Lighting fixtures can transform an entire room. They add functionality in terms of illumination, mood-setting with the level of lighting provided, and decorative flair with the design of the fixture itself. If you’re a first-time homeowner seeking new lights for your space, discuss the following options with a lighting contractor to see which will work for you.

3 Lighting Fixtures to Enhance Your Interior

1. Recessed

Recessed lighting is installed above the ceiling so that it appears flush with the surface. It requires at least six inches of space above the ceiling and the expertise of a lighting contractor to install. These lights create a low-profile, ambient glow, making them well-suited for living rooms. Since they also provide task lighting, you may want to install them above preparation areas in the kitchen.

2. Track

Track lighting is mounted directly to the ceiling and features a row of individual lights, all with their own housings. Like recessed lighting, track lighting can be used for tasks and is often hung over kitchen islands, desks, and similar work stations. The directions of the lights can be adjusted, adding a greater degree of control to the illumination.

3. Architectural

Architectural lighting is built directly into the structure of a space. For instance, cove lighting is built into a recess or ledge and is designed to create a soft, upward-facing glow. Soffit lighting, on the other hand, illuminates downward and can be built into a soffit high on the wall. Valance lighting sends light both up and down and is housed in an encasement at a high point along the wall.
