Today’s kitchens are the central gathering place in the home. Whether you are remodeling or building from the ground up it is essential to plan your kitchen lighting to provide for a variety of functions - from a bright light for food preparation and cleaning to a softer, warmer light source for conversation and entertaining friends.

The tremendous range of kitchen lighting and controls available today make it easy for homeowners to choose kitchen lighting that performs multiple tasks, from recessed lighting for general area lighting to bright light directed to food preparation and cooking areas. Accent lighting is also popular – providing a focus on cabinets or walls as well as providing additional lighting for task areas.

Here Are Some Design Tips For Kitchen Lighting Think about lighting controls – Because your kitchen has so many functions, you will want to change the intensity of every light in the room. Don’t just buy a switch. Your budget should at least include basic dimmers that allow you to adjust the lighting to suit the requirements of any moment. More complex wireless lighting control systems are now available that are easy to install and relatively inexpensive.

Pendants Pendants provide a directed light on popular task areas.

Toe Kick Lighting Creates a balance of light from ceiling to floor, adding depth and character to a room.

No more flickering fluorescent – Ever the old kitchen stand-by, fluorescent lighting, has undergone a sea change. No longer the pasty, flickering light of the 1970’s, fluorescent lighting is quickly being replaced by LED lighting that can be selected according to color and warmth, from a natural white for food preparation or a bright white that mimics daylight for food preparation, cooking and cleaning dishes.

Under Cabinet Lighting – LED products have also revolutionized under-cabinet lighting. New products such as flexible tape lighting are easily installed along under cabinet edges, in toe kicks, and even inside the top edges of cabinets or ceiling molding. LED lighting is cool to the touch – so you don’t have to worry about cabinets getting overheated and becoming a fire hazard.

Pendants – Pendants provide a directed light on popular task areas such as kitchen islands. Many glass pendants are hand blown and make a unique design statement. The infinite array of glass choices and colors make it easy to pick up styles, finishes and colors from the rest of your home.

Consult with a professional – Homeowners considering a kitchen renovation should remember to consult with their local lighting showroom before undertaking any construction. Professional lighting designers will work with you to create a lighting layout that covers all your needs and avoids expensive retrofits.

LIGHTING DESIGN TIPS

Everyone needs a bit of pampering. And what better place to rejuvenate than the master bathroom? The bathroom is a private place that should provide a calm and quiet retreat from today’s hectic lifestyle. The right lighting can go a long way toward providing the right atmosphere. As a part of your design process, here are a few important details to consider.

Here Are Some Design Tips For Bath Lighting Lighting Controls – No one likes entering the bathroom and having the lights go on at full volume. Make sure you include dimmers or a more sophisticated lighting controller that allows you to preset lighting levels for multiple sources.

Ventilation – Don’t go for cheap, noisy fans. High volume, low sone fans remove more air with less sound. They may be a little more expensive, but you’ll appreciate the quiet atmosphere after a hectic day.

Mirrors – Bathrooms pack a lot of activity into a small space. Large mirrors work magic making a small space feel larger. They also reflect light and should be considered as a lighting source. For the best solution email us or give us a call. Our Lighting Designers will be happy to help!

Wall Sconces placed on each side of the mirror will provide the even, shadow-free facial illumination necessary for daily grooming tasks. For best results, mount fixtures at least 28” apart and 60” off the floor.

Newer techniques of bathroom lighting even include using small pendants on either side of the mirror.

Vanity Lights The best lighting solution is achieved with fixtures with shades.

Mirrors Large mirrors work magic making a small space feel larger.

Vanity lights will ensure that each person has sufficient light. Mount the strip 78� off the floor. The best lighting solution is achieved with fixtures that include a shade for each bulb.

Also add a dimmer to your vanity light. You will be amazed at how often you will use it and how much comfort it adds to the use of your bathroom.

Shower and tub lighting should be bright enough for cleaning, shaving and reading shampoo labels. Choose recessed downlights designed for use in wet areas. Shielded fixtures will protect reclining bathers’ eyes from glare.

An adjustable accent light aiming from outside the tub is dramatic, glare-free and great for those who bring books to the bath.

Undercabinet lighting can make middle-of-the-night trips to the bathroom safer and easier. Install a low-voltage linear lighting or LED system in the toe spaces beneath the vanities and cabinets.

Consider installing an occupancy sensor wall switch so the lights come on when you need them and switch off when not in use to save energy.

In the center of the ceiling, a decorative light fixture that blends with the rest of your decor provides an elegant touch while providing adequate light for safety, cleaning and moving about. It also balances the brightness of other bathroom lights.

Ceiling mount fixtures, small chandeliers and decorative vent fans with integrated lighting are a few of the options for modern bathrooms.
