Lights are such an integral factor in home decorating as they can create the ambiance of and set the mood for any room. Since people tend to gather in the living, or family, room most of the time, layering lights is particularly essential to brighten up the space. Ambient Lighting To achieve ambient lighting and avoid shadows, it is a good idea to get away from recessed lights and other light fixtures that create a downward direction. In the living room, you want to bounce the lights off the ceiling to create a sense of brightness. Opting for valance or cove lighting may also help you accomplish ambient illumination. You can also install linear fluorescent lighting behind your entertainment unit or bookcases if they do not go all the way to the ceiling. Washing the living room walls with light can also provide ambient lighting. If you decide to do so, recessed lighting may be useful. To accomplish light-washed walls, direct recessed or valance lighting toward the walls instead of directing them downward. You can try using floor light fixtures such as a plug-in floor lamp to achieve the same effect, as well. Task Lighting This type of light should ideally be about 400 lumens, and may be provided by adjustable lamps, reading lamps with incandescent or LED bulbs, and other kinds of table lamps. Accent Lighting Accent lighting, on the other hand, is usually integrated in the living room to give emphasis on architectural elements. This may be a sculpture, a bookcase, a painting, or a fireplace. Track or recessed lighting may be used to emphasize a hanging artwork, while up-lights may be placed on the floor near a sculpture or a plant. The Concept of Layering Another way of introducing the concept of layering into a room is through embracing a new lighting design. You may install a soffit right above the fireplace; have valance lighting run along the walls; and add a table lamp beside a reading chair. All this lighting may be controlled using a keypad with preprogrammed settings to make switching the lights on or off easier. In a living room that isn’t too large, a quick, energy-efficient fix to achieve better lighting is to replace the switch with a dimmer. This also adds versatility as a dimmer allows you to control how much light you want the room to get.
