Use of Decorative Lights in Interior Design

Decorative or accent lighting is often used when a certain architectural feature or a design element needs to be highlighted. It’s different from task lighting, its role being mainly aesthetic. It can be used as mood lighting and can take many different forms, depending the style, the space, its function and lots of other details.

Cove Lighting

Cove lighting is an elegant solution for overhead ceiling lights and a way to create a warm and pleasant ambiance.It allows to highlight beautiful architectural features such as an exposed brick or stone wall etc.

Direct Lighting

Direct lighting is downward focused pendants cast light directly onto the target surface. It is best used on task surfaces such as tables, worktops and counters etc.

Indirect Lighting

Indirect lighting is that it is the opposite of direct lighting. Indirect pendant fixtures cast light upward onto a surface so that it bounces back into the space.

Reflected Lighting

Reflection is defined as the bouncing back of a ray of light into the same medium, when it strikes a surface. It occurs on almost all surfaces.

Chandeliers

These are often used as ambient lighting, chandeliers are generally pretty highly decorative as well. A cascade of crystals flowing from the ceiling is, after all, practically the definition of home jewelry.Chandeliers aren’t just for grand entryways or dining rooms anymore!

Sconces

Sconces are available in a nearly endless variety of shapes, sizes, colors, styles, finishes and prices, wall sconces are great for adding a little sparkle to small areas of a room. They’re also often used in place of a vanity bar of lights in the bathroom.
