pendants and under-cabinet lighting , and incabinet accent lighting provide the best solution for multiuse spaces . You should also take natural light sources into consideration as well .

Flooring is another crucial component in kitchen design . Porcelain tile , hardwood and luxury vinyl are the most common choices . The floor will have a large visual impact on the look of the space , so try to choose a finish that complements your cabinetry . Also take durability into mind — the floor must be able to withstand heavy foot traffic , pets and any potential spills .
