Living In Harmony

At the turn of the 19th century, families retired to the living room for after-dinner conversations and games.

Today, it's game shows and Game Boys®.

The ways we live may have changed, but the need for an inviting and comfortable environment in which to do it hasn't.

Choosing living room lighting is easy if you plan for style continuity in adjacent rooms.

One example: A mid-century modern Ranch with an Ellis in the dining room, a Pembrook in the kitchen, and a Manning and pair of Dorenas in the living room.

Look for harmony in similar shapes, and build interest through different proportions and lengths.
