The
right lighting design can go a long way towards opening up a small space, not
to mention making it a much more attractive and efficient place to cook, clean
and converse.
To create a kitchen lighting that is both attractive and
effective, you will want to focus on three types of lighting: ambient lighting,
accent lighting and task lighting.
The
first is ambient lighting which will illuminate the entire kitchen space and
scare away any of the shadows that can often plague any small, enclosed space;
which are particularly discouraging for anyone trying to prepare a meal.
Ambient
lighting focuses on the main lighting for your space and it usually starts with
ceiling lighting. Ceiling lights that run the entire length of the spaces are
usually a good investment; a single light source may not necessarily reach the
various nooks and crannies of your space.
Track
lighting may be a good solution here, particularly for contemporary or modern
designs which covers the kitchen’s work area and makes cooking, cleaning and
food preparation easier and safer.
Accent
lighting on the other hand is adds tremendous ambience to the kitchen, and it
can further brighten and visually expand your space. Accent lightings are
fixtures on top of wall cabinets that serve to illuminate the ceiling, heightening
your space or at the base of your cabinets, adding depth and giving the entire
atmosphere a comfortable feel.
