Tips to Select Kitchen Lighting
February 14th, 2008 by DirectproA lighting plan is essential when adding new lights to the kitchen. It’s best to create a kitchen lighting plan that uses cabinets as the foundation for improvements. Factoring cabinets into the plan makes it easier to determine needs for each area.
Separate the kitchen layout into four areas: task surfaces such as counter tops, sinks and stoves; general,; display; and decorative. Breaking the kitchen down into different areas makes it easy to determine needs when deciding how to decorate with lights.
Look at each area individually. Work surface areas are the most important, and proper care must be taken to ensure the area is illuminated well when performing tasks such as preparing food. This area will need the most light of any part of the kitchen. General lighting requires enough illumination to move around, while display and decorative lights add creativity.
