Kitchen lighting
Stylish lighting design transforms your kitchen into the heart of the home
We turn your kitchen into an inviting and functional space by striking the perfect balance between task and ambient lighting. Our curated collection of designer lighting includes a wide range of options—from recessed spotlights and LED strips to pendant and wall lamps in various styles. With a custom lighting plan, we create a harmonious design that seamlessly complements your interior. The result: a kitchen that's perfect for gathering and enjoying time together.
Task lighting in the kitchen
Effective task lighting is essential in the kitchen to ensure safe and comfortable cooking. Key areas such as countertops, kitchen islands, and cutting boards require dedicated lighting to prevent shadows during food preparation. Recessed spotlights providing at least 500 lux above the work surface ensure you can see every detail while slicing and cooking. LED strip lighting installed under wall cabinets offers an ideal solution to evenly illuminate the countertop without casting disruptive shadows. For kitchen islands, we recommend adjustable spotlights that direct light exactly where it's needed. This type of functional lighting forms the foundation of any well-lit kitchen, making cooking not only safer but also more enjoyable—any time of day.
From cooking to dining: the role of ambient lighting
Today's kitchen is much more than just a space for cooking—it's the heart of the home, a place where family and friends come together. Ambient lighting plays a key role in transforming the kitchen from a functional workspace into a welcoming gathering spot. Pendant lights above the dining table or kitchen island create a warm, inviting atmosphere that's perfect for dining and conversation. Dimmable lighting is essential, allowing you to adjust brightness to suit the moment: brighter for cooking, softer and warmer for meals. Wall lights and indirect lighting add additional layers of ambiance, contributing to a relaxed and cozy environment. By thoughtfully combining task and ambient lighting, you create a versatile kitchen space that effortlessly adapts to your daily rhythm.
Different lighting types for every kitchen zone
Each zone in your kitchen has specific lighting needs that are best met by using a variety of fixtures. Ceiling lights provide general illumination for the entire room, while recessed spotlights deliver focused light for work areas. Surface-mounted spotlights are an excellent alternative when recessed installation isn’t possible, offering the same functionality with a contemporary look. LED strips are the ultimate concealed lighting solution, seamlessly integrating into cabinetry and niches—ideal for a clean, minimalist aesthetic. Wall lights add character and can be both decorative and functional, especially when paired with open shelving or used as accent lighting. Pendant lights above kitchen islands or dining tables act as eye-catchers, helping to define the kitchen’s overall style. A smart combination of these lighting types results in a layered lighting plan that is both practical and visually appealing.
Practical considerations for kitchen lighting
When selecting kitchen lighting, it's important to consider a few key practical aspects. The IP rating of fixtures determines their suitability for humid environments. We recommend a minimum of IP44 in areas exposed to splashes, such as near sinks and cooktops. Heat resistance is also crucial for lighting near stovetops and ovens, where temperatures can rise significantly. LED lighting is ideal for kitchens—not only is it energy-efficient and long-lasting, but it also produces less heat than traditional bulbs. Maintenance is another important factor; kitchen fixtures are prone to grease and cooking vapors, so choose models that are easy to clean. Don’t overlook color temperature: warm white light (2700–3000K) creates a cozy ambiance, while daylight white (4000K) is better suited for task lighting. Taking these factors into account ensures your kitchen lighting remains effective and reliable for years to come.
