Those areas of a home where specific tasks are accomplished, like the laundry room or computer work stations, need to be brightly lit. But if you an area is in need of soft moods or a touch of drama, then you might consider solutions from Minka Lavery Lighting collection.

If you are looking for mood, plan on adding wall dimmers to your light fixtures, not only on the wall fixtures, but also to your ceiling mounted lights, including all chandeliers. This standard approach provides many options in accentuating the room or producing a softer, more gentle lighting environment.

For your finest art work, think about highlighting with wall mounted musuem or picture lights. The use of a scounce on each side of the painting also works well. You can also use the sconces beside mirror frames or any other wall hanging.

In your living areas use downlights to add emphasis to a particular spot. The addition of one or two down lights over a sofa, especially if they are equipped with dimmers, will accentuate the focus to the area, but also provide what is known as spillover light to the adjacent walls.

To provide just the right touch to the bath, Minka Lavery offers a great collection of traditional and contemporary fixtures ranging from two up to twelve lights. Also available are a variety of vanity lights to match any decor.
