Steps to Take in Creating Your Home Lighting - Step 3 of 3

Below are the different types of lighting and a description of whether they are general, accent or task lighting.
  • Ceiling fixtures are best used for general lighting.

  • Chandeliers also create a general lighting atmosphere.

  • Dimmers can add drama to any room featuring a chandelier. Don't be restricted to using this feature in the dining room.

  • Hanging fixtures, such as those used in a foyer, will offer general lighting that will create a comfortable level of lighting.

  • Pendants are a versatile way to create task or general lighting. Consider hanging several pendants at various heights over your favorite reading chair for a stylish accent.

  • Portable lamps will create general, task, and accent lighting, but have the added bonus of being mobile.

  • Table lamps, floor lamps, and torchieres come in a variety of shapes and sizes to complement any style.

  • Recessed lighting hides away in your ceiling while offering general, task, and accent lighting.

  • Track lighting is flexible enough to offer each form of lighting and has become a very stylish choice.

  • Wall-mounted fixtures will provide general, task, and accent lighting.
