A combination of ambient, task, and accent lighting is the best type of lighting for a living room. Ambient lighting sets the mood of the room, whereas task lighting provides focused light for activities like reading or working. Accent lighting draws attention to features such as artwork or architectural details. To create a well-lit and inviting living room, mix table lamps, floor lamps, and overhead lighting. Dimmer switches can also be installed to allow you to adjust the lighting as needed.
