Lighting Tips for Living Rooms [2]

Since living rooms are one of the first rooms you walk into, it sets the tone for the rest of the house, so lighting is important because of the affinity it creates. If lighting sets the tone, let’s consider other brilliant ideas for your living room.

Stylish chandeliers, ceiling lights, wall-mounted fixtures or portable lamps can provide the ambiance that casts a warm glow in your living room. It controls glare and provides the general illumination that makes the living room feel comfortable and inviting. Since this type of lighting affects the overall quality of light in the room and tends to be used the most, this is where you want to use your energy-efficient solutions.

When you want to create interest and add sparkle to your living room, table lamps, hanging pendants and chandeliers can provide the decorative light that adds coziness and intimacy, it personalizes your space.

When you want to read a book or need to write at the desk, good task lighting helps you get things done. This brighter light can be a floor lamp with a swinging arm next to a comfortable chair, or a directed light source over a desk. Portable table lamps allow for flexibility, these are not the lights you use all the time, they are only to be used when you are doing a task; like reading or writing.
