Kitchen remodeling can be a tough yet
enjoyable project. Even if it has been years since you made any design changes,
you can alter the entire look of your kitchen simply by making minor changes,
such as updating old lighting fixtures.
Your choice in kitchen lighting can
drastically change the mood in the room with just a simple change in the color
of your light bulbs. You will immediately create a whole different atmosphere
in your kitchen. If you want to give your kitchen a facelift, changing the
lighting is definitely a great way to get started.
Kitchen lighting can be classified
under three main types:
First is the surface mount ceiling light or recessed light, which
attaches directly to the ceiling of the kitchen. This is most common and
probably the cheapest kind of kitchen lighting you can find. Ceiling lights
come in all shapes and sizes but the most common are rectangular and circular.
These kitchen lighting fixtures are usually wide and can provide adequate
lighting for the entire kitchen, but they are often lacking in style and
elegance.
The second type of kitchen lighting
is the hanging or pendant light. The
hanging light can either be a single light hanging down from the ceiling. A
chandelier is also considered a form of pendant light which is composed of
several small lights hanging from the ceiling. Pendant lights are popular in
groups of two or three mounted over a kitchen table or counter where bright
light is needed to help with food preparation or eating.
The third type of kitchen light is
the under cabinet light. Under
cabinet lights are meant to be installed beneath the upper wall cabinets. Under
cabinet lighting is both practical and decorative but is considered “task
lighting” to aid with food preparation.

Ceiling fixtures are designed in a way to provide general lighting to the entire kitchen. Typically, they project down from the ceiling and are usually the biggest lighting piece found in the kitchen. These fixtures can also be hung over a breakfast nook or a kitchen table. There are two types of ceiling fixture; flush-mount ceiling fixture with the glass or diffuser touching the ceiling and semi-flush ceiling fixtures where the bowl projecting from the ceiling such that it hangs a couple of inches away, with indirect light reflecting from the ceiling (think of it like an upside down umbrella).
