One of the keys to creating a comfortable and flexible room is to layer the lighting.
Use a mix of ambient, task, accent lighting to delineate different zones. Moroccan lamps & lanterns create ambience and make a space welcoming. Give each part of the room a flattering glow to celebrate great moments.

Begin with the ambient, or general, layer, this is the light that simply makes the room visible. Next, consider the task lights you will need for you and your family to read, work, or play. Add an accent layer, lanterns & lamps that focus on objects or architectural features you want to highlight or light sources that create specific moods.

Ambient lighting in a living room is especially important because the room is often occupied by more than one person. Whether its from sunlit windows or skylights during the day or from flush, recessed, or hanging ceiling fixtures at night, ambient light offers the broad wash of diffused illumination required for soft, general lighting as lamps & lanterns provide.

Task lighting is typically provided by Moroccan table lamps or Moroccan rustic floor lanterns, recessed can lights, or a combination of the two. Task lights are the most versatile in a moroccan lighting plan, because you can rearrange them or change their look with a quick switch of shades. It’s important to keep the contrast low between levels of general and task lights, both for a pleasing balace and to avoid eyestrain.
