This document summarizes the different types of lighting used in a kitchen space, including ambient, task, and accent lighting. Ambient lighting creates a comfortable mood throughout the room, while task lighting efficiently illuminates work areas like above the stove and under cabinets. Accent lighting adds an artistic feel, such as lighting positioned above the kitchen island that highlights colors on the walls and ceiling.

This kitchen space demonstrates the
Various forms of lighting. Ambient,
Task and Accent. the Ambient lighting
In this space creates a comforting
Mood in the room. The Task lighting
Provides the workspace to be an
Effcient area in the kitchen. You can
See the task lighting mounted under
The cabinets and above the stove. My
Favorite is the accent lighting. It
Really gives an artistic feel in the
Space positioned above the island.
This kitchen space is modern and also
Demonstrates the various forms of
Lighting. I love the accent lighting in
The center of the space. They even
Create ambient lighting on the
Ceiling. Notice the natural ambient
Light provided by the windows above
The cabinets. The task lighting is
Mounted in the cabinets for the
Counter space. the task
Lighting accents the tile backsplash.
The ambient lighting also highlights
The colors of the walls creating a
Calm mood within the space.
