Lighting is the use of lights to accomplish a practical or aesthetic effect. The selection of lighting can be especially helpful in creating the desired ambience in all kinds of spaces, including residential, commercial, and hospitality applications. The selection of the right type of lighting depends on several factors, including environment, desired mood, and style. In addition to creating a certain look and feel, lighting can also be used to illuminate a specific area, allowing one to better appreciate and admire various details of a room design. Good lighting is essential for a well-designed home or space. It provides an inviting and relaxing atmosphere. It can be used to create an inviting atmosphere through task lighting, accent lighting, and washing walls with various level of light. Task lighting provides visibility and ranges from dim, warm lamps to bright spotlights - ideal for reading, cooking, and performing other hands-on tasks. Accent lighting highlights certain objects, such as artwork, or special architectural features. Finally, washing walls with light helps to create a defined yet comfortable atmosphere, which fixtures such as wall sconces, track lights and up-lighters can achieve. The type of lighting used should be considered carefully and well planned, with the same amount of thought going into the positioning of the elements. The focus of lighting should also be considered when selecting lights, as it can add to the ambience and scale of the space. Therefore, it goes without saying that lighting is one of the most important aspects in any space, and selecting the right lighting fixtures and techniques should contribute to creating the desired ambience and mood.
