"You should try to combine ambient (ceiling lights), task (floor/table lamps), and accent (wall sconces, LED strips) to eliminate shadows and create depth."
"Directional ceiling spots are a clever way to highlight artwork while saving floor space. Table and floor lamps instantly create ambience, especially if wired to 5-amp sockets for easy control. And if you're not embarking on a full refurb, plug-in wall lights are a brilliant space-saving solution to add decorative or reading light without chasing cables into the walls."
Layer ambient, task, and accent lighting to eliminate shadows and create depth in small living rooms. Ambient ceiling fittings provide overall illumination, task floor and table lamps support reading and activities, and accent wall sconces or LED strips highlight architectural features. Directional ceiling spots focus light on artwork while conserving floor space. Wiring lamps to 5-amp sockets enables simple control and instant ambience. Plug-in wall lights deliver decorative or reading light without chasing cables into walls. Statement pendants and decorative fittings can introduce personality, but restraint prevents overwhelming limited proportions.
