Lighting is vitally important not only to make it possible to see objects clearly but also to create an atmosphere in a room. Good lighting is essential in any kind of space, regardless of architectural style, size and function. From living rooms to bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, workspaces and more, choosing the right lighting can make or break the ambience. Lighting can be divided into three categories: ambient lighting, accent lighting and task lighting. Ambient lighting is the general diffused light that fill the space. It is usually provided by overhead ceiling lights or possibly wall washer lights. Accent lighting focuses on one area or object to give it a special spotlight. A classic example of this is artwork lighting. Task lighting is light which is necessary for specific tasks, e.g. bedside lamps for reading in bed. When creating a lighting plan, it is important to take into consideration all of the different things that lighting can do. Besides providing required visibility, lighting must be used to create the desired atmosphere and visually enhance the space. It can be used to add character, set the mood, and even create the illusion of a larger space if used the right way. Combining different sources and layers of light can create a balanced lighting design and accentuate certain areas. The most important thing is that you should make sure you get the right lighting for your space, so you are looking for both the function and the aesthetic qualities of the lights you choose. With some creativity and careful planning, you can create a well-lit space that enhances the architecture and decorating style.
