6 Types of home decor lighting by Jesse F Smith
There are literally hundreds of different types of home decor lighting
available. The problem being is many are so different or so similar that it
can be difficult to categorize them effectively. What we do know is that
choosing the best home decor lighting can make a house stand out and shine,
or choosing the wrong types can have your house looking disjointed and
cluttered. So, it is paramount that you choose the best ones, to fit, suit
and give your house a vibrant look.
Ambient lights
It is not direct light but lighting that gives the
atmosphere to a room. Whether it is ground level, hidden, up-lighters or
just giving a glow, this type of home decor lighting is vital to give your
house a mood.
Accent lighting
Down-lighters, spotlights and lens type display lights give the edge to
areas of visual interest. Highlight your favourite furniture or object with
wonderful illumination.
Standard or table
Floor lamps are the stable mate of lighting. Tall, short, chunky or slim,
whichever you choose, it can lift the rooms feel. Be critical in choosing
the lamp-shade, which can make or break a room.
Wall Lights
Similar to ambient lights, this type of home decor lighting is good for bold
statements, decoration and style without the glare and piercing shine which
some bulbs can give.
Chandeliers and Ceiling Illumination
Perfect for dining rooms, studies and anywhere which has a very decorative
nature. No home would be complete without a chandelier or two.
Recessed Lights
Sunken lights are a new phase of illumination which adds a special feeling,
without glare or harshness and really add to the mood of a room or hallway.
