Successful living room lighting is best accomplished with a variety of different fixtures. Ceiling lights give living rooms a sleek and modern look. Pendant lights hang over specific areas of the living room like a coffee table. Chandeliers hung next to furniture cast a welcoming pool of light and practically invite guests to sit down and enjoy the room. Use track lighting for general lighting or accent lighting to illuminate objects that are architectural details, artwork or furniture. Flush mount, semi-flush lighting can also be used as another layer of light.
