Kitchen lighting ideas

Task lighting is the trend in lighting design. It’s used to perform a task or specific purpose. You can use LED bulbs under your shelving. Gooseneck sconces fixtures add an elegant vintage touch and do the job well. Furthermore, task lights are softer than ceiling lights and are ideal for entertaining.

With some base lighting, your kitchen island will look trendier. If your kitchen does not have enough space for hanging lights to augment your kitchen island, then this is an excellent idea for some ambient lighting. Using diverse sources in the room to add to an overall lighting scheme creates a graceful, well-illuminated space.

LED lights provide excellent additions to your kitchen space and are best for highlighting specific kitchen areas. It is the perfect option for floating kitchen cabinetry or extended shelves that cast shadows on your benchtops if you only depend on lighting from above. Here, you can use LED strip lights under your shelving to highlight that space and pour extra light on your benchtop.

Track lights are perfect for highlighting a feature or covering a large kitchen area, and they are in the trend. They are available in diverse design styles offering different looks to the room. White, wood, or stainless steel fixtures would add a modern, Hampton’s style touch. In contrast, brass and black track lighting will add a more industrial vibe.

 If you find it challenging to find the light switch in the dark or want to save energy, you’ll love motion sensor lighting. These work well in pantries or cabinets and add an elegant touch to any kitchen. Furthermore, you can buy and install battery-powered versions as a DIY project.

Lighting that is flush with the wall creates a minimalist look. The wall appears more open here, and the lights are less featured. Thus, the aesthetic is sleek and neat, and the mount still adds colour to the concept.

 Exposed glass bulbs can add a warm, comfy touch to your kitchen. Amber-tinted glass shells pour outshining light from the bulbs, creating a warm atmosphere in the kitchen area. This option will suit a busy kitchen design or if you want to add a splash of personality to your new kitchen.

Adding a woven element to your kitchen lighting will work well if you already have natural wood materials. Light bulbs fitted inside a woven basket provide a softer, patterned light in the kitchen. White augments the woven style.

 Using hanging lights as the centre of attraction in your kitchen is a beautiful way to bring in elegance. A statement pendant light is often used as a feature over the island or dining table in traditional, industrial-style kitchens. With your pendant lighting, you can use black, stainless steel, or brass fixtures to reflect other decor items in the kitchen space. You can get creative with the light shade and pick something distinctive and appealing. For instance, big bulbs can make a significant impact. Statement lighting is an excellent way of harmonising the style of your new kitchen, be it a rustic, traditional, or sleek and contemporary design.

A majestic chandelier gives an appealing ambience to your kitchen space. Just like pendant lights, chandeliers make a statement and work well in modern kitchens. You can use glass or stainless steel chandeliers to strengthen the design style. A chandelier creates an elegant, trendy finish for your new kitchen. These appealing focal points ooze luxury, ideal for a modern statement piece.
