Lighting schemes are key to ensuring that spick and span stainless steel kitchen sinks and taps are as eye-catching as possible, according to a lighting specialist.Exhibiting at last years House and Garden Fair, designer John Cullen issued some kitchen lighting tips to the events website, highlighting the importance of creating a sense of space.Small galley-style kitchens often employ compact sink models such as the Ariane ARX110 35, but the designer claimed that a downlight could add a spacious feel as much as compact appliances.Downlights Mr Cullen claimed - give a warm glow to even the smallest kitchens and help to bounce light off fitted cupboards, in turn accentuating colours and providing a spacious feel.And people with attractive cabinet fittings should make the most of them by downlighting them to the max.A further tip urged homeowners to avoid exposed light fittings, which often collect grime in the kitchen and give smaller rooms a messy feel.
