Give your kitchen a lighting makeover Updating your kitchen lighting or simply adding the light where it's needed can create an inviting new look and may even help save you the time and cost of major improvements. Hollywood was right. Sometimes, it really is all about the lighting. If you feel your kitchen needs a new look, consider a lighting makeover as your first step. Updating your overall room lighting or simply adding light where it's needed may help save you the time and cost of major improvements. To help you get started, here are a few tips from Sea Gull Lighting, the manufacturer of Ambiance Lighting Systems: + Make counter areas more useable while giving a smaller kitchen the illusion of larger space with task lighting. + Bring out the long-forgotten shape and beauty of kitchen cabinets with cove lighting, which can add a warm, accenting glow. + Replace solid cabinet fronts with glass and add disk lighting to create a new, more inviting look that's more like furniture. + For task, cabinet and toe-space lighting use the patented Ambiance Lighting System's linear system, which allows you to place miniature lights virtually anywhere you desire. Low-voltage lighting lets you create a contemporary, retro or elegant look. + Install pendants over tables and island counters for dramatic effect or more direct lighting. Incorporating pendant lighting over center islands or long counter areas lets you create an entirely new look and focal point.
