"Most of this can be done with LED linear
tape lighting, or maybe some small accent
potlights — there are lots of possibilities,
depending on the architecture of the space
and how hidden the source needs to be."
Accent lighting might also be achieved with
track lighting, a directional recessed fixture,
a downlight such as a picture light, wall-
mounted fixtures or puck lights inside glass
cabinets, for example.
Understanding the main types of lighting is a
great start, but putting them all together in a
way that's both attractive and functional can
be tricky, and even stressful, for homeowners.
Because lighting specialists are trained to
understand all the elements — and often
have a design background — their help can
be invaluable.
"You can have both function and fashion, but
it has to be the right fit and the right amount
of light," Sector says. "Even though there's a
lot of online presence in the lighting industry,
the brick-and-mortar showrooms are still very
important for clients to be able to come in,
see the fixtures, touch and feel them, and
visualize how they will look in their homes."
