Kitchen Lighting Design Ideas

Remodeling your kitchen does not necessarily require a complete renovation. Simply changing the lighting in your kitchen can completely transform how it appears and operates. In case you’re not sure how to switch up your lighting, we’ve got some ideas for you, which will make you want to glam up your cooking space!

Why is picking the right lights for your kitchen important?

You can use lights in a variety of ways to create different effects. For example, warm white lights are typically used in kitchens to create a warm and cozy atmosphere. Similarly, you can use task lights to illuminate specific areas where you may be performing certain tasks such as chopping vegetables or cooking. Try incorporating different types of lighting for various purposes for an elegant presentation. Try incorporating distinct kinds of lights for diverse functions. Having a choice to control the lights independently allows you to create an atmospheric space in your kitchen, which transitions from cooking to dining and then relaxing.

AMBIENT LIGHTS: 

Use ambient lights, for illuminating the floor and walls of the kitchen. These luxurious lights will make it easier to enter, exit, or move around the space. Ambient lighting comes from different styles of ceiling designs such as recessed or surface lighting, pendant lights, or chandeliers. 

How to position ambient lights:

  • When installing a single semi-flush-mount or flush-mount fixture, chandelier, or lantern, position it directly above the island, or at the center of the ceiling if you don’t have an island.
  • When installing recessed lights, leave a distance between the lights equaling half the height of the ceiling (e.g., space lights 5 feet apart in a kitchen with a 10-foot ceiling). To avoid casting shadows on countertops, try to position recessed lights above countertops so they are set a few inches back from the front edge of the countertops.

TASK LIGHTS:

Task lights offer a variety of benefits, including increasing your comfort and efficiency during food preparation, cooking, and cleaning. They highlight a specific region like counters, sinks, and other work surfaces to increase precision while doing the task. Besides making your job easier to see, task lighting is pivotal for your eye health. Inadequate lighting can cause eye strain and lead to eye problems. More than a matter of aesthetics, brighter task lighting is necessary to work safely and comfortably.
