Your kitchen is one of the most important areas in your home. This is exactly why you should design it to provide maximum comfort and efficiency. If you are not satisfied with your current kitchen, consider redesigning it to your liking.
When looking for the right kitchen lighting, you must first decide what kind of atmosphere you want your kitchen to have. Kitchen lamps come in an endless variety; therefore, it is important to know what you are looking for first.
If you start searching with no idea what you’re looking for, you’re likely to get lost and confused. Here are some ideas on what types of kitchen lighting to look for when you start looking.
GENERAL
One of the most popular kitchen lighting fixtures is ceiling lights. Not long ago, this was the only type that light kitchens had. The great thing about ceiling lights is that they are often the most affordable kitchen lighting available.
MISSION
In addition to that, you should also consider task lighting. You really shouldn’t cut your fingers on the counter with a knife because you’re casting a shadow under your beautiful new chandelier. Task kitchen lighting must be targeted and bright.
HIGH
Finally, consider accent lighting for your kitchen. These are the lights that provide all the soft, non-directional light and often set the “mood” in your kitchen.
