Lighting for Utility Areas

Banish the blues from your home’s mudroom or laundry room with lighting that makes dull household tasks a little more pleasant.

Provide task lighting at all work areas in your home, such as a long countertop, laundry room, drafting table, or any other place you’re likely to be doing reading and close work. Hard working task light under cabinets can provide all the down and dirty illumination you need in a laundry room.

Utility spaces don’t have to be lit with ordinary, run-of-the-mill fixtures. Choose an ambient fixture that blends with the rest of your spaces décor in style and design. If you have a bookcase, provide a spotlight or another lighting fixture nearby so you can easily browse.

A return to traditional roots seems to be quite popular in today’s utility areas.
Don’t rule out energy efficient lighting as these fixtures provide excellent illumination and introduce less heat which makes chores more enjoyable.
