Living Room Lights

Layering different types of fixtures can make the space bright and ensure you have extra light where you need it for activities like reading and entertaining. To create your living room light design, consider the following types of fixtures:

• Chandeliers:In large spaces, statement-making chandeliers can work well as living room ceiling lights.
• Pendants: Add extra lighting where you need it with a pendant living room ceiling light.
• Flush mount lights:With their low-profile designs, flush mount lights can work well as ambient ceiling lights for a living room with a low ceiling.
• Sconces: These wall lights can serve as task lighting beside the sofa or function as accent lights for highlighting artwork and other decor.

After you've decided which types of living room lights are right for you, turn your thoughts to:

• Color:Select housing finishes that complement your palette.
• Style: Amplify your interior design style with coordinating fixtures throughout the space.
• Bulbs:LED lights for living rooms are long-lasting and eco-friendly. Plus, they can help to keep your space cooler, as LEDs emit less heat than some other bulb types.
• Wattage: How bright should living room lighting be? The ideal brightness of the light output is up to your personal preference, however, you should refer to the specifications of each fixture model to choose the right light bulb.
• Use: When deciding where to put lights in a living room, think about the purpose they will serve – will they provide ambient, task, or accent lighting?
