Home Decor Lighting

Is accent lighting driving you up the wall? If you want to be one of the bright young things then turn on to some sparkling home decor lighting ideas

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.  Coloured lights
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.
