Brighten Up Your Kitchen

Q. Are lighting upgrades for the kitchen a good investment?

A. Yes, well-placed, quality lighting improves the overall beauty and the actual value of a home. Lighting gives the appearance of a larger kitchen space, while at the same time making working with the area easier and more enjoyable.

Here are some kitchen lighting options:

General lighting

• Overhead lighting used to brighten the entire space

Task lighting

• Used to highlight specific items, such as a kitchen counter
• Very effective and usually reasonably priced
• Under cabinet fixtures are a popular form of task lighting
• Floods countertops with light and brightens otherwise dark corners

Accent lighting

• Creates emphasis on an object, such as artwork

• Brightens the room in certain areas, yet at the same time can help hide flaws

Multi-functional fixtures and dimmers

• Vary the amount of light in a single space
• Add flexibility – Create more light for food preparation and clean-up and less light for dining

Figuring out how much and where

How much lighting you can add in the kitchen depends on how much electrical capacity is available to the room.  Consult a professional before making any lighting changes or decisions.

Ask yourself, what activities will take place in this room? What mood do I want to set?  Do I need task lighting or will just adding another lamp or brighter bulbs do the trick?

GE has a lot of information regarding products available as well as how to plan your lighting.  Check out their “What’s Your Lighting Style” link for a virtual lighting designer.  Hold down your Ctrl button and this link will take you directly there:  lighting designer
