Enhance the lighting

Being rented, you cannot open windows, or throw partitions to join the kitchen to the living room and create an open and bright space, nor open doors to put wiring to put more light points. But you can renew and enhance the lighting, well changing the ceiling lamps, or installing LED strips under the cabinets that cover the work surface.
