The kitchen is usually the most difficult part of a house, so we thought we could help you with some lighting tips. Lighting your doesn’t need to be a complex matter, but it is layered. “The most common mistake people make is trying to light their entire kitchen with one fixture centered in the ceiling,” says Randall Whitehead, a well-known lighting designer. But to look its best and function well, a kitchen must be properly light up, and that involves more than just specifying stylish fixtures. A good plan blends lighting into the architectural and decorative details of the room. Now, go get a pen and paper and start taking notes. You can thank us later!

Best Kitchen Lighting Plan

For us, the most effective for the kitchen involves four layers blended together: task, ambient, accent and decorative lighting. The end result: a warm and inviting environment that works with your other design elements to create a practical workspace and lively entertainment area.

Task Lighting

Task lighting is what people think of first when designing a lighting system in the because it’s integral to preparing food. However, if task lighting is misplaced it can actually hinder your ability to work efficiently, throwing shadows on your workspace. The key locations for task lighting include underneath the overhead cabinets and over the island — anywhere you’ll be chopping, slicing and reading recipes. The pantry is another place where you’ll want bright, focused lighting.

Under-Cabinet Lighting

Under-cabinet lights can be a hidden asset in any kitchen, providing task lighting as well as soft ambient lighting to give the room a warm glow with the touch of a dimmer switch. Strip lights are a popular choice, long linear bulbs or a string of lights contained in a single fixture. This is not only practical but also makes your kitchen looks pretty cool.

Ambient Lighting

Ambient lighting is an important layer that is often overlooked in the kitchen. This indirect lighting is called the humanizing ingredient to any , said by us. It softens the lines and shadows on people’s faces and creates a warm inviting glow in the room. The kitchen used to be strictly for food preparation and children who were not to be seen or heard. Now, floor plans are more open and parties often flow from the living room through the dining room and into the kitchen. Here you can play with that will give life to your kitchen. Ambient lighting fixtures may include flush-mounted ceiling fixtures, a pendant hanging over the island and adjustable track lighting.

Accent Lighting

Accent lighting is the least common layer in the kitchen design, but it is becoming more common as people spend more time in the kitchen for casual entertaining, as we said before. You may want to hang a piece of artwork on the wall behind the breakfast table, or a tile splashback over the sink may be a decorative focal point. Occasionally, people opt for installing lighting inside glass cabinets to illuminate collections of china and glassware.

Accent Fixture Choices

Track lighting, up-lighters, directional eyeball lights, and wall sconces are all accent fixtures. We recommend recessed adjustable low voltage fixtures to highlight artwork.

Decorative Lighting

Decorative lighting should be considered in direct proportion to the size of your kitchen — the larger space, the greater importance chandeliers, hanging pendants, and other eye-catching fixtures play. Once again, if you’re going through mid-century modern homes style, decorative lighting is a great way to turn the space into the style you want to follow. This tip of is the most expensive element of your lighting scheme. If you’re on a tight budget, we recommend you installing the infrastructure for decorative lighting and then, purchasing the actual fixture down the road.
