Today’s kitchens serve many purposes ranging from meal prep and cooking to entertaining friends and helping with schoolwork. A good lighting plan is essential in helping this multi-functional space truly shine while allowing the visibility necessary for all those tasks.

A good lighting design complements the architectural features in your kitchen such as your cabinets and your countertops. The most effective and attractive kitchen lighting designs include ambient lighting, task lighting and accent lighting.

Ambient Lighting

Ambient lighting will be your main source of light used in conjunction with natural light in the space. When it comes to ambient light sources for a kitchen, the kitchen size and ceiling height need to be considered as the bigger the kitchen or higher the ceiling, the more ambient light output is required. You will want to cast as much of the ambient light as evenly as possible from your ceiling using a combination of pendant lights, recessed lighting, suspension lighting, ceiling-mount fixtures, and more.

Task Lighting

Task lighting provides ample focused light where it is needed in order to complete common kitchen tasks safely. With task lighting, work surfaces and cabinetry are properly illuminated so you can safely prepare meals, read recipes, and easily spot ingredients on a shelf. Common kitchen task lighting options include strip lights, puck lights, under-cabinet lighting, over-sink lighting, and drawer lighting.

Accent Lighting

Accent lighting provides depth and helps to highlight architectural details or any and other points of interest in the kitchen, such as artwork or displays. Although accent lighting may cross over into ambient and task lighting, the right placement of accent lights can really help emphasize your favorite elements in the kitchen. Common kitchen accent light options include recessed lighting, glass cabinet lighting, open shelf lighting, and toe kick lights.
