CREATE AN AMBIENCE WITH LOW LIGHTING
Lighting is a key factor to consider in any room and can change the whole atmosphere of a space. In an autumnal winter living room, you want the lighting to be warm and minimal to reflect a relaxed and calming feel to the room. If you have a large amount of natural light coming into the space it is best to go for a side table lamp and floor lamp as a pose to bright pendant lights. This will add a gentle touch of light, keeping the room feeling tranquil. If there is minimal or no natural light coming into the space depending on the size of the room have a balance between a pendant light and lamps. To create an even more serene ambience in the evenings use only table lamps and light some fall scented candles or hand-carved pumpkins with a warm fire burning.
