Help me with the lighting of the living room

The lamp was bought by the previous owner. What do you think? Is it suitable for this room?

I wonder if it can mount spotlights (as in picture 2). Can you suggest some other solutions? Please advise.

I like you idea. I guess the problem is that you have the only one light for the whole space and do not want to move electrics. You could combine spotlights and hanging lights. Please see pictures below for an inspiration.

I would also add table lights and floor lamps, so you have more options to create interesting space

I agree I would add more table lamps and floor lamps in various corners (near the sofa for one). Overhead lighting can be harsh and lamps can add softness and cosiness to a room. That’s what I’ve done and I rarely use my ceiling light. A nice cosy rug will also be good.

If you put a narrow table behind the couch you could use it as a desk/display area, if it has shelves you could use it for storage for dvd's or whatever. When you place the furniture away from the wall it gives the room a more gracious and airier feel. I don't know if you couch will fit in that direction but it would be worth a try anyway. :) Another thing you do is paint your shelves the color of the wall so it helps the room look brighter.

Hello CG, you can buy some of these and try them on site. From the pictures you posted I get the feeling you have 2 colors with similar saturation both fighting for attention. It's a little too much. I would keep the green but go softer on the red (i.e rust). You can also let yourself be inspired by the grey/silver/bordeaux floral and stripe pillows to create a brand new color scheme using these colors instead. For example, a very soft gray on the walls, gray carpet, grey/bordeaux combo in the curtains and for the sofa accents, pillows similar to these 2. It's decision time. Go for what speaks to you, but do it with elegance :-)

Help please with deciding on living room furniture

hey everyone, So i'm sooo undecided on how to bring our living room together. We painted the chimney breast choc brown and the fire place cream which I like the look of. We have and a brown and flecked cream carpet and duck egg/ brown/ cream /gold striped curtains. The couches are yellowy cream colour but we may be changing them to cream and getting an L shaped couch. The bookcase came with the place so we probably move that out and the sideboard is going in the kitchen where there is a glass cabinet at the moment ( ill also attach photo of the kitchen) and will be getting a different one for the space. The TV stand is a warm oak and the nest of tables are beech. I can't decide on whether to get an oak and cream painted coffee table like this One http://www.greatfurnituretradingco.c...m-coffee-table .I saw it in a shop in dublin but they don't have it online to link it to. Or else a light oak one see image attached. I like the matching sideboard to the light oak coffee table but was unsure if I got both it'd be too matched. Our living room is north facing so a cold room so would want furniture to warm it up. Would get a rug aswell for under the coffee table. Was thinking of putting floating cream shelves above the sideboard and then a nice picture above the couch at the back of the room. I've attached photos of my living room and the furniture. What do people think?? Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You can get spotlights or LED strips installed if you want and like the look. It will be a relatively straightforward job for an electrician. Personally I would switch the existing light for a nice pendant, add a freestanding lamp, a couple of table lamps and fit everything with Thread enabled bulbs so you can customise brightness, colour and mood. It would be a much more flexible and adaptable solution for a living room.
