Can you suggest some lighting?

[DueyCheatemAndHow]

I hate my lounge - it's so glaring.

Any suggestions to improve? Would gold look too much? Sofas are brown apart from the cream one you can see

if you replace the bulbs with dimmer ones, would that fix the issue?

the light fittings look OK for the age & style of the room, and I'm not a fan of gold.

It might do I'm just not sure it would make it any warmer. Worried we need shades but that would just look so dated and not in a good way!
