The lighting store for your kitchen needs

Before laying out plans for your new kitchen or visiting a lighting store to pick out your fixtures, you may want to sit down with a lighting design professional. Armed with their advice, you’ll be much more comfortable, and knowledgeable, when facing the hundreds of different style and design choices that await you.

Here’s a quick check list of things to bring along on your fixture shopping trip:
1. Copies of the floor plan and/or pictures of your completed kitchen
2. Color chips and samples of floor and wall coverings
3. List of all planned uses for your kitchen
4. A rough sketch of electrical outlet and junction box locations
5. List of appliance, furniture and cabinet styles and colors

Above all, remember, you want fixtures that not only look good but cast a pleasing light on one of the most important room in your home – your new kitchen.
