Answer

Create lighting flexibility by combining multiple dimmable sources layered across ambient, task, and accent functions. Use a sculptural chandelier with a dimmer for general light, add wall sconces and table lamps on separate dimmer circuits, and choose warm, adjustable bulbs. This setup allows bright daylight settings and softer, cozy evenings. Smart plugs or wireless controls can enhance flexibility too. Layering these sources ensures your living room lighting adapts seamlessly, making the space comfortable, flattering, and functional from noon through late at night.
