Today the living room is not just reserved for special occasions, but is often the social hub of the home.

It is the place to curl up with a good book, visit with friends, watch TV or entertain.

It is better to have several layers of light in a room.  Start by illuminating points of interest in the room. Find architectural details like artwork on the walls, a bookcase, heavy beams or a natural stone fireplace. Once they are lit this alone will add a considerate amount of accent light to the room. 

Once you have lit your focal points, look for your task areas: Your favorite reading chair, a sitting area, a baby grand piano. You want "pools of light" to give these areas atmosphere. It's all about creating a feeling of comfort well being.
