Cool Lighting Options for Your Living Room
Whether it is for relaxing, reading, or writing, you need appropriate lighting to do all your works in a better way. You can enhance the design of your living room with light fixtures, which combine function with style.
When it comes to living rooms, light layers are often placed to reflect illumination throughout the room. In the living room lighting example given below, recessed and track lighting are used for the overall illumination of the room. A trendy floor lamp is used as task lighting.
Although most light fixtures are used for illuminating a living room brightly, some can be used as accent lighting. In the following lighting example, a pair of decorative sconces is used to add contrast, shape, and texture to the walls. They are placed symmetrically, flanking the large mirror and the fireplace.
If you want to add character to your living room by bringing plentiful light, choose pendant fixtures along with recessed lighting. As shown in the picture below, the beautiful living room with high ceilings has pendant lights that bring the light source close to the point where it’s required, providing visual interest overhead. Light provided by the compact, incandescent fluorescent bulbs in the recessed lighting allow in positioning a downward facing, focused beam precisely where you want it.
You can also consider a combination of floor lamps, recessed lights, and pendant lightings to illuminate your living room in an elegant way, as displayed in the image below. Floor lamps used in this living room distributes the light evenly, minimizing harsh shadows in the room.
