    LIGHTING<\/h2>\n

    If possible, it is best to have good natural lighting. Then place the kitchen next to large windows, which define a visually deeper and broader space.<\/p>\n

    A kitchen, the more will be bright and the more will look bigger.<\/p>\n

    Artificial lighting spots are also very important, which must be designed and positioned so that the space becomes livable and functional.<\/p>\n

    When the available centimeters are well designed, comfort and elegance are always assured.<\/p>\n
