Lighting
Tips: Kitchen
The kitchen is one of the rooms in the house where task
lighting comes into it's own right. Task lighting can effectively reduce
shadows, and with more light on the subject, working in the kitchen
becomes less of a chore. Try installing undercabinet lights near working
surfaces.
Recessed halogen lighting works very well for the sink
area.
But the kitchen is more than a working area. Most families
spend a lot of time around the kitchen table - and with the correct
lighting, any kitchen can be a cozy get-together spot. Consider using
hidden lights to create a soft, warm atmosphere. Install lights behind
cabinets or plants.
Then decorate! Use a colorful hanging Tiffany lamp over
the kitchen table. Round it off with matching wall lamps. Or use mini-pendant
lamps decoratively.
