| Kitchen lighting is a very effective way to help create the décor you wish. Fluorescent fixtures are energy efficient and provide even brightness but not very much in decorative enhancement. Incandescent down lights are more dramatic and will give a brilliant white light or can be dimmed for effect. You will probably need several fixtures to avoid bothersome shadows in your kitchen. Track lighting is one answer to this problem as you can direct the light from each fixture on the track. Under cabinet lighting is also a great way to get light where you need it. There are many variations of all these types of fixtures. Kitchen lighting includes lights in panties and in lower cupboards. LED lights are great for in cabinet lighting because they do not generate notable heat and they do not occupy much space. Another benefit of LED lights is they use very little power. Fluorescent tube lights are also well suited for this because of their large surface area and high lumens per watt, but they are not dimmable. The way to plan your lighting is to light the work areas first then look at background lighting. With each area’s lights on their own control, you can dim or brighten each as you desire. Keep the general theme of your kitchen design in mind when choosing the light fixture. Kitchen décor is the collective result of all your decisions, so keep the whole picture in mind. Consider accent lighting. It is what gives your space a third dimension and adds to the quality of the space. Use accent lighting sparingly on those special home objects so people will notice and admire them. Maybe your copper wares or fancy spice rack. Plan this into your kitchen design from the beginning or add it if there seems to be a dull spot. You can try to keep the kitchen design open so that it is not shadowed everywhere. Good kitchen lighting helps make the room feel larger and cheerful. |
