Different Kinds Of Home Lighting

We all know that lighting despite of its simplicity has the power to transform a dull space into a romantic and serene atmosphere

. But then most of the homeowners fail to realize the importance of lighting, thus often than not lighting is neglected or taken for granted.

But then lighting works best if accentuated in appropriate place. So before buying a gorgeous chandelier, make sure that your interior designer knows where to hand it specifically. There are several types of lighting to consider as you plan a redecorating project:

Accent Lighting

Havent you ever seen a light over Picassos painting that made it seem like the most beautiful painting youve ever seen, like it belonged in an art gallery? This is the end product of accent lighting. Accent lighting emphasizes a particular part of the room or an object. Accent lighting can create the most drama in a room and defines your central point and in this case, the Picassos painting. This can be the most overlooked type of lighting when redecorating; just adding a touch of accent lighting can make a big difference in any room.

Task Lighting

This refers to the lighting to be used in a specific area such as the desk or table and commonly used in personal libraries or room where assignments are done. A table lamp used for reading is one example.

Decorative Lighting Treat this portion as a design element.

It is not used so much as to give off lighting, but to add a decorative touch to the room. For example, a pair of candelabras on a dining room table. A chandelier can be considered as decorative, task and ambient lighting at the same time, ambient lighting for the room as a whole, task lighting for eating your meal, decorative and accent lighting for the dining room table.

General or Ambient Lighting

The overall lighting that illuminates a room is called ambient lighting. The light is diffused throughout the room and produces an overall glow. The lights ability to blend with the setting is a good ambient lighting characteristic to look for.
