FALL SPECIAL Ornamental Pear Tree lla Caliper, 8 ft. Similar size trees available In today's busy households, the kitchen Is often the hub of family activity, fast replacing the living room as a favorite gathering place. As a result, modern kitchens are being designed as multipurpose rooms where the cook can spend leisure time with family or friends and accomplish a variety of tasks. Breakfast bars, seating nooks and dining areas are virtually standard features today, reflecting the kitchen's Increasing Importance as a family and entertainment center. Finding the right recipe for kitchen lighting Is thus much more of a challenge today than It was years ago.

Lighting must be comfortable and attractive as well as functional, meaning that a blend of general, task and accent lighting Is required. Since the kitchen Is still primarily a work area, experts from the American Lighting Association recommend that your first Ingredient be adequate task lighting for cooking, baking and scouring pots and pans. While a large celling fixture, such as a surface fluorescent, will afford plenty of well-diffused general lighting, It may leave you working In your own shadow at the sink, range and counter tops. To remedy this, consider adding supplemental task lighting above the work areas. This can be accomplished by: Installing recessed downlights In the ceiling or in soffits over work areas; mounting a track-lighting system on the ceiling over work areas; or putting linear fluorescent fixtures or miniature track lights under the cabinets.

Recessed and track lighting can also be used to provide general lighting for the room and accent lighting for cabinetry and other special features.
