Here are the essential elements of living room lighting.

Natural Light Using outside natural ceiling fans with lights to enhance your living room is not just the most budget-wise choice for lighting; it is also the healthiest one, because human eyes favor sunlight to that of any artificial source. You can increase the inflow of natural light by changing your draperies to sheer or pale-coloured ones. You might also need to consider enlarging the room's windows to allow freer access to the sun’s rays.

Ambient Lighting Ambient lighting washes a room in warm, appealing light without making a lot of shadows. Normally, ambient light comes from an overhead light like a pendant or chandeliers, or from a torchiere floor lamp. Usually the light source is covered up by a glass globe or something similar that softens the light and directs it throughout the room. Recessed magnifying glass with light can be spread out over the total ceiling to produce an even, efficient light that produces little glare. But recessed lights have a contemporary feel that might not suit your decor. Having multiple soft lights throughout the room can create a wonderfully enticing ambient light. Wall sconces in association with large, soft overhead fixtures can be a sensational combination.
