The shape of the chair is another important factor to take into consideration. A round chair will provide an intimate atmosphere and inspire conversation. A slipper or club chair can be a better fit with an extra-large couch. A rectangular chair isn’t as dramatic, but still works.

Living room lighting

Interior design cannot be complete without adequate lighting. A room that is well lit can create the perfect ambience for relaxing or entertaining. Also, you should consider the types of lights you will need.

Ceiling lights are among the most popular living room lighting fixture. They can be paired with lamps to provide the perfect setting for any event. Recessed LED lights could be a good alternative. They can be placed at strategically placed locations to produce color play and bounce lighting. They can also be dimmed.

For large living spaces, architectural lighting can be another option. This can replace recessed cans or valances that run through the walls. You can also place it over an open fireplace.

There’s also the choice of floor or table lamps. They’re not as extravagant as chandeliers, but they can provide an individual touch to the room. They also provide a fantastic way to save space.

Accent lighting is a fantastic way to highlight architectural features and objects in the room. They can be made with lighting fixtures, table lamps, and downlights. They can be used to brighten up walls.

The ideal lighting for a living room is one that complements the décor. It should also be bright enough for working close. The style of furniture within the room should also be considered.  There are four major types of bulbs for lighting that include halogen bulbs, incandescent bulbs, fluorescent bulbs, and LED bulbs. A dimmable light source can make a big difference in your mood.

In a smaller living space light fixtures like soffit or wall lights can be used to wash the walls with illumination. They can be controlled by wall switches.
