spring into new light   March 2024   Spring into new light PureEdge Lighting Give your home a fresh start Springtime often means a fresh start for your home. Whether simply reorganizing, making minor changes like adding a new light fixture or a pop of wall color, or totally revamping make sure to properly light your room for the tasks or activities that take place there. No matter how much effort goes into a home update, it will not be enjoyed to the fullest without three layers of light: Ambient/general lighting, such as a chandelier, pendant or ceiling fan with a light, is essential for general illumination, especially at night. Accent lighting creates a cozy, comfortable feel by lighting areas such as artwork, bookshelves or cabinets (inside, underneath or above). Task lighting may be a portable lamp on a desk or other light source focused directly on your work surface, such as a pendant or directed spotlight.

Kichler Lighting Transform ordinary into extraordinary It’s the most popular living space in the house, so why not transform an ordinary kitchen into your extraordinary comfort zone? You do not have to go through a major renovation to change your kitchen from just a place to cook and eat to the perfect spot to gather, relax and unwind with family and friends. Without the right light, your kitchen will just be a utilitarian space to cook and serve meals. A few carefully chosen, well-placed light fixtures can create a workable, beautiful space. An on-trend chandelier or pendant combined with easy-to-install under-cabinet or toe-kick lighting will instantly create an updated look. If the only source of lighting in your kitchen or dining area is from recessed cans, consider adding a few fixtures to serve as aesthetic and functional focal points in the room over the casual eating area and/or the island. Pendants are easy to install and come in many different sizes, colors and styles making it easy to create a look that shows off your personal taste while providing the right amount of illumination.
