It has been proven over time that the kitchen is one of the nerve centers of the home: some studies show that up to 48% of the population spends between two and four hours in it. Not only the numbers speak of it: the appliances or the changes in trends in decoration confirm that the design of the kitchen is increasingly important. Also the surfaces: shouldn't you choose the right one to work on? And once you have opted for the best, lighting plays a key role in the final perception of this room. Let lamps and ceiling lights help you.
1 Different environments, different lighting
By carefully selecting the main components of a kitchen and making the right decisions to light them, you can create a stunning interior. On many occasions, countertops go unnoticed in this process, completely forgetting that they are the main support and support element. You can choose many materials and styles. Depending on them, you can choose the lamps you need to achieve a greater sensation of spaciousness or even three-dimensionality.
2 How would you light a granite countertop?
Granite is a timeless classic in the kitchen. It is usually a general choice due to its resistance and durability. Its useful life is guaranteed for many years by following a series of basic maintenance tips. For example, you cannot use abrasive products to clean them. How to create a perfect environment thanks to light? Correctly lighting this work area is essential and the view appreciates it. Having direct light on it is key. Of course, it can be combined with other complementary points or a main light for the entire kitchen. Some LED ceiling lights suspended above an island countertop contribute to creating warm tones. The master touch is achieved by fusing the light they emit with the metallic tones that both the lamp itself and some accessories close to the countertop can have.
3 Black or white countertops
Choosing black or white for the countertops or the general design of the kitchen is a commitment to elegance. In fact, it is possible to combine both options by choosing, for example, black for countertops or islands and white for the wall and other more predominant elements. In any case, both options require adequate lighting to get the most out of them. White, on the one hand, has always been a color closely associated with the kitchen. It gives it a clean and elegant appearance, in addition to achieving a very natural luminosity on its own. If you choose LED lamps for zoned lighting, use bulbs with warm tones to combine with the 'cold' that this color usually conveys. What if you choose a dark kitchen countertop? It is a color that has joined the list of trends. In the case of a kitchen where black predominates, the main recommendation is to place LED lamps with prominently white light. Sharp and high luminosity to create interesting contrasts.
4 A kitchen where wood predominates
Wooden countertops are not easy to see. But the fact that they are not the most common option does not make them less attractive. Well cared for (they usually need several layers of varnish) they are a perfect complement to the kitchen decoration, creating a totally different atmosphere than what most people are used to. By equipping the space with LED lamps and white light bulbs you will be creating a calm and elegant atmosphere for the kitchen. On the other hand, if the choice of a wooden countertop has been made with the intention of giving the room a rustic touch, the recommendation will be the opposite: combine it with somewhat warmer lighting.
5 More recommendations for lighting the countertop and kitchen
Create differentiated areas of light to relax the eyes and give a greater feeling of spaciousness. In addition to lamps, recessed LED spotlights or LED Downlights help create uniform light. Think about lighting accessory points. For example, tall modules. They are perfect corners for zoning. There are no limits to creativity. Sally Storey, design director at John Cullen, recommends - for example - also placing lights under the countertop to simulate that they float. The minimum light opening should be about 60º degrees to illuminate everything. LED ceiling lamps help create a kind of "virtual divisions" of the kitchen space. Use them without fear
