#Lighting Kitchen

Kitchen lighting - 100% the most important lighting in the home and I went DEEP into this one! As promised here are some details: In a space where you need it to be well lit, or cosy and intimate it really needs more than a builder grade downlight grid and instead, lots of layers. So what I landed on… Circuit 1 - surface mounted ceiling spotlights from @corstonarchitecturaldetail, these are angled onto the island for task lighting and onto some key cabinets. Circuit 2 - wall lights, and led lighting. Here I wanted to focus on the details, illuminate the corners and add draw the eye up. Circuit 3 - the island pendant lights from @jimlawrencemade. We hung these low to really make the island feel cosy at night. Circuit 4 - the dining table pendant light from @lighting_direct. …oh and they are all on dimmers. Pretty much a lighting combination for any time of the day 🙌🏼 Any other questions just drop them below, always happy to chat lighting 😂💡 #lightingdesign #kitchenlighting #kitchenpendants #kitchenisland

Lighting is not just a decor choice, it can literally shift your entire mood. As an easily overstimulated mom to young kids, I rely on warm, ambient lighting to soothe and calm my whole family in the evenings, especially after a long day of school, work, activities. The key is to layer in lighting with sconces, pendants, toe kicks, lamps, and even candles to create that cozy, wholesome atmosphere that makes everyone less on edge.

Lighting matters. ✨ Under cabinet lighting brings out the texture, adds warmth, and gives your kitchen that finished, high-end feel. It’s one of those small details that makes a big impact. #funtime #customcabinets #sillynameseriouscabinets #cabinetmaker #kitchengoals #premiumcabinetry #lighting #cabinetlighting

Selecting and hanging lighting in a kitchen is crucial for both functionality and aesthetics. Here are 6 key considerations: Layered Lighting Approach – Use a combination of ambient (general), task (focused), and accent (decorative) lighting to create a well-balanced and functional space. For example, recessed lights for overall illumination, pendant lights over an island for task lighting, and under-cabinet lights for accent and utility. Proper Height and Placement – Hang pendant lights 30–36 inches above a kitchen island or dining table for optimal illumination and visual balance. Recessed lights should be spaced about 4–6 feet apart, while under-cabinet lighting should be positioned toward the front of the cabinet to reduce shadows. Size and Scale – Ensure light fixtures are proportionate to the space. For example, oversized pendants can overwhelm a small kitchen, while fixtures that are too small may not provide sufficient illumination. A good rule for pendant lighting width over an island is to add the width of the island in inches and divide by three for ideal pendant size. Light Temperature and Brightness – Choose bulbs with a color temperature of 2700K–3000K for a warm, inviting glow, or 3500K–4000K for a bright, more neutral white. Use dimmable fixtures to adjust brightness for different times of the day and activities. Fixture Style and Finish – Select lighting that complements the kitchen’s design aesthetic. Modern kitchens benefit from sleek metallic or glass fixtures, while traditional kitchens pair well with warm brass, bronze, or vintage-inspired lighting. Functionality and Smart Features – Consider energy-efficient LED bulbs and smart lighting controls that allow you to adjust brightness and color temperature remotely. Motion-sensing or voice-activated lights add convenience and efficiency. #DallasInteriorDesign #DallasHomes #KitchenLighting #HomeDecorDallas #modernlighting

l i g h t i n g ✨ - I thought long and hard about all the lighting in our kitchen - infact i had sleepness nights just thinking about it! Getting lighting right in a space is so important. When i get chance i will make a reel about all the different types of lighting / zoning of areas we have. I do love all the LED lighting - we have it under the shelving and under the kitchen island. It works on a remote control and is also dimmable.

So, how would I light the kitchen? Well, every kitchen requires a unique lighting design, but here are a few things I may do and some I’d definitely do ⬇️ - I always light those benches and not the floors – because unless you’re chopping the veggies down there, well, you just don’t need to light them! - Add indirect light to soften hard edges, create a sense of space, and reduce shadowing on the work surfaces. - Maybe Integrate light into overhead cupboards or a stand-alone pantry. - Showcase the beautiful materials chosen for the kitchen. - Choose warm white light - as we prioritise visual comfort and functionality in all our kitchen designs. - I select quality light fittings with a focus on sustainability, efficiency, performance and of course, beautiful light.

Why we skipped pendant lights in our kitchen….Now don’t get me wrong, I love a good pendant light. But you have to design for your space. With our vaulted ceilings, adding them would have visually cluttered the space. We wanted the kitchen, dining, and living areas to feel open and connected. So instead, we let the chandeliers across our open concept great room stay the focal point. Sometimes what you don’t add is what makes a space feel more elevated. Would you add pendant lights here or skip them? #kitcheninspiration #kitchendesignideas #kitchenlighting #newbuildjourney #newbuilds
