How do I ensure that my kitchen has appropriate lighting?
Your kitchen is the busiest area in the house! Here’s some trending lighting options:
Add pendant or hanging light fittings for busy areas, like the hob or chopping area. Use higher watt bulbs for these areas!
Pendants are available in all shapes and sizes. Go for vintage style pendants, the utilitarian industrial shape or the modern minimalist style pendants that go easy on ornamentation but maximise lighting!
Add LED lights below kitchen cabinets to illuminate the countertop and space below to help you focus on your task while adding a warm glow to the kitchen.
Trending now is the adhesive LED strip that can be stuck onto the underside of your cabinets, requiring no drilling or wires at all! You could go for LED puck lights if you need brighter lights for the work area under your cabinets.
Choose fluorescent bulbs or CFL lights for ambient lighting, to give the kitchen a brighter look. These are energy efficient and long lasting too!
