Kitchen Remodeling Tips From Our Local Contractors in Houston, TX 77056
A common look in many kitchens in 77056 is adding display and lighting fixtures. Once the general kitchen illumination is decided on, think about adding some decorative feature lighting to the mix. Fitting strips or spots above, below, or even inside your wall cabinets can transform a bland row of identical cabinets. All that should be on show is the glow, so make sure fixtures and switches are concealed, and choose low-voltage bulbs - particularly for inside cabinets - which won't get too hot. Colored light can work superbly here, both in the daytime and at night, and will add a subtle decorative twist to a plain white kitchen.
For a more dramatic statement, invest in one grand piece: a sparkly chandelier, perhaps, or a sculptural floor lamp, just because the kitchen is a utility area, doesn't mean it needs to be dull.
To produce a quirky, contemporary feel, consider installing an illuminated panel on the wall, the ceiling, or even the floor. You should even turn the entire back-splash into a light box. Topped with tinted glass or acrylic sheet, any back-lit panel will look just like modern art and will wash the kitchen with subtle colored light. You will need to get any unusual lighting fixtures specially made, but this does not necessarily mean that they will be more expensive than store-bought items. Look in design magazines for ideas, and get advice from the experts above.
