Tips for Living Rooms
  • Use recessed as a source for General Lighting. Recessed is preferred to light a general area because the light source is also concealed.

  • Consider ceiling fixtures, wall sconces or a floor lamp as complementary . These fixtures are ideal sources of task for reading or playing games, as well as serving aesthetic purposes.

  • Recessed and track are ideal to make a room come alive. These fixtures can be used to accent art work, wall washing, or glazing.

  • Layer with light, using wall washers, downlights, and accent lights on dimmers to create a medley of possible effects – from spacious to intimate.

  • Place light source at various heights within the room (ceiling, table, floor) to add visual interest and human scale.

  • Use translucent shades on table lamps to contribute to the ambient light level.

  • Graze textured walls with our halogen downlights or directionals places close to the wall and aimed downward. Try the 50 watt PAR 20 SYLVANIA CAPSYLITE® lamp.

  • Use a halogen floor-mounted directional fixture with a 50 watt SYLVANIA PAR 30 SYLVANIA CAPSYLITE® lamp under a large plant to create an artistic pattern on the ceiling. For a soft accent, place some wall sconces on either side of your fireplace.

  • Light book cases and stereo cabinets from within, using small-diameter fluorescent or miniature halogen bulbs, such at the SYLVANIA MR16 lamp concealed behind the shelves or DOT®-it Lights - the bright white LED light which are the new smaller light source that out performs incandescent tap lights in both brightness and life.
