The Big, THE SMALL, THE NATURAL
When it comes to high-end kitchen design, lighting isn’t just about being able to see your toast in the morning. It’s about layering.
A functional, inviting kitchen relies on the perfect trifecta of light: the big, the small, and the natural.
Here’s how you can balance the three to create a space that’s as practical as it is Pinterest-worthy.
1. THE Big Lights
Also known as overhead lighting. But unlike the big light vs small light debate in the lounge, there are functional benefits in the kitchen. Pendant lights above your cooking, cleaning, or island space are known as task lights – these lights reduce shadows to make food prep a doddle.
Where possible, fit dimmer switches to set the mood.
Trust us, they’re a game changer.
2. THE SMALl LIGHTS
The secret sauce… LED strips makes your cabinetry glow – pasta never looked so good. LED lights are ideal for drinks cupboards, glassware or dinnerware.
Mounted wall lights and decorative lamps add ambience to the dining area in your kitchen. Pick warm lights to make the space feel calm.
3. THE NATURAL LIGHT
Natural light is your kitchens best friend. It makes your kitchen feel bigger, makes colours pop, and it’s the best way to start your day.
If you’re designing your kitchen, consider investing in skylight windows and large picture windows. They’re distinct, intentional, and direct light into the darker areas of your space. You won’t regret it.
