Kitchen floor plans and lighting design are always unique, and no one uses your kitchen the way you do. The technique of layering light applies to overhead fixtures combined with recessed lighting, under-cabinet lighting, and natural lighting to give you the level of illumination that works in your kitchen.
Here are six kitchen lighting basics for you to follow:
01
Layer Your Light
Every kitchen needs recessed lighting placed over the front edge of kitchen counters, so your lighting doesn't throw your own shadow into your tasks.
02
Brighten Your Workspace
Under-cabinet lighting directs light where you need it most. Choose slim fixtures with a built-in dimmer for added flexibility.
03
Make Your Island Shine
Have an island or table in your kitchen? Consider pendants, and more than one. Multiple pendants add light and style elements to any space.
04
Highlight Your Centerpiece
Small recessed can lights show off your pendants or chandelier while showering light directly down onto your tabletop or island.
05
Create a Gathering Spot
Not everyone has the luxury of a kitchen table. Do you have one? Make it a place you want to spend time with a beautiful chandelier or pendant.
06
Choose Comfortable Light
Diffusing the light beneath the fixture is soothing to the eyes when the surface below is used for tasks as well as dining.
