In the moment you start to lighten up your rooms you will probably see that there are some of them, or parts of them, where corners are even more darker than others. In this case consider pendant lighting fixtures that will brighten up a dark corner or above a breakfast bar (for example) very nicely. You can use an accent pendant light that displays the rest of the kitchen.

Pendant lights can brind that additional illumination needed to put things in order. Except the additional lights, mirrors also have their part in this mission. So why not use one of them?
