Decorative and architectural lighting: items to inspire you.

Lighting is usually underrated at home, even the kitchen. We focus on choosing furnishings, accessories, and appliances; and then, once we’ve put on our cooking apron, realize that there isn’t enough light or that it’s not quite right.

LIGHTING UP A MODERN KITCHEN

Cooking is a religion in Italy, as well as having lunch or dinner in good company. Correct lighting should serve to help prepare dishes and help check on food while it’s being cooked; however it should also be atmospheric, to create the right ambiance for sitting at the table and spending precious time together.

Which are the right lights to use? It depends on the way that you live in your kitchen and on the room’s features. Do you cook a lot and spend lots of time in the kitchen? Is your dining table also in the same room? Does it have an separate island from your main cooking area? Here is some basic advice to help you decide on your kitchen lighting:
– The ceiling lamp is important, don’t skimp on its brightness.
– Consider where you will need your lights to be located, usually adjustable spotlights, so that your main work areas are well lit.
– If required, you can add further lighting under hanging kitchen cabinets and range hoods or on work surfaces.
– If your kitchen has a separate island, you can take advantage of it to create a lovely focal point for the room.
– If the dining table is in the same room, then table, wall, and floor lamps can be used to make a more relaxing atmosphere.

OUR LIGHTING ADVICE FOR THE HOME KITCHEN

Hanging lamps are the top choice of architects. To use this type of lamp, you must consider the lamp’s minimum height, which regulations require to be 2.4m from the floor, including cable. This height helps limit the amount of glare, while also helping to ensure that table and kitchen worktops are well lit.

Keeping this requirement in mind, aesthetic quality can be maintained without losing out on the amount of functional illumination. Here are some concrete examples of applications:
