I When illuminating your home's interior, you can choose among ambient, accent and task lighting. Ambient light provides general lighting.
Accent light throws light on a specific point or object.
Task lighting illuminates an area used for specific tasks such as cooking or drawing. When choosing lighting for a foyer, keep in mind the length and width of the room. In general, the size of the fixture should be directly related to the size of the room. Measure the length and width of the room, and add the numbers together, rounding to the nearest foot. For example, if your room measures 14' long and 10' wide, you'll add 14 to 10, with a result of 24'.
