Ambient Light is the first layer of lighting and the source that diffuses the Light evenly throughout the room.

Task lighting -It’s the third layer of Light and is a more concentrated source (direct). It allows us to do our daily tasks quickly, such as meal preparation or self-grooming.
Pendant Lights are an excellent option for this type of lighting. Swing Arm Lamps and Wall Sconces can also be used.
Kitchen, Bathroom and dressing room tables are suitable places to use it.

Tips to consider when buying or using decorative lighting in any room
When choosing decorative lighting for a room, consider the following principles: energy conservation, functionality, and coordination. This will help you make the most of your space. Use LED lights to save energy and produce less heat. You can use colourful lights for kids’ rooms, while for bedrooms you could choose soft lighting. Keep the style of lighting in line with the color scheme and theme.
You can measure the dimensions of your room to achieve a uniform glow at all corners. You can measure the length of a wall, the height from the ceiling to the floor, and the height between the ceiling and the table/bed/sofa. The dimensions of your room will have a major impact on the way Light is spread (large lights -> less shadows, small lights -> more contrast).
Avoid any instances of wires melting or warming up by using the correct bulbs for your decorative lighting fixtures (colour, wattage and material). Better to be safe rather than sorry. Check the color of the Light that is being emitted, as it can vary.
The decorative light fixture should be sized to fit the room and any decor elements.
When choosing decorative lighting fixtures, consider your preferences and lifestyle when selecting the right ones for your home. You can then plan how much Light is needed for each room based on the activities that will be performed.
Keep your budget in check by evaluating the safety factors and the installation costs.
