Four fixture options when lighting the kitchen

July 24th, 2008 by admin
Create a lighting plan for your kitchen that will fill all of your lighting needs.

1. Ceiling Fixtures - Your kitchen ceiling lighting offers you the ability to achieve one light fits all. You want the brightest light available to you for cooking, seeing all of your ingredients, and accomplishing all of your activities for your kitchen.

2. Pendants - Offer a softer lighting atmosphere without the glare of an overhead light. Your kitchen will need direct lighting over your work spaces such as the island or over the sink. Sometimes soft lighting is just what is needed for making a nightime snack.

3. Kitchen Table Chandelier - Today’s kitchen dining chandeliers create a decorating opportunity for the kitchen. Todays lighting can have up lighting, down lighting and sometimes both.

4. Wall Sconces - Use a wall sconce to enhance the lighting in your kitchen offering either surround lighting or accent lighting. Sconces are great on either side of French doors or a picture window. You can also place one on a blank wall where the kitchen table is placed, creating an inviting comfortable dining atmosphere. If you enjoy your island as an informal dining space, then sconces can pull together the kitchen atmosphere as one inviting space.
