The value of good lighting in your living rooms cannot be overstated.It does not have to be costly as a key part of your home decor budget in order to greatly enhance your living room.
Some other things to consider are:
* height of furniture in the room - floor lamps will be ideal where it can be placed to provide light from overhead
* space available for floor-based lamps - in a small room with little space a ceiling or wall based light source may be more appropriate than a floor lamp
* the use and placing of mirrors- the can make use of cleverly placed sources of lighting to to reflect and create the required ambience
* availability of windows and doorways that provide occasional natural light - some living areas may be rather dark most of the time where a well chosen light source will lift
* directional need for a light source
* what the area to be lighted is specifically used for and if it should it be bright or subdued- a corner nook for reading and quiet reflection
Here is both a combination of uplighter and downlighter for an instant effect on the ambience and functionality of your living room.
This versatile and adjustable free standing light source has a black metallic pole with short armature for directing a warm reading light over a sofa or easy armchair situated in a cosy nook in your room.The drum fabric shade provides the duel effect of both uplighter and downlighter.The height of the stand is a maximum of 5 ft and is adjustable to 45 inches.A long life LED bulb is provided.
The lamp is a classic minimalist design and will complement most design schemes adding both an intimate and functional setting and providing a plentiful amount of light.
For me this is a simple design which gives it its appeal of modernism suited to a mid-century scheme of unadorned straight lines and set curves and uncluttered space between living room furniture.
