Lighting design for kitchens
Kitchen Cabinet Spotlight
Lighting under your cabinets provides you with perfect task lighting. However, under cabinet spotlights also can 'punch' through the ambient light of the room creating regular pools of light and giving you a similar effect to accent lighting.
Kitchen Strip Lighting
Strip lighting makes excellent task lighting as it produces a continuous unbroken light along the length of your worktops. It also can create subtle accent lighting by washing light down the splash back and is a good lighting layer to place on top of your room's ambient lighting.
Kitchen in-cabinet Lighting
Sometimes referred to as convenience lighting, in-cabinet lighting allows you to see and find exactly what you are looking for easily. There are a range of different styles of lighting for drawers and cabinets which can be automatically activated when the drawer or door is opened, either through an integral or additional sensor.
Kitchen Shelf Lighting
If you have open or glass-fronted cabinets, using specialist shelf lighting units can create stunning accent lighting effects. Its a perfect way to showcase decorative items in your cabinet. The addition of illuminated shelves is also a great way to add a touch of drama to your kitchen walls.
Kitchen Over Cabinet Lighting
Great for additional ambient light. Creates washes of diffused light across cabinets and vertical surfaces. LED tape is also great for accent lighting projecting light up walls and ceilings.
Kitchen Plinth Lighting
Often overlooked as an area for lighting, plinth lighting creates very dramatic accent lighting accentuating the shape of the room especially round islands and floating worktops. Tape gives you a flexible solution ideal for organic shapes and coloured tape can provide you with endless mood changing possibilities.
Kitchen ceiling lighting
Fixed down lighting is usually your main ambient lighting - the canvas on which you layer other lighting. The kitchen has many functions, so consider dimming and zoning the ceiling lighting to change the ambience easily and us the space simultaneously for different functions. Baffled lighting helps control any glare and you can use tilt lighting in a similar way to accent lighting by highlighting specific areas or objects.
