Kitchen Lighting - Kitchen Lights

The kitchen is often the heart of the home and is an area of multi-functional use where a variety of activities take place. You may use your kitchen for preparing food and cooking food but it may also be used as a kitchen/diner where you entertain friends and perhaps an area where the children do their homework.

With the trend of open plan kitchen and dining areas the kitchen lighting should be every bit as good as the lighting in the rest of home – if not better.

Because of the variety of uses of the kitchen it is important to use efficient and effective lighting. You will want to use lighting that is bright and clean and you enabling you to see what you are doing without shadows and haziness.

Whatever you're looking for to use as kitchen lighting hopefully you will find it within these pages.

Kitchen Lighting

You have just had a new kitchen installed, new appliances, beautiful worktops, attractive cabinets, eye-catching wall tiles, expensive floor tiles with under floor heating… Yet you still feel something is missing…

We have many customers who come to us AFTER the kitchen has been built complaining how they cannot see properly whilst preparing food because their existing lighting is insufficient or, more commonly, it’s causing shadows. So many people overlook one of the most important part of a kitchen design – the KITCHEN LIGHTING!

In fact, improving your kitchen lighting can have a more positive effect on the ambiance of your kitchen than any of the aforementioned items. It’s unfortunate that many people overlook their kitchen lighting, focusing instead on their taps or their worktops. What good are these things if they are not shown off properly, with the right kitchen lighting?

There are three main types of lighting you should consider for your kitchen and a combination of lighting is both useful and beautiful for different reasons – the best way to show off a room like your kitchen is to use multiple types of light fittings. Try not to limit it to just one!

Ambient Kitchen Lighting


This is general lighting which should be used for your whole kitchen area. You may wish to use a single pendant (or a group of say three) over your kitchen breakfast bar or table to create an ambient lighting mood. Not only will the lights be practical but there are many stunning designs which can bring together the whole design of your kitchen.

Kitchen Task Lighting


Task lighting is more focused lighting. You will want to use task lighting over your sink, cooker or other food preparation areas so that you can see what you are doing. You may want to consider downlights, track lighting, under cabinet lighting.

Accent Kitchen Lighting


Accent lighting is used to highlight features of your kitchen - cabinets, cooker alcoves, or art work for example. Down lights or wall lights can be used plus there are many different shelf lights which can add a real wow factor to your kitchen.

Use under cabinet lighting, kitchen island lighting, pendant lighting, side by side other types of contemporary kitchen lighting. You may be surprised at how much you can change the look and feel of your kitchen by simply changing the type of kitchen lighting that you use!

Whether you’ve spent the money on a brand new kitchen with new units and appliances or simply updated an existing kitchen isn’t it worth investing in new lighting to show it off?
