When it comes to creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere in your home, lighting is key. By combining different types of lighting, you can highlight the unique features of your space while ensuring it remains functional and inviting. We have done our best here to inspire you, breaking down kitchen lighting into three parts, this guide will help you on your way:
1. Ceiling fixtures: an important layer of your lighting scheme is ambient lighting, which provides a soft overall glow to your rooms. This can come from ceiling fixtures. A main source of light that fills the space, creating a comfortable baseline. See our prismatic and factory.
2. Task Lighting: task lighting, which focuses on specific areas where activities like cooking, social gatherings or working take place. Table lamps and pendant lamps offer excellent choices for task lighting. Make sure to position them at appropriate heights to ensure they provide ample light without causing glare. See our Rocco pendants here
3. Accent Lighting: Once you have your ceiling and task lighting, it’s important to add a statement with accent lighting where the light fitting itself is the object of beauty, interest and detail. This type of lighting is intended to showcase artwork, architectural details, or decorative elements in your space. Accent lighting not only beautifies but also adds depth to your environment. See the Rocco , sconce, and Fusion range.
Tip: Consider mixing different types of fixtures and bulb temperatures to create a harmonious blend. Warm tones, reminiscent of candlelight, evokes a sense of relaxation and coziness, while Cooler tones create a more energised workspace. Experiment with different tones to suit your environment.
Layering your lighting can significantly enhance the functionality and aesthetics of your home. By thoughtfully combining ambient, task, and accent lighting, you’ll create a space that not only looks great but feels just right.
