Kitchen design mistake: Overlooking kitchen lighting
Kitchen lighting is vital in your home. After all, it has to work hard in one of the busiest rooms. First, there are the practicalities that mustn’t be ignored, or you might make a kitchen design mistake.
Good lighting that focuses on countertops so that you can prepare food safely is the key to this idea. Then we need to think about aesthetics. Perhaps a beautiful pendant light fitting or three over a dining table or kitchen island.
A lovely lamp on the counter or side table. You can also consider plinth lighting to show off your new cabinetry in a modern kitchen. Concealed lighting also works in glass-fronted cabinets to show off your best China dishes.
And it’s worth including dimmable lighting options to create a certain mood for food prep and another for eating.
And when it’s all said and done, remember to include separate lighting circuits in order for all the lighting in the different zones of your room to be managed separately from intelligent control or a well-placed switch.
