Lighting for a basement library?

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

We are turning our basement into a library - floor to ceiling bookshelves. There are a couple of small (6" high x 2' long) windows, but it definitely needs lighting. I would love to be able to see all the books, while keeping it a warm cozy space instead of a bright medical office. Ideas of types of lighting or recommendations of bulbs, greatly appreciated! There is a ceiling light right now, which I'm debating on replacing with a Victorian era shade, and maybe adding floor lamps? Track lighting would work for the shelves, but I think it would be too bright, not the subtle warm light I'm aiming for. Thank you!
