How Bespoke Kitchen Lighting Can Transform Your Space

When designing your new kitchen, your top priority may be your appliances, worktops or even your cabinets, where these essential elements all come together to help you to create a practical space.

Importantly however, you should also consider your lighting placements, where these installations will contribute to the ambience and usability of your interior. Read on for a look at how different bespoke lighting options can transform your kitchen.



Vertical Lighting

If you’re working with a high-ceiling interior, then you can use bespoke lighting to optimise this space. Vertical hanging bulbs, lanterns or strip lights can emphasise the height of your kitchen ceiling, whilst contributing to the general brightness of the room. These fixtures can be selected to match the colour palette of your cabinets, handles or accents to create a cohesive feel.

Practical Illuminations

It is important to consider where lights will be placed in order to make everyday cooking tasks easier. Installing lights above the hob or around where you prepare food for instance can help to ensure that your space is both well lit and fully usable.

Atmospheric Spotlights

Spotlights create a powerful ambience wherever they’re placed, where they can be used in the kitchen to dispel dark spots or to enhance architectural features. Consider installing spotlights under cabinets or along your skirting boards to illuminate your space from top to bottom.

Dimmable Dining Lights

Many kitchens serve the combined purpose of food preparation and dining, particularly if your dining table is situated inside your kitchen space. You can install dimmable overhead lights to illuminate this area, where these can be adjusted according to the kind of mood you’d like to create.

Bespoke Lampshades

Although lampshades are usually associated with soft furnishings and relaxed living spaces, you can still make the design choice to install one in your kitchen. Amidst more practical lighting features, a decorative lampshade in the middle of the room can make for an attractive focal point, helping to dim harsh bulbs whilst keeping your space well lit.
