THE THREE TYPES OF INDOOR LIGHTING
GENERAL OR OVERHEAD LIGHTING
This type of common lighting is the bridge between task and accent lighting and is intended for the general illumination of the room.
TASK LIGHTING
Task lighting focuses light as the name implies on what you are doing, such as reading, cooking, sewing, etc. The goal is to help illuminate a specific place while not intruding on the rest of the space.
ACCENT LIGHTING
This type of lighting is used to focus light on photographs, paintings, artwork, plants steps, and architectural features to bring focus, drama and texture to your interior designed space. Accent lighting is often what makes people most comment on the beauty of a home and can even be used to guide you through a house from focal point to focal point.
Hotels and resorts make great use of accent lighting to enhance the visitor experience and those same techniques can affordably be used in your home.
