Living with Light - Lighting your Living Room
 |
Lighting a living room is a unique challenge, since most living rooms serve multiple functions from relaxing in front of the tv to formal entertaining.
Unlike most other rooms, where their use dictate the position of the lighting fixtures, the living room will benefit from a flexible lighting plan. Lifestyles change over time, and so does the choice and arrangement of the furniture.
Table lamps and floor lamps offer flexiblility for your living room lighting plan. They are practical solutions as task lighting as well as for spreading ambient light and warmth.

A well-lit living room should have good balanced lighting designed with layers of light that blend harmoniously.
For the lighting plan of your living room start out with permanent lighting like recessed or track lighting that will showcase interesting architectural features, furniture or artwork.
A built-in bookcase can profit from a soft, focused light that will help you select your reading material as well as adding an inviting ambiance to the room through the multi-colored variety of the books.
The rustic texture of a natural stone wall can be made a focal point or be toned down by the right choice and placement of light sources.
If you are renting and living in a dungeon, consider using floor torchieres or portable uplights to showcase your favorite items or to add ambient light to a dark corner.
