Living Room Lighting


Choosing which lighting to use in your living room can be a trickier business than it appears. Remember that lighting stores are by definition well lit, and that it is hard to tell how much light your new lamp will actually shed in your room by what you see in the store.

Ideally, your house will be set up with light fixtures that will not require you to light and entire room with lamps. There are many types of light fixtures, and most are relatively in style. One of the current fashions is the use of the pot light, which also provides some flexibility as you can train the light where you want it to go. Embedded light fixtures are even better, especially in a house that shelters tall people. Hanging lights are a constant problem with residents and company over 5’10”, and it is embarrassing to have people constantly bashing their heads in your kitchen. If you find hanging lights appealing, place them safely in corners and not in the main walkways of your house.
