ent lighting also lights the kitchen
enough for it to be inviting without
it being all lit up like a cafeteria.
Accent lighting is becoming more
popular in kitchens as people
entertain more often at home. It
is used the same way it is in other
rooms to illuminate artwork or
shed a soft light on glassware arranged
behind glass doors. Halogen
pin-spots are a popular form
of accent lighting as are uplights
and recessed eyeball lights.
Decorative lighting includes wall
sconces and other lights that are
intended to complement your
decor rather than serve any purely
useful function. They are less
common in kitchens, but becoming
more popular as kitchens
evolve into more multi-purpose
rooms.
When planning what type of lighting
your kitchen requires, make
careful notes about how each
area of the kitchen is used. An office
area will need much brighter
and more specifically-aimed
lighting than a small conversation
area would and the prep counters
and stoves need brighter lighting
than a breakfast nook does.
Also consider installing dimmer
switches so that you can control
which type of lighting is most visible
at any given time.

that lighting is only one part of
your overall kitchen design. Since
