Accent lighting

Accent lighting focuses light on a particular area or object. It is often used to highlight art or other artifacts. Common types of light fixtures used for accent lighting include wall sconces, floodlights, recessed lights, torchère lamps, or track lighting.

The brighter light from the accent lamp creates visual interest to a room.
