Kitchen With Pendant Light
This is the second post for my eight-part Kitchen Mini Makeover “episode”. The Kitchen Mini Makeover topic aims to help you to have a low-cost but high impact makeover tricks on your kitchen. On the previous post I have discussed the Kitchen Mini Makeover: Redo The Floor part. This post will be all about the lighting effect on your kitchen.
Mini Makeover Trick: The right lighting can make a kitchen glow and give small space an airier ambiance. New lighting is also cheaper than carving out windows or skylights.
What To Buy: Replacing a boring ceiling light with a fancy chandelier can create more design impact. Also consider a bulb makeover. According to Joseph Rey-Barreau, the education consultant of American Lighting Association and associate professor of University of Kentucky-College of Design, “swapping your old incandescent for new, color-enhancing fluorescents can make your worn cabinets looks brighter and better. Bulbs rated 2,700 degrees Kelvin casts a light similar to incandescent bulb. Try 4,200 Kelvin fluorescent for a white look. For working areas, under cabinet halogen, xenon or fluorescent task light can do the trick because they cast fewer shadows.
Tip: For a designer look, hang two or three pendant lights over an island or a sink. s
Cost: About $60 to $70 per foot for under cabinet lights about $3 for high-color-rendering compact fluorescent bulbs. For pendants lights average about $100 per piece.
