subject: Guide To Kitchen Lighting From Ryness [print this page] For some, the kitchen is the hub of the house: home to family meals, candle-lit suppers, homework projects and leisurely weekend brunches. For some, its where they get to indulge their love of cooking for hours on end, and for some its simply where they indulge their love of snacking with late-night raids of the fridge. No matter whether its where you cook up a storm or just crack open a beer with your mates, the kitchen is an important room in the house. Effective lighting can help you make the most out of your kitchen and is all too often an afterthought. Leading domestic lighting supplier Ryness (http://www.ryness.co.uk) offers its guide to kitchen lighting.
Consider your personal use of the kitchen. It may seem obvious at first, but as discussed, people use the kitchen in all sorts of different ways. Cooking enthusiasts will have different lighting requirements to people who primarily socialise in the kitchen, and those who eat in the kitchen on a regular basis will need different lighting to those who just use it as a means to an end. Think about how you really use your kitchen on a regular basis and then plan your lighting around it. Spot lights directed onto work surfaces are ideal for cooks, whereas ceiling pendant lights will illuminate a kitchen table more effectively. If you socialise in your kitchen ambient lighting may be right for you, whereas if you have a utilitarian relationship with your kitchen you may want to go for a money-saving option with basic cheap lightbulbs.
The choice of light bulbs and light fittings for the kitchen is immense, from LED lighting to strip lighting, recessed lighting, energy saving light bulbs and more. Ryness helps you narrow down the search by dividing all of its lighting products into clearly defined departments so you can find just the right product for your needs. Be imaginative, however many people concentrate on how to light their living rooms and bedrooms but not their kitchen. When you consider how much a kitchen costs this seems strange. Youve probably spent a good deal on your kitchen so why not show it off to its full potential? There are so many ingenious lighting options available for kitchens if you just do a little research and use your imagination: under shelf and under cabinet lighting; dimmable lightbulbs; kitchen island lighting; spot lighting on attractive areas of the kitchen and not just on the surfaces, etc. Take a browse through the different lighting departments at http://www.ryness.co.uk/ and get inspired about how to light one of the most important rooms of the house.
