Lighting works ten times harder in a kitchen than in any other room. It has to provide enough light to perform tasks, yet also feel warm and ambient for the various uses of the space.
Which is why so many interior designers recommend the rule of three when it comes to kitchen lighting. It's not actually about the number of light fixtures; it's about the number of light types and sources. This approach ensures you tick the boxes for task, accent, and ambient lighting, resulting in a space that's ready to illuminate any and every use.
