How is this lighting effect achieved?

This is more appealing than the typical downlighting. What is the placement and/or type of lighting used here?

Angie- thanks for appreciating a lot of hard work! The Builder- (Myers Homes- http://www.houzz.com/pro/stixandbrix/myers-homes ) actually designed and fabricated a custom LED lighting system that essentially turned the cabinet and shelving into its own light fixture, while maintaining the adjustability of the shelving! We coordinated the rooms lighting sources using a Crestron control system so that we can create scenes and control the lighting intensities in the room.

Been there and done it. In the end we opted for something quite dramatic. I painted the teen's walls in panels of dark chocolate brown with white panels. She has a square room, and this effectively divided the two walls into three zones. (the outer wall are windows) and the other wall I filled with an IKEA sliding cupboard in chocolate brown and mirror to bring in the light and negate the dark chocolate. This machiavellan scheme allowed me to bring in all the elements that go with deep chocolate but that change according to the girl's whims (we began with a deep to vivid fuschia colour on the bed spread, shades and accents - achieved by a bit of creative spray painting, and sheets in the sales section of a store). Sure enough a year later, she was tired, so we changed the accents to vivid green. (Picture below is unfinished first stage - fuschia) Next on the list I have planned is a lovely sea blue. The point is that the usual white is boring but the dark chocolate provides panels of drama (and zones on which to hang posters/frames etc). Her bedhead was also made in cream with removable buttons that can be changed according to whim!

Thanks Brenda I like the blend of both styles also. Unfortunately the building is not giving us much to play with, it's a big old concrete carbunkle but the space is great! I hope I can get the balance right.

They are nice without shades. Floor or table lamps allow you to create a range of light effects for dark days and when sun sets.

Kitchen splashback - how many lines of tile
Q

The tile is very pretty. I don't know if it is just the colours showing up differently on screen but the light grey appears to be a different tone (more purple to me) than your tile. If you want a light grey I would take the tile to the store and try for a better match. The dark color ties in nicely to the tile and could be very dramatic and stunning if the room gets a lot of light.
