Kitchen Lighting | Reflect your home’s design and style with your lights
Decorative fixtures set the tone of the kitchen and create the personality you want in the space. Whether you love traditional styles or hip metropolitan looks, this decorative aspect provides fill lighting in the room.
Chandeliers
Chandeliers have a wide variety of shapes, sizes and styles, and can range from simple to ornate. The wispy arms of a simple country style can tie a farm kitchen together, while a series of mini crystal chandeliers over an island can add the right accent ot a more formal kitchen.
Pendants
The use of pendants started in the kitchen, and the flair they offer a room has them being used in other parts of the home. Think of pendants as the sophisticated earrings that complement a gown. These lights are the focal point in most kitchens and vary in shape, size, and color to fit your personal taste.
Under-cabinet
Under-cabinet
lighting is as important as a good knife in a kitchen. Including under-cabinet
lighting ensures that you have a completely lit work surface. As an added
benefit, when you light the backsplash it adds to the appearance of the room.
Include a dimming feature and you now have a great nightlight. When added
under-cabinet lighting, the goal is to have bright and uniform illumination on
the countertop. The preferred way to light this space is with either linear
fixtures sized for under the cabinet or LED tape.
