Ambient, task, accent, and decorative are categories of lighting that we should think about when lighting and choosing lighting for a room. Natural light is best but when natural light sources are limited there should be plenty of light sources.

Layering is important because natural light changes throughout the day. Sit in all the rooms of your home throughout the day and you will notice where lighting needs to be supplemented. The right kind of lighting in the right space will add a glow and a warmth to your surroundings.


This flush ceiling light paired with the lamp for task lighting makes this office efficient. The natural light makes it even more liveable and inviting.

Pendant lighting is a great way to light your dining table…

Good morning my dear! It is as if you said, "This post is for Anita." Every shade of gray/white with the crystals and the texture, with a splash of color, is JUST FOR ME. How lovely it is to go to a blog and feel as if the author designed the post just for you.
ReplyDeleteHugs and have a lovely day. Anita
every single light in my house is on a dimmer - that was #1 on my reno list of MUST haves! ... working on the PERFECT outdoor lights now
ReplyDeleteI could definitely use some more lighting in my house! The natural light is horrible. :(
ReplyDeleteI have two rooms in my home that are crying out for more lighting so great post to get me working on it. I'm so sorry your little men have been so sick and hope they feel better quickly. Sending hugs your way!

Could use dimmer in at least three rooms. Thanks for this motivating post! Hope your boys feel better soon!!
ReplyDeleteHi Stacey,
ReplyDeleteYour post has prompted me think again about the lighting (or lack of!) in a couple of our rooms.
Great inspiration.
Sorry to hear about your boys feeling poorly. Hope they get better soon.
Much love,
