Highlighting the picture with proper lighting is an art. an interior decorator ought to be an expert in the art of placing picture lights because they can highly appreciate the aesthetic appeal of a room.

Wall scones and spot lights are usually used for lightning up a picture or statue. The placement of the light is also important.
