Light Your Kitchen Island
Undoubtedly, you use your kitchen island extensively, especially if the sink, dishwasher, or other much-used kitchen item is located there. During the holiday season, your kitchen island will probably be used even more, as it tends to be a favorite gathering space amongst guests. Be sure you have enough and the right type of lighting for your kitchen island that can both offer task lighting and create mood. Let our lighting designers help. Schedule a free consultation today.
Install Undercabinet Lighting
Undercabinet lighting has almost become essential to modern kitchens. This is because this type of lighting, placed in the right spots, eliminates all shadows from your kitchen countertops, providing the perfect task lighting you need for all of your food prep needs. Plus, by installing undercabinet lighting, you'll be increasing the value of your home and adding in beauty that few other types of kitchen lighting can mimic. Undercabinet lighting doubles as great night and ambient lighting and can instantly provide warmth to your kitchen.
Consider Recessed Lighting
Depending on the size of your kitchen, too many lighting fixtures can give the space a crowded look and feel. Thus, recessed lighting is a great addition to your kitchen, especially if your kitchen is a smaller space. This type of lighting takes up no space since it's installed in your ceilings, but the amount of light given off will instantly brighten your kitchen and add much-needed task lighting. Recessed lighting is easy to install and can ensure you have the lighting you need this holiday season. Ask a lighting designer for advice today.
Use Wall Lights For Decorative Lighting
We've been focusing on task lighting a lot, but decorative lighting is just as important. While decorative lighting gives off lighting that can be used for tasks, its main goal is to add to the look and feel of your space. Since many people have favorite portraits or paintings hung on their walls, decorative lighting is a great way to draw attention to it and create a focal point. One of our favorite types of decorative lighting is wall sconces. This type of lighting comes in all different styles, finishes, and sizes that can both personalize your kitchen space and add ambient lighting. Choose from single, double, or more wall sconces to suit your needs. Shop with us today.
Add Festive String Lighting for the Season
Everyone loves string lighting, so if you are looking for an easy, affordable way to light up your kitchen for the holiday season and brighten your guests' mood, consider adding some string lighting. Since string is easy to hang, you can place string lighting on your kitchen shelves, around your kitchen island, or hang from your kitchen island lighting to add in festive cheer. Plus, string lighting makes a great night light, so leave them on after the meal is over for great ambient lighting, too.
