Kitchen Lighting Ideas

An elaborate chandelier in your kitchen is bold and very sophisticated. This type of lighting is not typically found in kitchens but creates a bold statement. Chandeliers can be hung at varying heights so you can adjust the fixture accordingly. A glass chandelier will sparkle at night and create a warm glow above your kitchen dining table. You can also install a dimmer to adjust the levels of light.

Accent lighting, such as track lighting, can be a stylish and functional addition to any kitchen. Most track lighting is adjustable so you can direct the light onto your kitchen dining surface. The designs of the base are especially attractive in kitchens where style and function create the perfect combination. Track lighting is also affordable and comes in various designs so you can match the fixture to your kitchen. You can also find track lighting that incorporates a pot rack, which is a great way to save space.

Pendant lights bring in a good deal of light, as well as a beautiful design element to your kitchen. You can find pendant lights in every color, material, and shape which is perfect for matching to your existing design palette. Lantern pendants function well to cascade light into a room while at the same time bringing in an attractive design. Consider installing a glass pendant with bronze details to keep the kitchen bright. Bronze finishes look clean and sophisticated in kitchens and look attractive when hung in sets of two or three over your kitchen table. You can adjust their height as well, which is essential for creating a cascading effect. Another distinct design for a pendant are the over-sized types. Above an island they create a focal point to the room and can light up even the darkest kitchens. They are also bright and inviting as well as bold and dramatic.

Typically you don't see ceiling fans in kitchen dining areas, but these fixtures can create bright lighting for your kitchen table while cooling you down. The light is installed in the middle of the fan and works in conjunction to cool your space and provide light. You can also choose between settings if you wish to have the fan on without the light, and vise versa. Ceiling fans are inviting and can create a cozy and cool kitchen dining space.
