When you are designing a home interior, many things come to mind: the right furniture in the right place, wall art that expresses your personal tastes, attractive flooring, and so on. But to establish real harmony and make a dazzling effect in a room, lighting is an essential consideration. At Lightstyle of Tampa Bay, we offer more than just table lamps and standard overhead fixtures. Our professionals will help you achieve true indoor elegance with layered lighting near St Petersburg, FL.

So, what exactly is layered lighting? Layering refers two three indoor lighting elements: ambient, accent, and task lights.

Ambient – This first layer provides general illumination of the overall space. For ambient lighting, you can use chandeliers, flush or semi-flush installations, pendants, fan lights, and other sources. This general lighting, though necessary, is also a bit boring. Hence, the next two layers.

Accent – These fixtures emphasize the points you want to draw attention to, such as particular works of art. Typically, accent lights are brighter than the ambient light, and they can also serve to brighten hallways and other areas the ambient lights can’t reach. Common accent fixtures include sconces, LED tracks and ropes, and floor installations.

Task – Desk lamps, floor lamps, bathroom vanity fixtures, and other varieties provide the final layer. Task lights provide strong illumination in areas where you perform specific tasks, such as your kitchen counter or favorite reading chair. In combination with the other two layers, task lights help you create an inviting, atmospheric home interior.
