Add interest to your contemporary living room by introducing chrome through furniture and accessories like the floor lamp here that has the finish of gleaming chrome plating. This silver orb makes a statement in the space and it’s excellent for directing atmospheric pools of light over the area. An arc floor lamp is the best alternative to the ceiling light fixture in a living room, especially one with low ceiling height, because it directs more of the light over the area instead of having it pool in the corner.
