Kitchen Lights - How to Choose the Best Model

Lighting formats on the kitchen are diverse, so we believe there is always a suitable option for any interior. It should be remembered that electrical installations and plastering, as well as necessary support depending on the size of the accessory, must be taken into account.

What Is the Ideal Light for the Kitchen?

Choosing the right light fixture in the kitchen is important for functionality and appearance of the space. After all, this is where many activities take place: cooking, eating and spending time with friends and family. To choose the ideal light fixture for a kitchen, it is necessary to consider overall lighting of the space and specific task lighting in work areas such as sink, stove and countertops.

The material of the light fixture is also an important factor to consider. Metallic fixtures are universal and easy to clean, glass ones create a feeling of lightness and spaciousness. Wooden fixtures add rustic and cozy style to the kitchen, while ceramic ones bring modernity and brightness.

Types of Kitchen Lighting

This is the first option for general lighting in a kitchen. It is usually placed in the center of the ceiling and can be round, rectangular or disc-shaped. For kitchens with low ceilings, it is recommended to choose lights with a low profile height to avoid reducing the room's perceived height.

Recessed lightPinterest

These are ideal models for lighting specific areas of the kitchen, such as countertops, dining tables or islands. There are many models available in dome, sphere and even bold designs with abstract and modern forms. Recessed lights can also be installed together to create an interesting effect and increase lighting in a specific area.

Light rails are another excellent option for functional and stylish kitchen lighting. Individual approach allows choosing the number of fixtures and their placement. Another advantage of this model is ease of installation, meaning no new holes need to be drilled in the ceiling and adaptation to various types of ceilings and heights is possible.
