We've all been in rooms that just feel good. They have a
palpable, comfortable atmosphere that makes you want to put up your feet and
stay a while. The lighting scheme in your home has a big influence on the
personality of a room. You wouldn't want a bright overhead light shining down
on an intimate dinner party or a single lamp lighting a space where you're
trying to do a project. The main goal of lighting design is to introduce
varying degrees of light into a room, which are called layers. We are giving you
an insight to 2different types of lighting that you can use. Read it and try.
Ambient Lighting
The purpose of ambient light is to create a diffused,
even light level in a room, and it's the first place to start when creating a
lighting scheme. Ambient light can also refer to a lighting scheme as a whole.
It’s like different small lights that makes up as a whole ambient lighting. The
source usually comes from lights on the ceiling, though sometimes table or
floor lamps can do the trick.
Accent Lights
Accent lights are directional lights whose main purpose is
to provide visual separation in a room. They're secondary lights in a room, and
three to five times brighter than the ambient light level. Wall-mounted
fixtures, such as sconces, are a good example of accent lights, as are table
and floor lamps. For example, a chandelier in your dining room would provide
ambient light, and one or more wall sconces would be the accent lights.
