However, they look the best when they’re used with more subtlety. In fact, under cabinet lighting in kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms can be carried out with rope lights with the best effects. They also look great as toe-kicks in kitchen islands and legless platform beds.

2. Statement light fixtures

They’re available in a hug variety of designs and look especially stunning when hung over dining tables, in the center of living rooms, and even bedrooms without ceiling fans.

3. Down lighters

They’re the hardest to use because you actually have to create an entire ambient set-up for them to work. They look best when installed over statement artwork or decoration pieces. They can also be installed in decorative niches or in-built niche-headboards just like the one featured in this image.

4. Ambient LED

If you want to go for a bright, cool atmosphere, go with white lights. If you want something moody and comfortable, go with warm lighting. All of this can be accomplished by choosing the right LED installed within the ceiling.

5. Ceiling light
