### Perfect Seating Options

The first thing you ought to think about adding to your living room is a comfy couch,
club chair, or set of recliners. The type of seating you choose will depend on your
preferences and needs. If you want to be able to lay back, a recliner will give 
you a better experience than a sofa.

For most people, a bigger couch with the right combination of “squish” and support
is optimal for a lazy evening reading or watching shows.

### Relaxing Lighting and Fixtures

Picking the best lighting for a space creates ambiance. If your bulbs are bright
and harsh, your lighting won’t lend itself to being relaxing and laid back. For 
a cozy atmosphere, look for soft white light bulbs.

You can also plan to minimize the amount of artificial light by placing your fixtures
strategically. If you have lots of natural light and a well-placed fixture, your
room will be more subdued and tranquil.
