Modern Accent Lights

Accent lighting at one time was used solely to highlight certain areas of a room or even used to light art pottery or paintings, china cabinets or under kitchen cabinets to light a counter area.  Today, contemporary accent lighting can be incorporated in any number of ways. Small accent lamps can be found in a hallway or foyer, a child’s bedroom or even in closets.  Several small accent lights are better suited for rooms where an intrusive overhead light is too bright and of course, recessed lighting is still the first choice for many.

These smaller lamps are ideal for saving energy but can also define a room’s ambience. The more strategically placed accent lighting you have, the better you can control where the light is directed.  Mix and match lamp bases and shades for your own personal look.  Modern Furniture Warehouse makes it easy with more than one hundred contemporary accent lighting options to help you perfectly light any room in your home.  The Amber Flame Vase Lamp is a work of art with its soft curves and warm light.  Part of the Jezebel lighting collection, it makes a beautiful bedside lamp or hallway light.

Be sure to browse our vast collection of ceiling lights and floor lamps, too.  In fact, combining lighting sources is a great way to keep those energy costs down while not sacrificing the warmth and inviting feel.   The Malaaca Floor Lamp is one example of the sleek modern look of today’s lighting options.  Its cylindrical design allows for a really soft light that illuminates beautifully through the Ocean Mist paper.

There are hundreds of ways to beautifully accent your home with soft lighting choices.  Use your imagination and your finished result will be a warm, softly lit environment your family and friends will feel at home in.  Finally, take a tip from the pros: use low wattage bulbs in a small collection of lamps for dramatic results.
