Task Lighting - Ceiling Lights

When Lighting your kitchen, you will find three main lighting options: your first main light to consider will be task lighting, this will be your main source of light centered to the room allowing a full illumination of the space.

Task lighting - Downlights (Recessed Lights)

Downlights, or recessed lights, are a sleek and efficient choice for kitchen task lighting, casting a focused glow directly onto work surfaces without cluttering the ceiling. Perfectly positioned over counters and islands, they ensure every chop and stir is done under clear, shadow-free illumination, enhancing both safety and functionality in the heart of your home.

Accent Lighting

Our second lighting solution will be accent lighting - create a dramatic touch of elegance by placing additional downlights into your glass cabinet’s.

Placing these on a separate switch will not only highlight items displayed but will serve as background lighting creating depth to your space as well as serve as mood lighting when entertaining.

Should you want to create a more layered affect adding a few under-counter lights can create a statement and assist in additional task & accent lighting.

Ambient Lighting
