A key element of the interior is lighting, and many options are available. As for portable lighting, desk lamps and standup lamps are easily moved to the desired spots. They provide either ambient lighting or spot lighting and can be directed at specific areas that require extra brightness for tasks.

Ambient lighting fixtures are permanently wired and include chandeliers and wall sconces. Spotlights are often arrayed in a row or cluster on the ceiling, with each light directed toward a part of the room that requires illumination.

Accent lighting, by contrast, concentrates light on a focal point. This creates a dramatic, theatrical effect and is suitable for art pieces and furniture. Accent lighting can even be used to highlight the architectural elements of the room.

Selecting the right combination of lights requires extended evaluation. In the daytime, windows and skylights also influence lighting in a room.
