accent lighting

Decorative focused beams

Accent lighting is illumination designed to highlight specific features or objects—artwork, architectural details, plants, or display items.

Unlike general lighting that fills a room, accent lighting creates focal points and visual interest through directed beams: Track lights provided accent lighting for the gallery wall.

The technique adds depth and drama to interior spaces.
