Ambient Lighting
Ambient lighting is the general lighting in the room. It is characterized by being the predominant type in your room and space. Ambient lighting is the type of lighting you use to navigate your space. Popular types of lighting fixtures to supply ambient lighting include ceiling fixtures, such as pendants and chandeliers, and track lighting. Having great ambient lighting can really set the mood this holiday season. Consider switching to warmer temperature light bulbs to create the perfect effect.
Accent Lighting
Accent lighting is what you think of when you are highlighting certain architectural features of your home or certain object, such as cherished paintings or photographs. Accent lighting can often make your space feel bigger, too. The holidays are a great time to draw attention to your favorite artwork or photographs from the past year. Accent lighting can also be used to highlight your holiday decor, such as your Christmas tree. Let your creativity soar when it comes to accent lighting.
Task Lighting
Task lighting is localized lighting that directs lighting to a focal point, so you can better see your tasks. Think of undercabinet lighting in the kitchen for when you are preparing holiday meals, and a good table lamp for when you read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas outloud. Enough task lighting is necessary to have around during the holiday season, so you and your guests can see the beauty that the holiday season brings.
Decorative Lighting
During the holiday season, decorative lighting takes center stage, as you can choose wonderful lighting in holiday designs that simply bring a smile to everyone's faces. From pendant lights with colored light bulbs to wall sconces in the shape of snowflakes, the sky's the limit for your decorative lighting uses. As an added bonus, put a wonderful decorative light in the guest bedroom to create even more holiday cheer.
Bringing Them All Together
