The Four Elements of a Good Lighting Plan

A multi-layered approach to your lighting scheme can create a beautiful aesthetic that helps your home stand out. There are four primary lighting styles: ambient, task, accent, and decorative. In Tampa, home lighting is easy when you leverage the knowledge and experience of the professionals at Lightstyle of Tampa Bay. Their experts can help you develop a cohesive design using these standard techniques:

Ambient Lighting

Ambient lighting adds overall illumination to a room. It is intended to create a uniform light level independent of any targeted lighting. Wall sconces, ceiling fixtures, and pot lights all offer ambient light.

Recessed Lighting

Recessed lights are installed into the ceiling or wall. They sit flush with the surface for a sleek and polished finish. The housing and wires are hidden, and the bulb screws up into the pot, making it virtually invisible.

Task Lighting

Whether kneading dough in the kitchen or working in your home office, you likely use task lighting to illuminate your workspace. Task lighting focuses on a specific area so you can see what you are doing more easily.

Decorative Lighting

Not all lights must have a practical purpose; sometimes, they can spotlight a painting or enhance the mood of a room. Decorative illumination is like the icing on the cake of elegant home lighting.
