Lighting for the living room
It will take a lot of lighting. In the daytime it is natural light, in the evening it is artificial. Therefore, it is desirable that the windows in the living room are large, and ideally panoramic. Wood decors are chosen as window frames. For the dark time of the day, think about the illumination system. The light should not be bright, soft unobtrusive sources are needed, which will fill the interior of the living room with comfort and warmth.
Chandeliers, table lamps and floor lamps made of rattan, woven vines, jute fibers, algae, and rami fabrics will look great in the living room. Be sure to make several levels of lighting and provide dim relaxing lighting for cozy evenings.
