Kitchen Lighting
The kitchen is the heart of the home for many people. From bold statement fixtures over the dining table to functional pieces to light your kitchen island, we’ve outlined what to consider when it comes to your space. Read on for details to consider for picking the perfect kitchen lighting.
Use general lighting, such as recessed strip lights that supply work light for meal prep and cooking. Ensure proper placement so you achieve overall illumination with no dark spots.
Add undercabinet lighting to direct light on counter areas for detailed work, or when the general room lighting is not needed during the day. Put undercabinet lights on a dimmer and use them as a night light, they add a soft glow of light to the kitchen perimeter when dimmed for an intimate dinner setting or cocktail party.
Likewise, install strip lighting on the top of kitchen cabinets (if they don’t touch the ceiling) for up-lighting or underneath the edge of the base cabinet for toe kick lighting. Give your kitchen a whole new look for entertaining or dining by putting both applications on a dimmer.
