BLENDING STYLE AND FUNCTIONALITY IN A KITCHEN LIGHTING SCHEME
Kitchens are an integral part of any home . They are a place to entertain guests , enjoy cooking a delicious meal and spend time with family . A kitchen that looks great must also be functional , which makes a well conceived lighting scheme essential . There are some key ways to enhance your kitchen through lighting .
TIPS FOR PERFECT KITCHEN LIGHTING :
VERSATILITY
Lighting that can seamlessly transition from day to night , or from practical to aesthetic , helps create a multipurpose space . Including layers of lighting is key to achieving a flexible and interesting lighting scheme . Think about which circuits should be dimmable to help set the right mood for the space . This way , you have the ability to switch between task lighting for food prep and intimate illumination for dining .
COMBINE FUNCTION WITH BEAUTY
Where you don ’ t have wall cabinets , wall lights over the countertop create an excellent visual feature and provide task lighting . Similarly , pendant lights over a kitchen island or table provide a stylish focal point and ensure the space can be fully utilised . Gaps and dark areas in the overall scheme can then be filled using dimmable trimless recessed downlights , but always be mindful of colour temperature to avoid stark , cold light .
FUTURE PROOFING
Does your lighting stand the test of time ? Love the look of your space for longer by incorporating high-quality , serviceable , timeless fittings to your kitchen . As styles change , it ’ s easy to fall into the trap of constantly wanting to update your scheme .
