We can emulate the moods of natural light in our kitchen environments.
One of the most important components of your kitchen design is lighting, both in terms of how you see the overall picture and how you will function within it. Today I would like to introduce and welcome Guest Blogger and lighting expert Marcia Excelrud. I asked her how to begin when considering lighting for the heart of the home.
“ Lighting is part of our every day life. It creates a mood and determines how we see the world around us. The best way to begin thinking about lighting is by looking at nature. I took some pictures at the park near-by, showing how the position of the clouds and sun affect how we visualize the colors and shapes of our environment. Glare and reflections play a big part. We can create the same effects at night or indoors depending on the lamps, fixtures and accessories we use as seen in the kitchen photo above. I will stop by Kitchens for Living now and again to share with you the best products and techniques to show your kitchen in the best light."

Light plays a significant part on our kitchen's overall look. No matter how simple the design may be, but if you play with the lighting and do the appropriate setup, a great looking kitchen will be achieved. The lighting tells the story of our kitchen. And it is often based on the owner's personality..it depends.
