Understanding the lighting basics

Let’s start with the basics. Before you rush to find the perfect lamp shade for your hallway or bedroom, take some time to consider the type of light that you actually need. To do so, you have to understand the three basic types of lighting design usually found in a home: ambient, task and accent. So, what’s the difference? As the name suggests, ambient lighting is used to create atmosphere in a room. To set the right mood, think of using basic fixtures such as chandeliers, track lights and other ceiling lights. Task light, on the other hand, is more concentrated and illuminates a particular spot, such as your bathroom, a desk, or kitchen counters. Common types of task lights include pendant lights, table or desk lamps, as well as under-cabinet lighting.

Add some serious impact with accent lighting

Finally, there's accent light. This is used to highlight a specific feature in your home, and will often add some serious style and impact. Common types of accent light include wall lamps, spotlights, recessed lights and even candlelight. Remember though, that you don't need to limit yourself to just one type of lighting. Instead, try combining all three for a stunning arrangement that perfectly balances style, brightness and function. Ready to start choosing?
