How do I add softer lighting to a media wall in a living room alcove?

Add softer lighting to a media wall alcove by installing warm LED strip lights above or beneath shelves to create ambient glow without glare. Picture lights over artwork on the fireplace wall add elegant focal points. Use dimmable fixtures to adjust brightness according to mood and time of day. Avoid harsh overhead lighting near screens to reduce reflections and eye strain. Layered lighting combines function and style, enhancing comfort and aesthetic appeal in a living room media nook.
