Kitchen lighting Tips

Kitchen Lighting.

The kitchen is often the heart of a home. It’s where we gather, chat, eat, and enjoy each other’s company. In fact, a study conducted at the University of California found that American families spend 68% of their time either in the kitchen or in front of a television. And if you’ve ever hosted an event in your home, you know that people tend to naturally congregate in the kitchen.

Types of Kitchen Lighting

Because so many of life’s important moments occur in the kitchen, a house deserves to have a comfortable, functional, and well-lit kitchen. There are three main types of lighting: general, task, and accent. These three lighting types should always coordinate with each other in a home’s kitchen.

Here’s how to do it with style and function in mind.

  • Recessed Kitchen Lighting.

    Recessed/Can Lighting

    Traditional lighting could involve home installation challenges such as electrical work and cutting into walls, recessed lighting provides the benefit of being unobtrusive while enhancing the room's depth. This type of lighting can make your home brighter and more welcoming. Mr. Electric, having completed thousands of recessed lighting installations, offers a range of services, including ceiling fan and tracked lighting installations, covering every aspect of the process.

  • Under Cabinet Lighting.

    Undercabinet Lighting

    Installing under-cabinet lighting significantly improves the functionality of countertops by offering excellent direct light for food preparation and the operation of small appliances. This type of lighting can also highlight decorative backsplashes and improve visibility in laundry, craft, and workshop rooms. Adding lights under cabinets is an affordable method to increase usable space while also boosting the room's aesthetic appeal and ambiance.

  • Kitchen Pendant Lighting.

    Pendant Lights

    The range of pendant lights on the market today is diverse and exciting. To enhance the feel and function of the center of your home, consider adding a stylish pendant light above the kitchen island. If the kitchen features a breakfast nook or dining bar, these are additional spots where a dimmable pendant light will highlight these gathering areas. A well-chosen pendant light will enhance the space, provide a focal point, and illuminate surfaces for meals, card games, and homework sessions. The best light bulbs for kitchen pendants are dimmable LED bulbs.
