Impeccable living room lighting consists of layers of illumination carefully deployed to draw attention to walls, decorations, adjacent furnishings, and congruence with interior design. This is not as difficult as it sounds if you break down lighting the living room into simple matters of luminance level, color, and distribution, then choosing the appropriate fixture and knowing where to position it follows naturally almost as a logical matter of course.

Pay attention at all times to all furniture, bookshelves, and even fine art take when choosing RLLD living room lights, and avail yourself of our complimentary consultations if you feel you need a specialist’s help in developing your plan for installation.

What fixtures make for a good eclectic or avant-garde living room lighting design?
Compact fluorescent living room lights are ideal for both eclectic decorating and functional lighting in living rooms of any size. Their power energy efficiency is second only to LED, and new ballasting technology now makes it possible to install them on dimmer switches. Our fluorescent compacts feature geometric shapes of all kinds to counterbalance curvature of furniture and angle of the room. They are ideal for the avant-garde and eclectic in taste.

What fixtures work well on dimmer switches?
Contemporary living room lighting fixtures work very well with dimmer switches, and are often the best friend of the innovative and trendy living room lighting designer. This section of our inventory alone has over 400 fixtures from which to choose—and it continues to grow daily. Contemporary living room lighting also offers glare free task lighting and even decorative colored lighting to match any interior design theme conceivable.

What is the best light source for a living room in a large custom home?
Crystal lighting in a living room lends a sense of sophistication, classicism, and refinement that simply cannot be outdone. Not only do the fixtures themselves appear more ornamental and skillfully wrought, but the quality of light produced by crystal has a much more unique and vibrant quality to it as well. Crystal refracts light like a prism, casting it simultaneously in all directions at once. Our crystal living room lights feature hand craftsmanship that equals that of chandeliers, and clients looking to mount a pendant or chandelier as a centerpiece light in the living room may therefore want to consider decorating with a primarily crystal theme.

What type options do you have that will create an Art Deco look?
Rustic and iron living room lighting fixtures lend themselves well to any Art Deco, Spartan, or less-is-more approach to design. For smaller living rooms, consider hand-made, single light sconces to go along the walls. Light bars are another hot item to be found in this section. Hanging suspended from the ceiling, they make excellent keynotes above doorways leading to hallways and kitchens. Colored lights for the living room abound in this section as well; so decorators looking to add a frontier or colonial look to the environment have much to choose from in this category.

What do you have that is truly unique?
Transitional living room lighting, which, as its name suggests, represents the “middle ground” between classic and contemporary styles. For homes with unique floor plans, this often proves to be a preferred style because it brings tradition to the table reminiscent of larger custom homes and simultaneously adds elements of the innovative and futuristic. In this section, find up lights and down lights in fine glass work fixtures that create unique and varied patterns of lighting along walls, eclectic 3-D art, and modern furniture.
