Everyone knows that lighting is very important in any space, regardless of the type, function and design. But lighting is more complicated than just choosing a chandelier and a lamp. You have to also think of the type of lighting you want to use in a particular room or space. Here are some of the types of lightnings suitable for residential Ethiopian homes.

Ambient Lighting

This is one of the most common types of lighting. Ambient light is a soft glow that blankets your space just enough for you to function without causing a harsh glare.

Ambient light is meant to get you safely from point A-to-B, it is not ideal for working closely with things or to highlight things around your space.

Common Forms Of Ambient Lighting Include

Wall sconces

These light fixtures are commonly seen in hallways, living rooms, and even in lowly lit dining areas. Wall sconces come in an assortment of shapes, styles, and sizes, which make them a versatile light fixture for your home’s interior.

Pendant lighting

A light fixture generally found in kitchens and dining areas, pendant lighting is designed to hang from your ceiling and looks great while spanning dining tables and kitchen countertops. Chandeliers are also an example of ambient lighting that can be hung to add a greater level of sophistication to your home.

Recessed lighting

True to its name, a recessed light fixture is housed within your home’s ceiling so that the fixture is flush with the ceiling itself. Recessed lighting provides an excellent source of light in kitchens, dining and living areas, as well as bedrooms, and can provide an extra touch of elegance that your home has been missing.

Accent Lighting

While ambient lighting may be exceptional for gently illuminating large areas within your home, it does not provide enough light to draw attention to areas of your home that you may want to highlight. Accent lighting, however, is capable of bringing your home’s most unique features to life. A unique form of lighting, accent lighting can be used as a means for lighting both interior and exterior areas of your home, and is designed to catch the attention of your guests.

Some Common Forms Of Accent Lighting Include

Spotlighting

If you are looking for the best way to bring a piece of art to the forefront of your home, spot lighting is equipped to handle the job with ease. Spot lighting is a popular method for lighting artwork, photos, and other points of interest in your home, as it has the ability to surround an area with dramatic shadowing while completely illuminating the focal point in question.

Landscape lighting

Accent lights are most commonly used during exterior lighting projects when trying to improve your home’s landscape. If your home’s exterior is surrounded by lush foliage, beautiful trees, or a breathtaking water feature, you can easily improve your landscape by showcasing these items with accent lighting.

Wall lighting

Using wall lights as a means to draw attention to unique architecture around your home can create a warm and welcoming environment. It is important to note that you should be strategic when choosing where to place your wall lighting, such as alongside fireplaces and bookcases, so that you can easily achieve the intended look and feel that you desire.

Task Lighting

This is a smaller more concentrated light. You want task lighting around when you’re working. In fact, some people call it office lighting. Task lighting is meant to help you see when you’re doing projects in which you need a finer light, such as, reading, cooking, writing, sewing and many other things. Task lighting only works well when it is used as a contrasting light.

Common Forms Of Task Lighting Include

Lamps

If you read frequently before bed, you have experienced task lighting firsthand. Bedside lamps are an excellent example of how task lighting can help make common tasks much easier.

Vanity

Like many individuals, you may spend most of your mornings in your bathroom getting prepared for work or the big day ahead. Vanity lighting is commonly seen next to bathroom mirrors, as applying makeup or shaving requires that a great deal of light illuminates your face without causing any shadowing.
