Lighting has an important role is any space. The use of lighting is one of the important facets in interior decorating. We know that we need light to be able to move around and see things in a room. A lamp on the ceiling will be enough for us to be able to do this. We may not be aware that interior decorators have little tricks that involve light, lighting fixtures and how they are used to enhance the look and mood of the room.

Accent lighting is one of their tricks. They use track lighting and wall sconces to highlight certain parts of the room. A wall sconce makes use of a bulb and a shield to direct the light to the desired focus. Wall sconces are usually used for aesthetic purposes. Other kinds of lighting are more functional. We use a lamp for reading, for example; and need a bright light to perform tasks in the kitchen.
