You might be shopping for new island pendants, since that’s where you serve hors d’oeuvres, help the kids with the homework, and much more. Island lighting can be a main source of illumination, but another ceiling fixture might be necessary, such as a flush-mount option. For the countertops, it’s best to invest in under cabinet lighting, so you can see as you prepare ingredients for each meal. Finally, recessed lights can also be a good addition, as they will spread light throughout the kitchen.
