Kitchen Lighting, A Difference You Can See

Kitchen Lighting, A Difference You Can See

Your kitchen can be the busiest and most visited part of your home. Just about everything happens in the kitchen: kids doing homework, dinner is made, and life is lived. The lighting in your kitchen is vital. In many kitchens, there is no more than the light in the ceiling and above the stove, but there are many other options.

Ambient lighting – Lights along the tops of cabinets or along walls can add ambiance to the room. This type of lighting will be designed to be reflected off of the ceiling. It adds a cool white light to the room. You can even choose to use colored bulbs to add some style and class.

Task lighting – Bright lights can be added to the kitchen aimed at specific areas, especially island cutting boards and at a coffee maker. These lights can often be put on a separate switch that can be controlled from right near the task area. One of the biggest advantages to task lighting is safety; having bright lights on a cutting board can prevent injuries.

Accent lighting – Small spotlights aimed at cabinets, art on the walls, or even open-faced cabinets can add a dramatic flair to the kitchen. If you have old or beautiful kitchen appliance or china, spotlights can highlight those items and create a sort of museum quality to the room.

Under cabinet lights – There are lots of times when the overhead light in the kitchen doesn’t shine well under cabinets, especially if you are standing in front of the counter. Under cabinet lights can illuminate a small working space or simply provide soft light to see by. These lights can range from inexpensive do-it-yourself kits to gorgeous small halogens connected to a switch by a professional.

In-cabinet lighting – Looking into your cabinets can be a hassle, especially when you don’t have enough lights in the kitchen. Small lights in the cabinets can show you everything in there without needing to turn on bright lights. These lights can be set to turn on manually or can be made to turn on when the cabinet is opened.

Regardless of which options you choose, a professional kitchen installation company can make sure that the job is done right. From the design, to the lights, to the installation, LA Design & Construction can help ensure a safe and effective job that will meet your needs.
