The 4 Principles of Lighting Types:

Task Lighting is bright light that illuminates a specific area with visual activity, such as food preparation, or where reading takes place.
Accent Lighting is light directed to focus attention on artwork, architectural features, to help set a mood or provide drama in decorating your space.
Ambient Lighting fills in the background with a soft general light. Examples of ambient light are sconces and wall washes.
Decorative Lighting draws attention to itself and can sometimes be the centerpiece or focal point of a room. A dining room chandelier is a perfect example.

The Importance of Lighting Design

Nothing has a greater impact on a space than lighting. Lighting influences the appearance, tone, and impression of every single object or space. It can make or break the overall ambiance of an interior. The best-designed environments are layered with more than one lighting type. Used properly you can bring drama, focus, and mood to any room.

Principles of Lighting Design

The first step to lighting design is to identify the room’s main focal points. This is where the brightest layer of light should be directed. The next step is the middle layer of light that provides interest in specific areas like paintings or architectural features. The third layer fills in the background and creates warmth. Once these three essential layers are in place, decorative lighting pieces may be added.
