Your kitchen is the heart of your home. A kitchen is seldom just a place to cook, it is often a place for a catch up with a coffee or a homeworking hub. Your kitchen lighting installation needs to reflect these multiple functions.

Kitchen lighting design
When planning a kitchen lighting installation, you will have several areas to consider. To create a lighting design that is truly tailored to your needs, you will need to consider how you plan to use your kitchen. Will you be entertaining in the space and want softer lighting for this? Do your children like to do their homework in the kitchen whilst you are cooking dinner? Each task requires specific lighting and these can be incorporated into your overall design. An experienced kitchen lighting installation electrician will ask questions about your plans and help create a design that works for you. A clever kitchen lighting installation utilises three types of lighting to create a textured, layered effect. This allows you to change the level of lighting in your kitchen depending on the task at hand. The lighting types are:
Ambient Lighting
Ambient lighting is the main light in a room, controlled by the main light switch as you enter. In a functional area like a kitchen, it will generally be a bright central light source. Just because it is functional does not mean it cannot have style. There are many beautiful options for your ambient kitchen lighting installation. You can choose a light fitting that reflects your personal style and ties in with your overall lighting design.
Task Lighting
Task lighting in a kitchen lighting installation provides focused light where you need it most. When planning a kitchen lighting installation, it is important to consider all the ways you wish to use your space. This will help you to decide where task lighting will be most appropriately placed. If your children sit and complete their homework in one area, then brighter task lighting will be needed there. Undercounter lights to aid food prep are another example of task lighting.
Accent Lighting
In a kitchen lighting installation, accent lighting is used to highlight key features. Accent lighting helps to create mood and ambience in a lighting design. Accent lighting can be bright or diffuse, depending on its location. A spotlight on an architectural feature you wish to draw attention to will be bright and focused. Kitchen lighting mounted above cabinets or at floor level will be more diffuse to provide gentle background light.
