Living room requires three different lighting – task, accent and ambient. Make sure you have all three to make your space functional as well as attractive.
Ambient lighting adds overall illumination to the room, while task light directs light to work zones. Accent lights highlight the décor items you are most proud of.
If you have a larger room with wooden flooring, multiple pot lights will do the wonder. You can choose ceiling accent lights to add unique details to your space.
The options for lighting are endless. You can choose sculptural sconces, arc task lighting, built-in accents; you name it.
