Kitchen Lighting
In many homes the kitchen is the center of the house; it is
used for not only preparing food but also for entertaining or even enjoying the
paper and a cup of coffee in the morning. For spaces like this that are used
for many different tasks it can be hard to find lighting that is not only
fashionable but functional. Great kitchen lights should add to the décor of the
space while also providing ample overall, task and accent lighting. Utilizing several
different fixtures and layering the lighting in your kitchen is one way to get
the perfect combination of light.
Lighting Layers:
Combining several different lighting fixtures in one space
can really make a difference in the look and feel of a room. In spaces where a
wide variety of activities take place layering overall, task and accent lighting
is the perfect solution.
First Layer: Overall Lighting
The kitchen is a place where many people entertain their
guests and host dinner parties; because of this it is important for the space
to be bright and inviting. Overall lighting is an important part of every room
because it makes a room seem less
gloomy and more welcoming. Every space in
your home should have this type of lighting especially places where you entertain!
Ceiling fixtures and recessed lights provide ample overall
lighting in any room.
Second Layer: Task Lighting
The main use of the kitchen will always be preparing and
serving food. Cooking is an activity that requires bright direct light. Task
lighting is important for rooms such as the kitchen, office or workshop where
you need a lot of light to accomplish certain projects.
Under cabinet lighting and puck-disc lights
are all excellent forms of task lighting that will make your kitchen not only
functional but fabulous!
Third Layer: Accent Lighting
Just like every other room in your home you want your
kitchen to not only be functional but also stylish. Accent lighting helps
create ambiance and set the mood in a space. Every room in a house can benefit
from accent lighting.
In the kitchen island lighting, pendants and pot rack lights
all provide accent lighting as well as a touch of elegant flare that will make
your kitchen pop!
