Adjust to the Size of The Living Room

Light Direction
Each lighting fixture provides light in different directions. If you want to illuminate a certain dark area in the living room, you can use a spotlight or place a corner table with a lampshade on it. You can use uplighters to highlight decorative ceilings. There are so many ways you can do to turn the living room with light. There is a type of lighting from the bottom to a higher area or the lighting from the ceiling to the lower area. You can also provide a static lamp like a closed lamp.
Natural Light
Designing a lighting system doesn’t mean you will use artificial lighting all the time. Better to use natural light during the day. Make a curtain design that allows light into the living room during the daytime. Or you can use a thin curtain or even a transparent curtain. Or a commonly used technique is to install a glass roof in a certain area.
Light Color
Currently, the lights are present in various colors. There are halogen lamps that can create an atmosphere as if it were fairly effective daylight for a room that cannot get sunlight. Colored lights can also provide a warm aura into the room. You can also use lights that emit white light to make it look more natural.
Create an Atmosphere
Lighting can also affect the aura of the environment. Now you have to decide what kind of atmosphere you want. To change a different atmosphere, you can use dimmed lights. Or you can add some wall lights for soft low-level lighting. A chandelier can also be used to perform this technique.
Light on Certain Areas
There may be areas in your house that require special lighting like aisles. You can channel creative ideas in designing lighting here. You can use wall sconces or lampshades that can make it look better. It can also be an additional decoration that makes it look more beautiful and not boring.
Create Illusions
To make the room look more spacious, from both sides of the wall opposite the light bright enough to make them look far apart. The bright sidewalls will make the room look more spacious. If necessary, use a mirror to reflect space or light.
Not all the houses have a special place to put the lights. If your home has natural light during the day. But if there is a special light loophole, you can put a chandelier light. If you don’t really like the idea of a chandelier or an overhead lamp (a lamp mounted in the ceiling-RED), then a largely curved floor lamp can be an option. If there is a television in the living room, be wise in placing the lights, so as not to bounce off the screen. Make sure the lights can be dimmed to avoid too dazzling lights.
