Contemporary Living Room
Recessed fixtures with MR16 halogen lightbulbs provide both ambient and accent lighting in this contemporary living room. Near the fireplace wall, recessed fixtures are positioned to accent the artwork and mantel; the remaining recessed fixtures provide ambient light. In the bookcases, accent lighting for niches is provided by low-voltage halogen lights. All lighting is on dimmers. Lighting design by Markus Earley, Providence, R.I. Photo by Markus Earley
