Livingroom Lighting
Nowadays living rooms are not reserved just for special occacions. The living space is frequently the social center of the home.
It is the place to curl up with a good book, watch tv, visit with friends or entertain formally.
Unlike the kitchen and bathroom, where the position of the light fixtures is pretty much determined by the built-in furniture and appliances, the living room needs a more flexible lighting plan.
Lifestyles change over time, and furniture gets moved around. That’s the reason portable lamps work so well in a living area.
It’s amazing how good lighting can change a space. And it doesn’t even have to be expensive. A few tricks make a huge difference in making the living room feel comfortable and inviting. I do so many home consultations where all I do is to haul a few floor and table lamps out from various nooks and crannies throughout the house and demonstrate how creating “pools of Light” creates atmosphere.
