Layered lighting: the three layers every room needs

Ambient, task and accent lighting explained, with simple ways to make any room feel better after dark.

Ambient light sets the mood

Ceiling fixtures and wall washers provide the base layer. Put them on dimmers so the room can shift from bright mornings to soft evenings.

Task light makes rooms usable

Reading lamps, under-cabinet strips and vanity lights put light exactly where your hands and eyes need it.

Accent light adds depth

Picture lights, uplights behind plants and lit shelving create the pools of light that make a space feel considered.
