Kitchen lighting ideas and kitchen design lights

Of course, a light mounted in the center of the ceiling is not enough because it causes shadows when you are standing towards the task boards and also you cannot create special ambient lighting with it.

In this article, we will give you an overview of all the different lights you can use inside your kitchen that could improve your kitchen lighting. For each type of lighting fixture, we will also recommend some designer lights to show how they will underline your personal kitchen style with a unique look.

Let’s start with uniform lighting in your kitchen first. Typically, we have kitchen cabinets, a kitchen island, and a dining area inside our kitchen. Instead of a ceiling fixture in the center of the ceiling, it is much more convenient to install four or six built-in cans. The Fabbian Beluga Crystal F01, for example, has a 360 ° movable lamp head so that light can be easily directed where you need it.

But not all of us have the possibility to change the existing electric power lines in your home. You may want to view the track lighting fixtures as an alternative. Those just need a finish, but they have plenty of turn signals that can be placed anywhere along the track. Rail accessories are available in various sizes, colors, and shapes (U-shaped rail accessories may be the best choice for large kitchens). Additionally, there are two different types of rail systems: low voltage rail lights and line voltage rail lights. The first comes along with a transformer; the latter has none and can be applied to the source line voltage. The Fabbian Beluga lighting family also offers contemporary track lighting fixtures.

Most families prefer pendant lamps on the dining room table or kitchen island. One of this year’s lighting trends follows that pattern and includes oversized dome-shaped pendant lights. From Flos Skygarten, Alt Lucialternative Coupole S, Marset Olivia, Artemide Nur, Aureliano Toso Bow, Terzani Magdalena 50, Prandina Biluna to Catellani & Smith Stchu-Moon: many lighting designers prefer the elegant hemispherical shade with restricted reflections in the material used or the visible inner shadow.

These large pendant lamps create a special atmosphere, warm and bright inside your kitchen. But, on the other hand, they prevent the view of your kitchen cabinet. Some Designer Lighting has already considered this problem and created pendant lamps with shallow shades. The Alt Lucialternative Infinity pendant light, for example, has a unique modern design that reminds me of a trifoliate cloverleaf. The outer lampshade is alternatively made of black or white metal, the interior is made of Acryl and has a spiral appearance. The Metalarte Zero moderate pendant lamp is also suitable for kitchens with modern furniture. It provides bright ambient lighting and its proportions convey the impression of a UFO. The Prandina Extra S1 / 3 pendant lamp consists of two curved shells, the one shown above reflects the ambiance of the room, while the one below it emits direct lighting.

The possibilities in lighting design seem endless. Take your time and be enchanted by the unique look of modern and contemporary designer lighting.
