You've finally determined how you want your kitchen to look, feel and flow, now it's time to address your kitchen's lighting.

General, ambient and task lighting can enhance the beauty of the cabinetry in the room and create the atmosphere you require for every occassion and time of day.

Is your kitchen north facing? If so, this will make the room appear much darker in the winter months. Strategically placed light in certain areas will alleviate dark corners.

LED lighting is directional and highlights certain areas instead of cascading together, which is why it's primarily used for task, accent or mood lighting.

Remember to kepp the proportions of the space in mind when you choose overhead or pendant fixtures as well. If the light is too large or too small it may not suit the application and the end result will be disappointing.

These tips are worth the effort of looking into in order to achieve the end result you've envisioned!
