How do you choose your kitchen lighting ?
Correct lighting is essential for a warm ambience in your kitchen. But how do you know what kind of lighting to favour? What type of lamps and lights does your kitchen need? Check out our tips and tricks to answer these questions.
There are three main points to consider when selecting your kitchen lights: brightness, design and energy efficiency. Whether you prefer chandeliers, ceiling lights or wall lamps, these three questions are a big help when creating a unique ambience.
How bright ?
A kitchen will require different levels of brightness. The areas where you cook, namely the hobs, the sink or even the worktop, require brighter LED lighting, while atmospheric lighting may suffice for the island or dining table areas.
What design for your kitchen lamps and lighting ?
Whether it has an industrial, rustic, Scandinavian or even contemporary design, your kitchen deserves lamps that match your interior design. You should therefore strive for consistency and harmony. An on-trend example? Matte-black metal suspended lighting to nicely complement a bistro-style kitchen.
How to reduce energy costs ?
Even though your kitchen lighting is obviously not the main cause of energy costs, even small actions will have an impact! When choosing the type of interior lighting that you want, consider the different criteria that can allow you to save energy: LEDs and the associated low-consumption bulbs, for example. Another criterion is the distribution of your lighting sources, which means you don’t always have to turn on everything to cook.

LED spotlights
Recessed spotlights are widely recommended for lighting under kitchen cabinets. Thanks to their intense brightness, they are ideal for illuminating worktops. Recessed spotlights are also suitable for ceilings.
LED ribbon lighting
Ribbons of LED lights can be used to decorate cabinets, drawers, niches, plinths and more. While their role is primarily decorative, they make it possible to add a pretty mood lighting to your kitchen.
Pendant lamps for the kitchen
Suspended lighting is also very on-trend. Pendant lamps are primarily used as the main lighting above the dining table, bar, kitchen island, and so on. Their strength lies in the charm that they add to your kitchen.
Dimmer switch: Emotion Light
An Emotion Light device allows you to control the intensity of your lighting with a simple remote. In the blink of an eye, you can decide if you need white light or warm lighting. Quick and easy to use, this is a good compromise for managing brightness.
