Out of all the rooms in the house, the kitchen always seems to be the one that gets the most of our attention. 'Open plan' seems to be the buzzword for new builds, with Islands and breakfast stands creating an environment where people can spend time together. Most of the time, it is the little touches that create the atmosphere. Little touches like lights and audio, can make the difference between a good kitchen and a excellent kitchen. Here is a shortlist of some of the products that could be used to create the perfect atmosphere.

Pendant lights

Pendant lights can be used to create a mood atmosphere. Pendant lights can be spaced out from each other and due to their design and location, can help create the finishing touch. Most Pendant lights come with a small light shade, which creates a small display of brightness, below the lights themselves.  Nice to look at during the daylight hours, and creating a display in the evening time.
