Question 2

What type of lighting is best for the living room?

Accepted Answer

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.
