™ Design series strip lights.
Option 3: For a touch of color with the added option of white light use the Colorbright™ RGB+White LED strip lights. Half of the LED chips on this strip are dedicated to colored light and the other half for white light making it the ultimate all-in-one strip.
