In the lexicon of interior design there are three types of lighting: Ambient, task and accent.
Ambient ~ Ambient light means the light that is already present in a scene, before any additional lighting is added. 
It usually refers to natural light, either outdoors or coming through windows etc. It can also mean artificial lights such as normal room lights.
Task ~ Fixed task lighting refers to a non-movable light source dedicated to lighting a specific task. 
In kitchens, strip LED lights may be incorporated under cabinets to provide clear lighting onto the counters for cutting and preparing food. In bathrooms we would be talking about lighted medicine cabinets and such.
Accessory ~ Accent lighting focuses light on a particular area or object. 
It is often used to highlight art or other artifacts. Common types of accent lights include wall sconces, floodlights, recessed lights, torchère lamps, table lamps or track lighting. The brighter light from the accent lamp creates visual interest to a room.
And Cow Goes Moooi
Well, no cow, but who wouldn’t want a life-sized horse to lighten up their home? 
The Horse lamp is one of a three piece collection of animal furniture designed by Front which also includes a Rabbit Lamp and a Pig table.
Giddy up! With a lampshade on his head, the Moooi Horse Lamp (designed by Front) is a real party animal. Faithful to the dimensions and details of a full-sized horse, the Moooi Horse elicits no lukewarm response; 
you either fall in love at first sight or hate it forever. (We’re betting lon the former.)
Front started in 2003 by a design group of four. All members are involved in the design process from initial discussions and ideas to final product. Their works are based on common discussions, exploring and investigations about different topics. And the final products often communicate a story to the observer about the design process, conventions within the product field or the material it is made of.

Well, as the little ditty goes, “Old Macdonald had a,” er, um, really nicely lit living room!
Whether fashion, fashion accessories, home accessories or furniture her aesthetic shines through; you always know when you are in Spades!
The shampoo shelf, the glove compartment of the shower is resting place for our various clean up materials. The ubiquitous island upon which truly after the invention of the modern bathroom is the place where civilization begins. The dirty truth about it is that as important as the place upon which the soap and shampoo rest, the shampoo shelf is not a design feature.
Take note, I said ‘powder room.’ Generally the smallest room in the house. But wait, I also said bold and large-scale. How could this be? This is where “a picture is worth a thousand words.”
The sofa will provide the place where much of the time will be spent whether watching TV, reading a book, entertaining friends. Regardless the function, careful consideration should be given to style.
Sometimes the transition from the back to the arm is not attractive and may have been originally designed to be placed against a wall ~ like the one pictured to the right. No carefully selected sofa table will ever camouflage that!
This alone makes the Tuxedo style perfect for floating placement. The back of the Tuxedo sofa is usually quite architectural and thereby attractive
Outside of 
The selection of two matching trays paired side by side would be a wise decision should you ever choose to use the tray for the purpose it was intended, to serve things.
What goes in NEVER leaves. This creates quite the conundrum. I have a serious case of “I might need that someday”. Should I submit to the purge? If I do I feel like I will never be able to find that ever again. Truth be told, of the countless “thats” I have picked up, pondered and set aside yet one more time, I have rarely had need for that again.
