Lighting Tips For The Living Room

When deciding on lighting for your living room space, consider three types of lighting; general, task, and accent lighting. We often recommend having a combination of the different types of lighting for a cohesive look, but will also depend on the activities taking place and your desired look for the space.

Tip 1: Use General Lighting

General lighting helps provide a soft overall illumination throughout the space without making it feel too dark or too bright. This type of lighting helps create the ambient in the space.

Tip 2: Incorporate Task Lighting

If you need a little more light to perform specific tasks such as reading, writing, or knitting, task lighting can often help distribute more concentrated light to a specific direction or space.

Tip 3: Add Accent Lighting

Another consideration is the unique features you might have in your space. If you have artwork, decorative niches, or architectural details that you want to highlight, accent lighting can help draw the attention to those areas.

Tip 4: Consider Dimmer Switches

For a more custom experience, consider dimmer switches to help control the light output in a space. You can dim down the lighting for a more cozy feel, or increase the light output when you are entertaining guests or just need more lighting in the space.
