Though it may not seem like it, lighting can make a huge difference in any room of your home. Your lighting choice can impact the mood of the space, as well as the perceived size of the room. When choosing the lighting for your space, you must consider the room's function and size in addition to the placement and type of fixture. For instance, you may want a brighter and more color-accurate lighting system in your kitchen or bathroom for improved function and visibility. Spaces like your living room, bedroom, or basement may benefit from a warmer lighting scheme, creating a relaxing and mellow atmosphere.

Four Types of Residential Lighting

Ambient Lighting

Also known as general lighting, ambient lighting provides a room with overall illumination, making it safer and easier to move throughout the space. It's usually achieved through a combination of different light sources.

Ceiling-Mounted Fixtures: Such as chandeliers, flush-mounts, or semi-flush-mount ceiling lights.

Recessed Lighting: Installed into openings in the ceiling to create a clean look that blends with the architecture.

Wall-Mounted Fixtures: Including sconces and wall lamps that reflect light off the ceiling or walls.

Task Lighting

Task lighting is designed to help perform day-to-day activities, such as reading, cooking, or studying, by providing concentrated light where it's needed most.

Desk Lamps: Offer direct, adjustable lighting for reading or work.

Under-Cabinet Lighting: Provide proper illumination on kitchen countertops making food preparation easier.

Vanity Lights: Installed around bathroom mirrors to provide all the proper lighting to get ready in the morning.

Accent Lighting

Typically, accent lighting is used to add depth and dimension to focal points throughout a room.

Track Lighting: Features adjustable heads that can be directed towards artwork or architectural details.

Picture Lights: Mounted above or on the sides of artwork to draw attention to it.

LED strip lights: Flexible strips that can be used under counters, along architectural details, or behind furniture to create a dramatic effect.

Decorative Lighting

This type of lighting helps to add another design element to your space while still providing light.

Pendant Lights: Generally, these hang from the ceiling and add visual interest and focal points in a space.

Table & Floor Lamps: These not only provide necessary lighting in a room but also serve as decorative pieces.

Chandeliers: Oftentimes, a chandelier is added as a centerpiece in a dining room to provide the perfect amount of lighting for family dinners.
