3 kind of lighting every home needs

In talking about home decor, we find a lot of different things to focus on. We focus on color and on pattern, on furniture pieces and rugs, even on sink fixtures and textile patterns. But rarely do we devote the same level of attention to lighting and the way that the right lighting can literally change the way you see a room. One reason for this is that lighting can be complicated; there are a lot of questions to ask.

              

       What lamps do you need for your space? What wattage? Do you need a pendant or a ceiling lamp? Two table lamps or one floor lamp? The questions just go on and on. But before you throw up your hands and start lighting candles, don't worry; we are going to simplify everything by talking about which lighting solutions work best in different situations so that you can find the one that best suits your needs

Let’s start by talking about the three basic types of lighting: ambient, task, and accent. "Ambient lighting" is term that is used in different ways in a lot of different industries, so the definition we'll use here is accurate strictly with regard to interior design. For interiors, ambient lighting refers to the primary lighting that you use to light up the entire space. Ambient light usually comes in through table, floor, ceiling, and/or recessed lighting in your space.

The level of illumination generated by ambient light should be adequate for you navigate your home comfortably and safely.

Notice how the lighting choices in this image are all about symmetry and drama. The pair of matching table lamps, which are a good source of ambient light, can be a good design choice to go with if, as above, you are designing a space around pairs. But the dramatic pendant that sits in the center, serving as the room's primary source of ambient light, is a really nice detail that breaks up all of the duplicate furniture and accessories and keeps it from becoming monotonous. Meanwhile, the turquoise table lamp is another good choice because it connects with the dominant color of the room.

Accent lighting is used to add drama to your space. It highlights the key visual elements in the room, drawing attention to prized possessions like a favorite collection or an art wall. You might look for accent lighting to spotlight dishes in your credenza, a floor plant in the corner, or a painting hanging above the fireplace. But whatever it is you want people to see when they enter your space, there's no better way to make sure they do than by shining a light on it.
The accent lighting in this library is focused (quite naturally) on the books in this space. A lot of accent lighting requires extensive hardworking, and, beautiful as it is, if it wasn't there when you moved in, installing lighting like this will most likely require hiring an electrician. When looking at a lighting install, if you want your wires hidden and your possessions safe, please call a professional. It will save you a lot of headaches, and your home will look better for it when it's all done.
