Consider all the things you do in this space: perhaps you enjoy reading in a comfy armchair in the corner, or you like watching movies with the lights down low... The living room is a multi-tasking space, so your lighting needs to be flexible. Consider multipurpose lighting options, such as a two-in-one light and speaker, or perhaps a floor lamp that doubles up as a shelf. A cordless, portable lamp that you can move around with ease is also a handy addition.
