YOUR KITCHEN   من اصل4 2

dark kitchens are a common occurrence. Architectural upgrades such as
skylights, atrium, and conservatory windows above your kitchen could be a
viable option to consider. Or you may want to install solar tubes that reflect
light from your roof, through a tube and into your kitchen.
You could be absorbing much of the natural light into the material you use
in your existing window treatments before it illuminates your kitchen. If you
currently have heavy materials or dark fabrics, and if you have a kitchen
space that doesn’t demand privacy, consider losing the drapery all together.
If not, Lighter materials such as cotton, linen, and sheer materials are
wonderful for letting in sunlight.
While natural light is used in the daytime, at night – varied lighting is
essential. If you wonder how you can illuminate your kitchen without

in the center of the room or over a kitchen table or breakfast nook. There
are fixtures that are flushed to the ceiling and other that are Semi-flush-

centimeters away and indirect light reflects from the ceiling.
Chandeliers: they hang from the ceiling and often add more shine and take
up more space than a ceiling fixture. They have two or more arms with up
lights or down lights, and provide general lighting.
Traditionally Most people choose chandeliers for more formal dining tables
or dining rooms. But not anymore, more kitchens now include a chandelier
in their main setting.
Pendants: suspended from the ceiling, and generally used as main lighting
but I sometimes place them over islands, or open counter areas,
