Kitchen Lighting Ideas

Kitchen Lighting.

The kitchen is often the heart of a home. It’s where we gather, chat, eat, and enjoy each other’s company. In fact, a study conducted at the University of California found that American families spend 68% of their time either in the kitchen or in front of a television. And if you’ve ever hosted an event in your home, you know that people tend to naturally congregate in the kitchen.

Types of Kitchen Lighting

Because so many of life’s important moments occur in the kitchen, a house deserves to have a comfortable, functional, and well-lit kitchen. There are three main types of lighting: general, task, and accent. These three lighting types should always coordinate with each other in a home’s kitchen.

Here’s how to do it with style and function in mind.

Recessed/Can Lighting

Recessed Kitchen Lighting.General lights provide overall illumination for a room. For the best lighting for kitchen ceilings, you can’t go wrong with recessed or can lights. This kind of light stays out of the way of ceiling fans and other light fixtures while offering even, dimmable light throughout the room. And because they’re virtually invisible, can lights work with any style of kitchen décor.

Undercabinet Lighting

Under Cabinet Lighting.General lights provide overall illumination for a room. For the best lighting for kitchen ceilings, you can’t go wrong with recessed or can lights. This kind of light stays out of the way of ceiling fans and other light fixtures while offering even, dimmable light throughout the room. And because they’re virtually invisible, can lights work with any style of kitchen décor.

Pendant Lights

Kitchen Pendant Lighting.The range of pendant lights on the market today is diverse and exciting. To enhance the feel and function of the center of your home, consider adding a stylish pendant light above the kitchen island. If the kitchen features a breakfast nook or dining bar, these are additional spots where a dimmable pendant light will highlight these gathering areas. A well-chosen pendant light will enhance the space, provide a focal point, and illuminate surfaces for meals, card games, and homework sessions. The best light bulbs for kitchen pendants are dimmable LED bulbs.
