Accent lights

Accent lights are specific and attention-grabbing. They are used to set mood, draw focus, or add sparkle. larger accent lights like wall washers impart a soft, colorful glow; spotlights can draw attention to favorite artwork or emphasize a focal wall; candles create a sense of movement and cast dramatic shadows. Often, it can be a beautiful decorative accessory on its own. Use accent lighting to spotlight a photo, collection, or display. Place accent lights in bookcase shelves or on a long mantel for subtle illumination.

Select your style:

• Picture lights perch over artwork to illuminate it. They are usually low wattage to minimize glare off reflective surfaces.
• Track lights can be aimed to highlight architectural details and favorite objects.
• Mini-chandeliers hang from the ceiling and add sparkle.
• Candles fill a room with warmth and animation; they can add color and scent as well.
• Nightlights are very low wattage and offer illumination by which to navigate or sleep.
• Beaded-shade lamps change the quality of light, tinting it with jewel tones.
