SEEKING ENLIGHTENMENT — Cont’d from page 121
“Task lighting brings the light in the space to a higher level, for when you need it,” says Demaré. “A perfect example of task lighting would be under-cabinet lighting in your kitchen, a reading light in your living room, or pendant lights over an island.” Some types of ambient lighting can do double-duty as task lighting, adds Sector. “Instead of having a recessed fixture like an open potlight, you can get a gimbal potlight, which is directional so you can pivot it to highlight the area you want,” she says. Accent lighting also plays an important role. Use it to provide atmosphere and accentuate areas where you want to create visual interest. “You could highlight an architectural feature like a stone wall and draw out the texture, or show off some artwork or a collection of some kind,” says Demaré.
