Comfortable cork tile in San Francisco. Tongue and groove cork planks, finished with a simple clear stain, line the floors of this historic Queen Anne kitchen. Not only does this material feel great underfoot, but it also patinates beautifully, which will add to this 120-year-old kitchen's storied feel.
Lighting Knowledge: If you want the room to mimic daylight, the ALA recommends using a bulb rated 4,000 Kelvin or higher. (The Kelvin, or K, rating describes how visually warm or cool a light is.) The higher the K rating, the cooler or bluer the light appears. The Color Rendering Index (CRI) is the second important number. A higher CRI is optimum. For example, 100 CRI mimics natural light and is perfect for highlighting skin tones and clothing. CFLs and LEDs usually have ratings in the 80s and are usually less flattering light sources.
