Stunning Modern Kitchen Lighting for Stylish Illumination

Astounding Contemporary Kitchen with Modern Kitchen Lighting Furnished with Island and Completed with Sink

Both traditional and modern kitchen lighting should have functionality as the main priority. After all, remember that your kitchen is probably where you spend the most time. It goes without saying that your kitchen serves as a work space where you can prep and cook homemade meals for your family, even to serve to your guests. In addition to this, you may also want your kitchen to be an alternative to gathering space in your home.

Therefore, when you are planning for your kitchen lighting and shopping for modern kitchen lighting fixtures, always remember to layer the lighting to meet all the aforementioned purposes. Basically, remember that there are 3 general types of lighting that your kitchen—and any room in general—should have; general or ambient lighting, task lighting, and decorative or accent lighting. Each of these have different purposes and they can help you create a comfortable and inviting kitchen.

Ambient or general lighting is usually installed in form of ceiling light fixtures. Aside from the flush-mount and semi-flush mount, you may also consider installing a series of recessed ceiling lights throughout the kitchen to enhance the lighting. As for task lighting in kitchen, pendant lamps are the most popular option. They are typically attractive and have a decorative design that you can optimize to create a focal point in the room. Pendants usually are installed above a kitchen island. There is also under-cabinet lighting which provides illumination for cabinets below the counter-tops.

Accent or decorative lighting is usually for aesthetic purposes. If you have something you want to highlight in your kitchen decor such as a wall decoration you can create a great visual attraction using lighting. Colorful LED strips and wall sconces are the most common examples of modern kitchen island lighting fixtures for decorative purposes.
