Three Main points to light up the kitchen

The kitchen is the essential places in the home. The light in the kitchen room must meet two different moreover, not necessarily complementary requirements. On the other hand, light for the kitchen must be intense & energetic, that is to say, useful to the preparation of food. it must also be warm but not aggressive, to boost conviviality. The question, therefore, arises instinctively: how to light up the kitchen? Here are the main points to consider!

Kitchen lighting: what are the main points to install the light?

As is the case for all the kitchen rooms, optimal lighting is obtained by combining background light, indirect light, and functional light.

From this we can now deduce that the most suitable solution would be to use more lights in the kitchen room:

  • A hanging lamp for kitchen on the table
  • The LED spotlight above the wall units
  • Kitchen LED wall lamps or LED strips as indirect light.
  • LED strips or other suspensions for the kitchen as a complement to functional lighting

Dining table

The central areas are absolutely the table: a point where a suspended lamp should be lowered. The kitchen candelabra, if used mainly for the table, should have lights pointed downwards and be placed at the optimum height to illuminate the most of its entire surface. In that case, the suspension can be used as a functional light.

Kitchen candelabra is also used as the first light source as the table is located in the center of the kitchen. The dual function, which it performs, means that the chandelier must be acknowledged as the primary element from which to plan to light in the kitchen room!

How to light-up Kitchen using wall lamp?

Once the first light source is chosen, focus on the peripheral areas of the kitchen. That is to evade creating shaded areas that would create the room seem darker plus less livable.

For less lighted corners you can pick wall lights or even LED strip lights with a beam of light primarily aimed upwards.

Functional lighting for worktops

How to brighten a kitchen to perfection without acknowledging the various worktops? Impossible! When cooking, it is conventional to use the different flat surfaces to cut, knead, blend, etc. adequate light is needed to carry out all these actions: white, intense, and focused just where you are working.

But if the table is already well attended by the chandelier, it is not confirmed that the same thing also pertains to the tops of the kitchen cabinet, which are typically found at the ends of the room & in the shadows. In that case, we would need a dedicated light! For example, we can install LED strips under the cabinet of the piece of furniture, so that the whole area below is adequately lit.

For work surfaces such as islands & peninsulas, you can always choose suspensions, but soberer than the one placed on the table. Given the lack of space on the upper part of the island or the peninsula, one or more suspension lights are ideal for obtaining a primary light beam from the relative floors.

Kitchen ceiling lights

In some cases, although, the best solution could be to concentrate on a single light source capable of fulfilling all three needs. A ceiling light would be the clear choice If, you have a small kitchen room with low ceilings or you don't have the feasibility of modifying the electrical system,!

The kitchen ceiling light can be placed both in the area above the table, although also as a backlight, to lighten the entire room better. The kitchen ceiling lights, like the suspensions, are accessible in different styles, sizes, colors, and models. So you will undoubtedly have the chance to find the one you like most reliable, and that can fully indicate the style of the whole kitchen room.
