Ever think about changing the lighting in you home? Recessed lighting fixtures can add expertly placed light in your home and take up no room at all; freeing your spaces up for other things!
Don't worry, just because your home wasn't built with recessed lighting fixtures already in place doesn't mean you can't add them now. There are all sorts of kits and "how too" info to help you add these lights after the fact.
Take your kitchen for example. Generally you have one central light, and maybe one over the sink. But you have to see to cut and read that old recipe of Grandma's that is handwritten on that old paper. The light in the kitchen needs to be bright, but not cause glare and create shadows that will interfere with what you are doing. Lighting recessed into the ceiling can do all that for you. Just some careful calculations and you can get all the lighting you require.
Offices are another space that can really benefit from recessed lighting fixtures. You will need task lighting, like in the kitchen, for over your work space. Again, you don't want glare off the pages you are reading or the computer screen. And you don't want your own shadow to block your light. You might also have a lovely painting on one wall that would be enhanced by some eyeball lighting - helping to make that a focal point in the room. On the other wall there may be a beautiful bookcase, covered in both written treasures and perhaps memorabilia. A nice wall washing effect here can really bathe the space in the proper light.
What ever the room, recessed lighting fixtures can be the solution you were looking for. Just watch out for current ceiling joists if you are cutting into a pre-existing ceiling. There is nothing you can't do with these lights to improve the space at hand.
