Lighting is a very important element of decoration. Proper lighting can make the space come alive and can accentuate the beauty of the decoration. Poor lighting, on the other hand, will make a room look dull and lifeless. Proper lighting is most important in a living room, since it is where we spend most of the time. A good lighting plan should be functional and aesthetically pleasing at the same time. Overhead lighting is a great way to brighten up a space. A chandelier can be used for main lighting and wall sconces should be used for accent lighting. Choose a chandelier that provides a warm and inviting light. Wall sconces should be placed strategically in order to highlight specific areas of the room. Table and floor lamps can be used for task lighting and to create areas of interest. A well lit room is a room you can be proud of. Strategically placed lights can create a beautiful ambiance and draw attention to the best features of the room. In combination with the right furniture and accessories, proper lighting can bring a room to life.
