If you understand the three types of lighting and their uses, you will be well on your way to mastering this art, and creating spaces that look and function beautifully.  Consider this your lighting 101.

Have you heard of layers of lighting?  Lighting layers refers to having different types of lights in a room to meet different needs.  The three types of lighting are ambient, task and decorative.  Ambient lighting refers to general room lighting. Ambient light can be provided by ceiling lighting, or fixtures or sconces that bounce light up to the ceiling.  Bouncing light off the ceiling is a good way to help light up dark corners. Task lighting is exactly what it says: light necessary to perform a task.  Examples are desk lamps, and lighting placed  under an upper kitchen cabinet to light the counter workspace.  Accent lighting is considered to be the room’s sparkling jewelry.  Accent lighting can be decorative lighting: chandeliers, pendants, sconces or table or floor lamps that provide glittery ambiance. Or it can be lights directed at a certain object to highlight it, such a a sculpture or other piece of artwork, or a plant, even a cherished furniture piece.
