The kitchen

The kitchen is the focal point in most homes, where proper lighting can make all the difference. Let’s explore how you can transform your kitchen with great lighting choices that are both functional and stylish.

To achieve a perfectly lit kitchen, consider a layered lighting approach. Combining different types of lighting ensures that every corner is well-lit and your space is as functional as beautiful. Good lighting not only enhances the functionality of your kitchen but also elevates its style and comfort. By thoughtfully layering your lighting and choosing the right fixtures and bulbs, you can create a culinary space that’s perfectly lit for every occasion.

 

Primary Lighting

Primary lighting is your main light source, providing overall illumination for the room. Ceiling fixtures with opal glass, such as recessed lights, chandeliers, or flush mounts, create a warm, inviting atmosphere and ensure the kitchen has a great all-around light.

Task Lighting

Directional task lighting is essential in zones where you carry out specific tasks, such as chopping vegetables or reading recipes. Wall lights, pendant lights over the island, and focused track lighting help you see clearly and work safely.

Mood-creating Lighting

Mood-creating lighting adds depth and dimension, highlighting architectural features, decor, and cabinetry. Use dimmable and decorative wall lamps to showcase your kitchen's unique elements and to set the mood for any occasion.
