4 lighting options to illuminate your kitchen
A well-planned kitchen lighting scheme has the power to transform an ordinary kitchen into something sublime; one which sets the mood for cooking, eating and entertaining. And with new properties becoming smaller and smaller due to the island’s limited space, we have seen a rising trend in rooms becoming multi-functional.
This requires adjusting the lighting plan to cater for dining, relaxing, entertaining and office space, and if positioned strategically, lighting can make a small kitchen appear larger or compensate for poor natural light. The professionals at Carmelo Delia, providers of furniture in Malta, have shared some types of lighting available to create the kitchen of your dreams:
1. Task lighting
Task Lighting refers to the brightest lights, which target the main working areas such as the worktop, cooker and sink. There are lots of variations to choose from: small, compact fluorescents or LED lights, and as many options of where to place or mount them. They can move, swivel and rotate.
2. Mood lighting
For mood lighting, the first step should be determining how much natural light comes into your kitchen, noting the number of windows and the direction in which they face. To create mood lighting in relaxing zones, try wall lights and washers, which add subtle background illumination. It may also be worth considering dimmable wall lights that are controlled separately to allow you to adjust the room’s ambience at the flick of a switch.
3. Accent lighting
Other than increasing the overall light level of the room, accent lighting adds another layer to your scheme and can guide the eye towards points of interest around the space. Accent lighting can be placed on shelving, in cupboards or niches. When lights are built into the base of a central island, the gentle wash of light across the floor gives the illusion that the cabinetry is floating.
4. Feature lighting
Feature lighting often refers to the fitting itself, which makes a statement whether on or off. While they may also incidentally be functional, their main job is to stand (or hang) there and look pretty. They serve as a great way of highlighting architectural focal points. Pendant Lighting is one such example. The kitchen island pendant can be the jewellery of the kitchen as it makes for a beautiful statement piece. Often placed above dining tables to help differentiate the dining space from the kitchen’s work zones, the best part about pendant lighting is that they come in a range of styles - from industrial in copper to striking, translucent ceramics.
Our top tip: the best time to install a new lighting scheme is during the planning stage, as doing so later may limit your possibilities. At Carmelo Delia, we are proud to stock Cucine Lube kitchens and Creo kitchens in Malta, among our wide range of furniture, which, when paired with the right lighting, will make for a kitchen that looks like it’s straight out of an interior design magazine.
