The actions performed in a room will determine the placement and scope of your lighting. Bright lights are good for rooms where games are played and manual tasks are performed, while softer lights are appropriate for relaxing and reading. Choosing the lighting for a room can either set the mood or ruin it.

Ambient Lighting is a soft glow that envelopes your space just enough for you to function without causing a harsh glare. You create ambient light by making the lighting as natural and ‘neutral’ as possible.

Accent Lighting is often considered ‘directional’ light, as it is often aimed at an object or feature allowing it to stand out in a space. Accent lighting can comprise of flood lighting, spot lighting, track lighting or even wall sconces. It does require at least three times as much light on the focal point as the general lighting around it.

Task Lighting is directional light that is aimed at a specific task, such as reading, writing, or cooking. Desk lamps, light strips, ceiling pendants, and appliance lights are all examples of task lighting.
