The living room can serve different purposes, and its lighting scheme should reflect that. While the rule is that three out of four corners should be lighted by lamps in order to avoid dark spots, there are no limits when it comes to style. Whether your living room is primarily used for entertaining loved ones or simply watching television, the right lighting can enhance your space. Here, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite statement lighting ideas, from a marble table lamp to a sculptural chandelier.
