Light layers

adequate light fills a space with life and an undeniable sense of comfort. To achieve this, approach your lighting strategy in layers, specifically ambient, task and accent lighting. ambient lighting should be the general lighting in the room, easily achieved with standard ceiling lights. Task lights create focused areas of illumination achieved with pendants, desk or vanity lights. Lastly, introduce accent lighting that creates a dramatic mood or accentuates architectural or design features in the room. This is achieved with sconces, picture or recessed lights.
