The sweeping lines and dramatic treatment of glass shades make the Raindrops Collection a perfect choice for today's transitional-style home.

Selecting lighting for your home is more than the placement of lighting fixtures in various rooms so you can see in the dark. The way in which you light your home can have a significant effect on the total look and feel of each room. By using different lighting techniques, you can create a very dramatic look, create a soft, cozy feeling in a room, highlight artwork, or provide ample lighting for a busy area such as the powder room. Kichler is a great choice for lighting because their product designs embody the idea of simple elegance, such as the Eileen 1 Light Wall Sconce. This sconce is a great example of a lighting choice that would work in both a powder room and in the hallway or foyer. The entire Eileen Collection is one of their most popular for that exact reason.

Kichler has provided some helpful information on the three main functional groups of lighting: task, accent, and general lighting. These functional groups do not define the many individual collections, as each Kichler collection encompasses many different kinds of lighting.

Types Of Lighting
Task Lighting is used to help illuminate areas where you spend a lot of time doing an activity. Task lighting could be used under the cabinet in the kitchen for cooking, in a den or study for reading, or above a pool table for entertainment. Kichler pendant fixtures and portable lamps can provide bright, non-glaring illumination for task lighting while adding beauty to your home. Kichler Tiffany lamps and fixtures are good examples that provide ample light for a task, but also serve as decorative accessories. Another great example of task lighting is island lighting in you kitchen, such as the Willowmore Island Light by Kichler. This island light is perfect for over counters and work areas in the kitchen. The Willowmore Collection has a gentle flowing design that is accessible for many home decor scenarios, and will add a lovely design touch while being practical at the same time.

Accent Lighting is used to emphasize a certain subject or characteristic in a room. Perhaps you have a fireplace mantel, artwork, or a family photograph that you'd like to highlight. Kichler Pendants and wall sconces can be used to create these dramatic effects of key visual points in a room. One of our favorite collections by Kichler is the Hendrik Collection, which has a clean transitional appeal with a contemporary influence. The Hendrik 1 Light Mini-Pendant by Kichler is a great accent lighting piece, and could be used to highlight a favorite art piece, or used in a grouping for an even more dramatic effect, either in the living room or kitchen. This pendant includes several downrods so the length can be shortened or extended as needed, to provide focused light or a wider spread to illuminate a corner or kitchen nook. One of the nicest aspect of accent lighting is that it does not have to coordinate perfectly with the entire decor of the room, only the area it is accenting. So go ahead and get creative!

General Lighting sets the mood of a room and provides basic illumination over a broad area, while adding a decorative touch. This aspect of lighting is important to your overall lighting plan and will be used in combination with both Task and Accent lighting. Kichler chandeliers, flush mounts, or other ceiling fixtures can provide general lighting and become the focal point of your room. Of course, sometimes you want lighting to blend into the surroundings instead of being a focal point. In that case, you should select some lighting piece that has easy lines and a very broad appeal, such as the Kichler Columbiana 6-Light Chandelier. This is a good example of a general lighting fixture that has both straight and flowing lines, making it a very accommodating piece. In fact, the entire Kichler Columbiana Collection is defined by these beautiful lines, which explains its popularity. One particular strength of Kichler is that their collections are both broad and deep, meaning you get many choices of types of lighting within a collection, but also a variety of choices within each type, such as single, double, and triple sconces.
