Like day and night, lighting design can make all the difference to a room. It doesn't matter how much clients spend on fixtures, without proper lighting that takes into account the room's use and the mood the client wants to create, the final look will not be as beautiful or functional as it could have been. Here are some pointers for good lighting design.

Low-voltage undercounter lighting is one of the best investments to make in a kitchen. Lighting this usually dark area gives the space a nice warm glow. Mounted behind the front cabinet reveal, light is cast down and back, playing up a beautiful backsplash.

If you have pendant fixtures hanging over an island, viewers perceive the island and the fixtures above it as a wall plane dividing the kitchen into two galleys. The beautiful pendant fixtures may, in fact, detract from your remodeling investment. To make the kitchen feel larger, use recessed lights over the island or peninsula. To define a space, such as a breakfast nook between kitchen and family room, use pendants.

When a kitchen is lit from the middle of the room, viewers often perceive the cabinets as a big wooden rectangle, becoming one-dimensional and losing depth of detail. Carefully placing a recessed light 12 inches from the center of a wall cabinet will cause light to cone down over the cabinet, creating a focal point. The viewer now sees vignettes of top and matching bottom cabinets — giving the look of custom furniture.
