Home is where the hearth is and the heart. The truth of it all is that the heart of any home is its nerve center and that, ultimately,
is the kitchen whether under the bright light of day, or the ambient lighting of the refigerator door opening long after everyone else in the house has gone to bed.
When it comes right down to
it, kitchen lighting may well prove the brains of the operation, shedding a little light on a lot of responsibility from focusing task areas to
highlighting and crystallizing the glass collection to lighting the way towards an ambient evening from casual to contemporary; from potluck to
casual and contemporary.
When it comes right down to it, the reality is that kitchen lighting has almost as many responsibilities as the chief cook and bottle washer in residence.

First and foremost, lighting
must sufficiently shine on high task areas to enable and foster creativity. Secondly, lighting must function as an essential kitchen decor

Secondly, lighting must function as an essential kitchen decor
element focusing on those elements that require center stage, while subduing those that don’t. Finally, lighting should set the stage,
whether for a casual get together, an intimate conversational dinner or highlighting the days events on leftover Tuesdays.
Kitchen lighting is up to the task of highlighting a high ceiling when uplights are installed atop cabinetry. And under cabinet lighting is
among the easiest of ways to focus attention on countertops.
Task lighting should never be a chore particularly when it comes to shedding a
little light on the island, or the sink.
In the end, kitchen lighting is never more at home than on the range.
