Lighting for the living room, by type and price
Design IRL Editorial · Prices checked 7 November 2026 · No brand has paid to appear in this guide · How we make our guides
No one light is best for every living room. A reading corner needs something different from a dining table, and prices run from a few hundred rupees to lakhs, so the lights below are grouped by budget.
Prices are as listed on each brand's own site on the date above, and brands can change them at any time. Before you buy, check the current price and whether the brand delivers to your city. Within each band, products are in price order, which isn't a ranking.
Which type of light do you need?
- Ceiling, pendant or chandelier
- Lights the whole room or marks a focal point. Works well for: overall light, or a feature over a seating area.
- Downlights
- Give even or directed light from a recessed ceiling fitting. Works well for: rooms with a false ceiling, or highlighting a wall.
- Wall lights
- Add a soft layer of light without using floor space. Works well for: small rooms, or either side of a sofa or artwork.
- Floor lamps
- Add movable light at seated height. Works well for: reading corners and rooms with no ceiling wiring.
- Table lamps
- Add a low, warm pool of light. Works well for: side tables and consoles.
Most living rooms feel more comfortable with more than one of these, so you can change the light through the day.

What to check before you buy
- Fitting: Does it need ceiling or wall wiring, or does it plug in?
- Bulb: Is one included, and which fitting does it use?
- Light colour: Warm light suits evenings, and cooler light can feel more like an office. Check the colour temperature where it's listed.
- Delivery: Does the brand deliver to your city, and what will it cost?
- Installation: Who fits it, and is that included?
