When selecting the lighting for your living room, ask yourself what its purpose will be. Will it be for aesthetic or practical purposes?
Including table lamps within your living room lighting design will add an additional dimension and layer of light to the room, as well as being practical when placed beside a chair.
A central hanging light, when supported by other sources of light, can act as a decorative feature that will draw eyes to the centre of the room. It is also an opportunity to really show off your style.
When the evenings get darker, avoid losing out on the beauty of your artwork by installing picture lights above or below the piece. The light will bounce from the art, further adding to the ambient atmosphere you have created.
