The three main types of lighting that designers are concerned with are ambient, task and accent.
1. Ambient light is the general illumination surrounding the environment or subject. Ambient lighting can brighten and enhance the glow of the rooms. Lanterns and wall sconces can render an ambient lighting effect. Using dimmer switches can also alter the ambiance of the room to achieve the look.

2. Accent lighting highlights the architectural features of a home like the walls and objects in the room. Halogen spotlights and table lamps create accent effect lighting. Accent lighting can be implemented to project and show off a piece of art or a photograph also.

3. Task lighting incorporated in interior design provides localized lighting in special task areas. This is generally used in work spaces to aid you in performing your daily tasks. Whereas aesthetic lighting is like a piece of decorative art and is used purely to embellish the decor of your rooms. Hanging lights over the dining tables can perfectly compliment the decor of your rooms. Recessed lighting is preferred by most home owners as it provides good illumination without affecting the interior décor of the room. Task lighting can be incorporated with accent lighting to create simply beautiful interiors.
