The magnitude of the activity takes place in the kitchen
makes an important place where the use of practical and decorative lighting is
a must. Some things to watch;
A number of questions before we begin to turn your kitchen
First question first, you must ask when designing your kitchen
lighting is how much you're willing to spend. After all bulbs do cost something
- and this is not the only son and switches, but also the nature of the
lighting, colors and bulbs. The next question in your mind is whether you have
a lighting plan kitchen. A good plan will definitely go up lighting in
architectural and decorative details of the room. A plan will help you invest
wisely in the kitchen lighting needs. If you want to go to a lighting design
progressive view that you do not have enough budget say for example a series of
pendants over the island center, or a glass chandelier at least install boxes
sufficient junction devices can then be bought at a later date and easily added
the kitchen lighting needs. After determining the budget and plan, you should
think about the space in your kitchen. This is important in determining the
amount of light, and in which areas of the kitchen need for special lighting.
We must also consider whether the Board except for a single central light, how
many other multiple lighting options may be needed. This is determined by the
area or room space, activities in the kitchen and are important, and placement
of interior items such as stove, sink and kitchen-table if present. For
example, small kitchens require only a central light pendant ceiling and a
number of recessed lighting task hidden under a wardrobe. More elaborate
kitchens will demand a mixture of general, task and accent lighting.
Know the nature of the kitchen lighting
Lighting a kitchen is a different ball game compared to
other rooms in your home lighting, as no light source can provide all the
necessary kitchen lighting needs. It is very important to know that a good
kitchen lighting is not only considered the aesthetic standpoint, but from a
functional standpoint. This will help us ensure that we today take different
types of lighting to LED lighting and tech went to the different levels of
cooking operations to be performed. What is usually referred stratification
lamp instead of lighting requires a blend of three to four different types of
lighting. To meet this demand of lighting in layers, there are basically four
types of lighting that meet the mark;
Working lights or lighting Chore: It relieves the most
functional and practical kitchen by providing adequate lighting for essential
tasks such as cooking cut vegetables, food preparation and, yes, read recipes.
Most accidents that occur in the kitchen are usually due to these tasks and
design the appropriate task lighting can really happen. Work areas must be
light enough so you can easily see what you are doing too dull or eye-dusk
effort. The important thing to remember is mostly instead of task lighting to
brighten up a work area, the shadows. For this does not happen, the lights work
is best placed between the actual workplace and your head, causing lights to
say under the upper cabinets are very useful. Thus, lighting placed above the
sink, stove and food, when poetry is performed regularly. Most of the lighting
is accomplished by using a uniform lighting recessed lights, table lamps or
raised surface at the top to secure. Remember that each task lights, if
possible, would have its own switch and honestly, you'll be happy with the
result. Given the nature of halogen lamps for lighting and task of the CFL
(energy efficient light bulbs category) are less light and shade with a large
surface is best to go. He electrifies the look of granite and marble
countertops and still allow you to enjoy your cooking task seriously.
Or ambient light or indirect lighting: This type of lighting
gives a warm glow to your kitchen, creating a warm welcome to those entering
the kitchen. It plays an important role in mitigating unwanted shadows, making
the contrast kitchen and light the vertical surfaces of the room to give a
better appearance. In general, it should be noted that the four types of
lighting, room temperature is often overlooked. In fact, the most dramatic
aspect and gentle that you can achieve in a kitchen is by mixing with other
forms of lighting indirect lighting. It is often created by hiding the light
source from view when it bounces off a ceiling or a wall and produces a warm
glow that adds great atmosphere if done correctly. The best places to mood
lighting can be hidden on top of wall cabinets and the ceiling is low or they
can be installed in areas of ceiling layers that surround the space of a
kitchen. In the event that your kitchen is equipped with light-colored surfaces
and lots of windows, you may want to have lots of natural light during the day.
CFLs on the basis of tubes (the link light) are well suited to the job of
providing ambient light.
Accent lighting or eminent: This type of lighting gives
depth and dimension to your kitchen. It helps you your more decorative in your
kitchen even as a glass or crockery beautiful, elegant, luxury cutlery sets,
stunning canvas art prints or your food beautifully prepared as possible. For
example, lighting can be placed in a glass front cabinet to illuminate
glassware, and other collections, as well as recessed, adjustable low voltage
lighting used to illuminate canvas art prints. You can make use of spotlights
to your cooked food that will also help to stay warm for long relief.
Decorative or ornamental lighting: This type of lighting is
used to add effects to the sparkling kitchen that can be jealous of your
neighbors. It can also be useful for finding this type of lighting, especially
if the kitchen is also used as a dining room of the house. Today, because of
the range of available light, you can opt for a decorative lighting as
functional. For example, many functional enlightenment in a number of finishes
such as wrought iron, rust, nickel is an aesthetic sense to give your kitchen.
Painted finishes are also popular, with stained glass bypasses plain white catchy.
You might also consider a decorative luminaire with three or more lamps. As a
trio on an island provides good light, because it breaks in areas of decorative
kitchen modules, but you can still see through. Some other ideas could be
decorative lighting table space is illuminated by a decorative candelabra style
projector, which offers light meals.
Finally, some tips and common mistakes to avoid
No matter how much light you have in your kitchen, it is
advisable to follow them separately so the lighting is zoned. You can create an
atmosphere by mixing the various lights on.
If it is possible, even when you shop online, take a picture
of your kitchen or at least know the dimensions of your kitchen. What is the
ceiling? How much space is there between the cabinets and the ceiling? How much
space is there between the cabinets and the countertop? To make sure you cook
the best lighting scheme for your kitchen, use a free advice from the store of
professional lighting. It is best to go shopping done before the actual
purchase.
Maybe you have the perfect lamp, but we can not forget the
bulbs just as important. To make the most of your lighting to do, try using
lights with different beam spreads for different effects. The projectors are
ideal for creating large-scale lighting and a central ceiling, while the spots
are ideal for shedding light on specific areas such as accent lighting.
No matter how many types of lighting or appliances to
install, use lamps of the same color for all kitchen lighting
If you spend money in a pretty box or a table in the
kitchen, for example, want to ensure they are well lit. If not, the light
actually creates gray shadow areas. If you have deep cabinets in dark corners,
you want to consider installing lights in it so you can see what is hidden in
the back
When it comes to kitchen lighting is the most common mistake
of trying to get the whole room with a ceiling with a knife. The end result
visually overwhelming everything in the kitchen. Recessed lighting, if
installed in a generic script, is not much better. Many people are wrong, and
they will end up with too much light in some areas and shadows everywhere else
On the other hand, another common mistake we all do, about
lighting and results, the kitchen gets too hot. The goal here is to moderate,
even lighting and the most important mixtures of different lights. For example,
you can not continue to add recessed lights because of the visual aspect,
instead of mixing different types of lighting.
