Kitchen Lighting Tips From Experts on DIYNetwork.com
DIYNetwork.com presents to you some kitchen lighting tips from Joe Rey-Barreau, director of education for the American Lighting Association, and lighting designer Randall Whitehead. Here, the two lighting experts shared their thoughts on the different types of lighting – the task lighting, ambient lighting, accent lighting, and decorative lighting. According to Rey-Barreau, decorative lighting is great in the kitchen if the scale of the fixtures is right for the space, and that the shade material has enough opacity can hide the light bulb effectively. He added that dimmers and switches are the most inexpensive ways to coordinate lighting levels. For Whitehead, he said that many people overlook ambient lighting as an important layer in the kitchen.
