Lighting: the easiest way to make your remodel feel “high-end”
Lighting is where great kitchens are made.
A strong plan usually includes:
- Ambient lighting: recessed lights spaced correctly (not random)
- Task lighting: under‑cabinet lighting for counters
- Feature lighting: pendants over the island or a statement fixture in the nook
- Warm color temperature for a flattering, coastal feel
Pro tip: Put key lighting on dimmers. You’ll use your kitchen differently at 7:00 AM than at 7:00 PM.
