• Construction of the kitchen You need to study
  the outlay of available space in the kitchen.
  e.g. The width of the doorway along with
  measurements of countertops, walkways and the
  dimensions of the area to work on.
• Lighting The lighting of a kitchen can alter its
  appearance dramatically. When working on the

(a)-Task Lighting Task lighting is used in areas
like that under the cabinet which are often dark.
For this under cabinet lighting would be ideal
with lights installed beneath them. Having a
minimum of 2 fixtures in a task area will remove
shadows and darkness. Having recessed and track
lights are also a good idea where there are no
cabinets overhead. (b)-Ambient lighting This is
accomplished with ceiling fixtures, track lights
and wall sconces etc. to provide overall lighting
to the area. Have dimmer switches installed to
increase or reduce the light intensity.

Install ceiling cabinets While they are a bit
more expensive they offer valuable storage space
for kitchen stuff. An added benefit is there is
no need to clean their tops. Get corner cabinets
To make optimum use of kitchen spaces install
corner cabinets. They come in a variety of
combinations of drawers and doors perfect to
store kitchen items which help to make the area
look clutter free.

Hang them up Having small shelving units on the
wall it offers space to hang and store pots and
skillets. Decorate the ceilings You could add
some texture, a dash of paint or even ceramic
tiles to brighten up the look of the ceiling.
These could be done in a way to match the colour
theme of the kitchen floor or walls that will add
a touch of glamour to the kitchen. Improve
energy efficiency By installing energy-efficient
new appliances like a convection cooking food
range, water saving dishwasher and a host of
other such gadgets it will improve energy use and
enhance the look.
