Decorative lighting is lighting that is primarily used for aesthetic purposes and secondary for functional purposes. You will therefore find that most decorative lighting has very decorative parts built into the fixture while providing a lot of light for use. It thus acts as a jewel in the room where it is applied. It is common to find decorative lighting in homes where lighting is taken seriously, namely to put the lighting in work lighting, ambient lighting and accent lighting. The different types of decorative lighting you will surely discover in these homes include the following:
Chandeliers
Although these are very common in some homes, chandeliers are mainly used for decorative lighting. People are most used to the chandelier, but there are many other types of chandeliers that are very versatile. Most of these will have backlighting as well as backlighting that are attached to many arms and thus form the chandelier. The chandeliers fit well in rustic as well as traditional home decor themes and are suitable for use mostly in the dining room and bedroom.
Pendants
In the same way as chandeliers in that they hang from the ceiling, the only difference is that the pendants do not hang in the arms and are not as decorative as the chandeliers. Each light bulb in a pendant is independent of other light bulbs, each of which hangs from its own cord. There are some variations of the pendants, such as the drum screen pendant and the Tiffany pendants. These are best used in modern and contemporary home decor themes and are suitable for dining rooms, living rooms and entrances.
Ceiling fans with lamps
This type of decorative lighting consists of a ceiling fan that has light bulbs attached to the fan blades. This type of lighting thus serves both functional and decorative purposes. The knives are available in different types of finishing, while the light bulbs can be mounted in different styles that are suitable for use with the knives. This type of decorative lighting is suitable for all types of home decor theme.
Wall lights
These can serve two purposes; to provide either accent lighting or ambient lighting. There are many different types of wall lamps that are made to serve either of the two purposes mentioned. In addition to the two lighting requirements, wall lamps can still be used for work lighting, especially in bathrooms.
