Lighting Your Living Room Appropriately

The correct living room lighting can create a delightful atmosphere for you to relax in when arriving

home after a frenetic day. Good lighting can produce an ambiance that will draw family members

together into a space where the elegance of your furniture and walls are highlighted by very good

lighting. The proper lighting can do more for a living room than for any other room in the house.

Living rooms are distinct because of the wide assortment of activities that take place there, so you’ll

need a wide collection of lights to satisfy the varied needs of the people using the living room. Here are

the essential elements of living room lighting.

Natural Light

Using outside natural

globes

light to enhance your living room is not just the most budget-wise choice

for lighting; it's also the healthiest one, because human eyes favor sunlight to that of any artificial

source. You can boost the inflow of natural light by changing your draperies to sheer or pale-coloured

ones. You might also need to consider enlarging the room's windows to permit freer access to the sun’s

rays.

Ambient Lighting

Ambient lighting washes a room in warm, pleasing light without making a lot of shadows. Commonly,

ambient light comes from an overhead light like a pendant or chandelier, or from a torchiere floor lamp.

Usually the light source is covered up by a glass globe or something similar that softens the light and

directs it throughout the room.

Recessed lights can be spread out over the entire ceiling to administer an even, efficient light that

produces little glare. But recessed lights have a modern feel that might not suit your theme.

Having multiple soft

wall lights

throughout the room can create a wonderfully welcoming ambient light.

Wall sconces in association with large, soft overhead fixtures can be a superb combination.

For best control in producing just the right ambience for every situation, every light source in the living

room should have a dimmer or a three-way switch.

Accent Lighting

Accent lighting is a decorator’s tool for pulling the eye to specific areas of the room. It highlights parts of

a room that you'd like people to notice, such as architectural elements of a room that might otherwise

go unseen. There are many brands of fixtures that can create this look. Track lighting, which generally

consists of several spotlights installed to a track, can be a superb way to create accent lighting. Usually,

the spotlight positions are adjustable, so you can customize the light fixture to emphasize specific

elements of the room. Use spotlights and track lighting to exhibit elements like a custom-built fireplace,

works of art, or a wall niche with a display of trinkets and photos.

Task Lighting

Task lighting such as table lamps or free standing floor lamps are ideal if you like to work on individual

projects like puzzle games, paper or crocheting. Living room lamps should be ideally set slightly behind

the area being lighted and a little bit to the right or left. Small track lighting fixtures and other low-level

lights work well when you're using a computer or watching TV.
