Are you having a new kitchen installed at your Amersham home? Then you’ll need a qualified electrician with experience in planning kitchen electrics to help you maximise it’s potential.
Electrical work in the kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of your Amersham home. When planning a new kitchen it’s easy to get caught up with the exciting decisions such as colour schemes, worktop materials and gadget shopping. If you are investing in a new kitchen it’s important that it doesn’t just look great, but that it also works for you. All those new gadgets will need plug sockets, the hardwired induction hob may put too much strain on your existing electrics, and if you plan on spending your down time cooking up a storm, you’re going to need excellent kitchen lighting. By involving an experienced electrician early in the kitchen planning process all these little details will be considered and your new kitchen will be so much more enjoyable.
Planning Kitchen lighting
Kitchen lighting is an often-overlooked aspect of kitchen electrics. Good, well-placed lighting at your Amersham home makes day to day tasks easier and more enjoyable. We will look at your ceiling height, the size of the space and ask you about how you plan to use your kitchen to determine which types of lighting would be best in which areas. For example, if you plan to entertain in your kitchen, you’ll benefit from layered lighting that can create a more relaxed atmosphere at the table rather than a single harsh light.
Some things to consider include:
- Lighting placement: Spotlights and downlights should be installed so as to limit overhead shadows on worktops, giving you a clear view of what you are creating.
- Atmosphere: Under cabinet lighting or LED strip lighting can add layers to your lighting scheme providing a gentler atmosphere perfect for family time and entertaining.
- Feature & decorative lighting: Feature lighting over kitchen islands or dining tables can add a bright and modern feel.
