Task Lights

Task lighting plays a crucial role in any lighting design. It helps to focus bright and white light sources onto specific areas where tasks can be completed. Reading, kitchen countertops, beds and desks are just a few examples of areas that benefit from task lighting solutions. Kitchen lighting is a great place to assemble a cast of task lighting characters. Flush ceiling lights are a great way to hide bright and obnoxious light bulbs.
Ambient Lighting

A good way to keep lights bright and glowing is through the use of ambient lights. A good example of an ambient light source is a florescent bulb and ballast. From flush mountable to clear covering coves, florescent lights create a soft glow that lights a whole room or area with just a single bulb. Cost effective and colorful, florescent lights are best mixed together in multiple color spectrums so as to best copy the look and feel of natural light.
Accent Lighting

Lights in any design not only help to light your work areas but also to light your design and décor areas. Accent lights help to bring out design and décor features like pictures and paintings while brightening the room. Accent lights like track lighting and other ceiling lights help to create a task light source that accents specific décor and design features that go otherwise unnoticed with other lighting fixtures.
Aesthetic Lighting
(via)
Lights that not only work well, but look good are crucial to any room redesign. Aesthetic lighting options help accentuate any design theme by adding a touch of elegance and class to the everyday mundane functioning light source. Good aesthetic lighting like wall sconces and table lamps help provide a detailed look in your design.
Natural Lighting

Light form the sun is one of the most important lighting sources in our lives. Sunlight provides plants with the energy they need to grow and our bodies with vitamins. Sunlight in design helps to accentuate décor and design themes in a unique and open way other light options fall short of doing. Natural light works best for kitchen lighting and bathroom lighting as it denotes cleanliness and sterility. Natural lighting can come from windows, doors, skylights and solar tubes.
