What type of lighting is best for the living room?

In general, living room lighting tends to fall into three types: accent, task and ambient. Accent lighting highlights specific objects or areas with track lighting, wall sconces, or picture lights. Task lighting is great for activities such as reading or working, and can be achieved with floor lamps, table lamps, or adjustable wall-mounted fixtures. And ambient lighting, also known as overhead lighting, provides overall illumination and mood setting through ceiling-mounted fixtures, chandeliers, or recessed lighting. Using a combination of these lights can help create a well-rounded and functional design for your living room. Read more about brightness of living room wall lights

What color light is best for living room?

When selecting the best light color for your living room, it's worth considering the color scheme and decor of the space. Warm white lighting generally complements warmer color palettes, such as earth tones, while neutral or cool white lighting can enhance cooler colors and contemporary designs. If you're still not sure, then try a smart light that's capable of producing a range of different colored light. Read more about smart ceiling lights in the living room
