Lighting is a critical component to consider in the kitchen for both functional and aesthetic purposes. All too often people overlook important kitchen lighting design rules, failing to equip their cooking spaces with appropriate fixtures, and making a number of mistakes that can easily be avoided.
These design faux pas are, at best, superficial problems that don't make your space look its best, but at worst they can make your kitchen difficult to use — too bright or too dark — and generally create an unwelcoming feel.
