There are three basic types of lighting that can be combined to provide the best illumination for any given area; GENERAL, ACCENT and TASK lighting. A good lighting plan utilizes these lighting types along with decorating styles for the best affect. You can choose a complete family of lights (all in one style) or choose light fixtures with a common denominator such as same finish or the same decorative elements. In any theme you choose, the comfort and aesthetics will add interest to your home environment. Keep in mind the light style also must be functional, especially in the kitchen where your meals are prepared and in some cases enjoyed in as well.
