LIGHTING
Kitchens need plenty of light. When planning
your kitchen, it is vital that you take time to
think about your lighting needs – both natural
and artificial.
While traditional lighting provides great
functionality, the modern forms of lighting
(including halogen) can provide better light
quality and create unique features within the
kitchen.
Downlights are discreet and sometimes
invisible and can be used for many different
purposes. The lighting effects they produce
are their most important feature and there is
virtually no limitation when using downlights
in your kitchen.
Suspended and surface mounted lights
are the usual choice, where aesthetics
are important. By suspending the light or
protruding it slightly from the ceiling, you can
create focal points that enhance the overall
look and feel of the kitchen.
Other options include lighting within
translucent glass cupboards for subtle effects
in the evening. PlaceMakers has a variety of
exciting options which you can discuss with
our kitchen consultants.
SPLASH-BACKS
The space directly behind the cooking area
is subject to the highest level of spoilage and
can also add a lot of visual impact to your
kitchen. Many materials can be used to finish
this surface and all offer particular benefits.
The key is to identify the right material, so
it pays to look at a range of options before
making up your mind.
Stainless steel brings a commercial feel and
can be cut to any size.
Glass and Seratone offer durability and
cleaning benefits. Available in an array of
modern colours.
Tiles look good and give the best fire
protection. But consider using larger tiles,
where fewer grouted surfaces mean less area
for grime to accumulate.
Naturally, PlaceMakers are able to assist you
with these options.
