Lighting is essential for a successful home decor, as it can provide a different ambience. It adds on to the overall visual impact of the space and can be used strategically to highlight the best features of the room. A good lighting design is the combination of task, ambient, accent and decorative lighting. Task lighting is lighting focused on a particular area in order to complete certain tasks, such as cooking, writing or reading. It should be bright and directed onto the area where task lighting is needed. Ambient lighting is the overall illumination of a room. It should be bright enough that it is not tiring on the eyes, but not too bright. Accent lighting is used to highlight certain areas of the room for greater visual impact. It is typically directional in that it shines on a certain object like a piece of artwork, a sculpture or a fireplace. Decorative lighting is the type of lighting used to make a room personally more attractive or inviting. Such lighting may include sconces, pendant lights, wall lamps or chandeliers. There are several factors to consider when designing lighting for a room, such as colour and the intensity of light. The correct combination of lighting will create the desired mood of a space and make it more inviting.
