HGTV has a great slideshow of ways to boost the style of your kitchen. I picked the photos that show updates to the lighting and ceilings of kitchens….important elements for the chef and for the eye. Lighting can change the entire feel of a kitchen, and its functionality as well.
Whether you’re planning to enjoy your home for a little while longer and want a breath of fresh air, or if you’re planning on putting your home on the market soon, kitchen upgrades are almost always a good place to spend your renovation dollars.
Oversized Lighting

Modern, sleek cabinetry stained a rich espresso is complemented by the equally modern styling of the massive drum pendant. The look is young, hip and totally pulled-together.
Go Industrial

Swap traditional pendants for commercial-grade fixtures for a look that's au courant. Contrasted with classic Italian marble and traditional cabinetry, industrial lighting makes a trendy statement.
Consider a Stylish Update to your Kitchen Ceilings

This high-end kitchen has all the bells and whistles including a traditional coffered ceiling. It's a high-impact update that will take your kitchen to a new level of sophistication.
Let the Outdoor Light into Your Kitchen

By replacing a solid exterior door with a single French door, they made the space feel larger and added natural light.
