1. INTERIOR DESIGN TYPES OF LIGHTING

2. LIGHTING Lighting or illumination is the deliberate use of light to achieve practical or aesthetic effects. Lighting includes both artificial and natural lighting. Indoor lighting is usually accomplished using light fixtures, and is a key part of interior design. TYPES OF LIGHTING There are 3 types of lighting according to function . They are Ambient lighting Accent lighting Task lighting

3. 1. AMBIENT LIGHTING :- It is a type of lighting that sets the atmosphere for a space, providing a soft illumination of the whole area. It is meant to create a general and uniform lighting level. It is the first layer of lighting and sets the tone of a space. It is typically soft and diffuse, and often dimmable to accommodate day and night time settings. It is especially important in hallways and stairs for optimal orientation and visibility. It is also useful in kitchen and office spaces, where fixtures with wide light beams provide a consistent level of lighting. OFFICE SPACE KITCHEN STAIRWAYS HALLWAY

4. There are several types of ambient lighting:- Ceiling-mounted or recessed fixture that direct light downwards. Wall sconces and floor lamps which wash the walls and/or ceiling with light. Cove lighting, floor lamps and pendants that bounce light of ceiling and walls. Although it provides general illumination, ambient light is not ideal for task work or to showcase specific elements in a space. CEILING MOUNTED WALL SCONCES FLOOR LAMPS COVE LIGHTING PENDANTS

5. 2. ACCENT LIGHTING:- It is intended to highlight a specific object or area, accent lights are typically three times as bright as ambient lights. Accent light draws attention to a feature, such as art work, furnishings or architectural details, converting them into focal points. Adjustable fittings are preferred for this type of lighting, as they allow precision focusing on small areas or objects. Accent lighting differs from other type of lighting. Its primary objective is aesthetic, creating a point of interest for the viewer.

7. 3. TASK LIGHTING :- This direct, intense illumination is ideal for detailed task work, grooming, and preparing food. It is focused on the particular area where the task is performed and is brighter than ambient lighting. Effective task lighting is glare free and strong enough to prevent eye strain. Examples of task lighting include:- Recessed and track lighting Pendants Under-cabinet lighting Floor, desk and table lamps Bathroom vanity lights RECESSED TRACK LIGHTING PENDANTS UNDER CABINET LIGHTING OVERSIZED TABLE LAMP BATHROOM VANITY LAMPS

8. Task lighting is key in the kitchen, where under cabinet lighting or pendants increase visibility on counter tops and food preparation areas. Table and floor lamps provide useful task lighting in living areas and bedrooms, and can reinforce the rooms desired design style. Sconces, vanity bars and pendants can be deployed in bathrooms to improve visibility, especially close to mirrors. SCONCES TASK LIGHTING IN KITCHEN VANITY BARS PENDANTS
