Knowing how to properly illuminate your beautiful home is both an incredibly important endeavor and also a significant challenge to tackle. Knowing the right sizes, styles, quantity and more regarding lighting design is a lot to manage when you are looking to tie in fixtures to your existing design scheme. From overhead lighting to decorative lamps, here are two secrets to finding the perfect lighting for your living room:
- Discover the balance: Instead of relying solely on artificial or natural lighting, learn to use both to your advantage. A room that relies too heavily on outdoor light will seem dim or uninviting. Meanwhile, a room that only utilizes harsh, artificial overhead lighting could be equally as unappealing. Mix up your decorating scheme with both decorative overhead lights and stylish decorative lamps, along with harnessing your home's natural light. Utilizing bulbs that give off a low, gentle glow will also help set the mood of the room.
- Consider your space: Do you have a particularly comfy armchair where you spend a large amount of time reading or watching television? If so, ensure that this area is well lit to avoid damaging your eyes, along with making your space even more inviting than it already is. The best way to achieve this is through an easily accessible floor lamp or chic table lamp to place on your favorite end table. Within this category, also consider how low or high your ceiling is in order to determine whether or not overhead lighting is the best option for your living room. If not, strategically use a combination of eclectic floor and table lamps to light your space.
