Lighting Rules in the living room
The basic lighting in any room of an apartment or house is planned at the stage of black repair, and local objects can be placed as they are demanding in a particular area of the room.

Varieties of lighting devices for the living room
A modern lighting scenario involves the use of various devices: from a classic chandelier to mobile tracks and spots.
The chandelier is a classic version of central lighting in the hall. The model is selected depending on the area of the living room, the height of the ceiling and the selected design stylistics, for the spacious front room, suspended models with several tiers or long decor elements are chosen, in a small living room a more appropriate ceiling lamp with several shades. It is important to consider the degree of scattering of rays and lamp power.

Basic lighting scenarios
The room lighting plan consists of several main points, which we offer to consider in more detail.
Central light
This lighting option does not leave dark corners in the living room and gives the room a solemn and comfortable look. The upper light is used when receiving guests or by personal preference. As central lighting, chandeliers and ceiling lamps are used, or ceiling structures from LED devices (tapes, built -in lamps, spots, etc.) are created.
Variant scenario of basic lighting
Local lighting
Functional zones require additional backlight, for which additional lighting is mounted. In addition to sconces, today turning spots or a group of lamps are relevant today, each of which illuminates a specific zone – a dining table, a soft corner, etc.
An interesting option is a built -in backlight, for example, in a TV zone or around a fireplace. LEDs gently affect the eyes, do not cause excessive stress, therefore they are often used in modern everyday life.
Local (working) lighting in the living room
Light as a decorative element
If a lot of effort and means are invested in the design of the living room interior, then it is not worth saving on the originality or luxury of lighting devices.
The design of some lamps resembles works of art, and in others focus on a unique game of light. From LED devices today they create incredible compositions and designs, highlighting the living room not only from above, but also from below or from the walls.

Therefore, when compiling the script, the task is determined, and therefore they choose a decorative compliance with the style.
