Perhaps the most important room our homes where we need great lighting, is the kitchen. Our kitchens should be happy and bright places, particularly since we spend so much time in them.  Kitchens are the real gathering room – the heart and hub of our home.  A kitchen is usually the first stop when we reach home, a place where keys and phones are dumped, mail sorted, homework reviewed and of course – eating and lots of conversation.

Check out this lovely Kitchen below.  Here is an example of great kitchen lighting.  Take note of the LED recessed lighting in the ceiling to provide overall light.  Notice the under cabinet LED task lights to brighten corners and make recipe reading easy.  Add in two great chandeliers over the island, a large window over the sink, French doors lighting the eating area and the reflection off the white marble island and you have great kitchen light.

Next, notice the detail in this light and bright kitchen – in all white.  There is major outside light bouncing everywhere in this crisp white space.  Notice the second row of upper cabinets, all with glass doors.  The ceiling beams help create an orderly pattern and provide a perfect spot to hide the recessed lighting.  Once again, notice the very large windows of the sink and dining area.  This is indeed a happy space.

Check out the huge skylight in the ceiling of this symmetrical kitchen.  I love the long table down the center where not only meals can take place, but extra space for cooking or baking – or even that perfect homework spot.

This next Kitchen says “light” from the start.  With a cased opening entry with transom above to the vaulted tongue and groove wood ceiling, complete with a skylight and half moon windows over the stove hood and sink, to the under cabinet lighting, this Kitchen just sparkles.

Light and bright Kitchens are one of the most important things that Buyers are looking for in their home search.  If you are thinking of selling in Central Florida, and would like a complimentary consultation on how to light your kitchen to show it off to it’s very best, just call Jan!
