5 expert-approved lighting tips to transform your living room

Lighting can transform a room more than furniture or décor, according to TISVA senior vice president Vikram Singh Dhingra.

Layer ambient, task, and accent lighting instead of relying on a single overhead fixture to create depth and balance.

Choose warm white lighting for living rooms and bedrooms, and cooler lighting for kitchens and workspaces.

Use wall lights, spotlights, or concealed LED strips to highlight artwork, decorative pieces, or architectural features.

Install dimmable fixtures or multiple lighting zones to adjust brightness and create flexible moods for different activities.
