The energy efficiency and the wide range of designs allow everyone to find their perfect kitchen lighting.

Advantages of LED Lighting

LED lighting is a reliable choice when looking to update your kitchen and a popular option for homeowners. With energy-saving and long-lasting technology, you can illuminate your home in style for years to come. But that is not all. LED technology caters to every need, allowing you to create personalised settings and discover your ideal kitchen lighting.

 

Colour Temperature is a principal feature of LED lighting, allowing you to find the perfect lighting tones. We measure LED colour temperature through Kelvins, a scale that refers to the coolness or warmth of light. The higher the Kelvin, which range from 1,000k to 10,000k the cooler the light.

 

LED lighting is optimal for the kitchen due to its wide range of features. Lighting tones drastically affect our mood and headspace, and we must find the correct lighting temperature for the task. We recommend that your kitchen lighting is between 3000k and 4000k to create the ideal lighting when preparing food. You want to create a bright space to keep you alert. However, any cooler will most likely provide an unappealing colour tone for your food. Once the cooking is complete and ready to serve, we suggest turning your lights to 2700k for a homely environment. 

The kitchen is for more than just cooking or eating. LED lighting can create the ideal environment for working, relaxing, and energising yourself.

 

Dimmer Switches are a versatile function of kitchen LED light fixtures. If your dining room table is in the kitchen, this lighting feature is essential when changing from cooking to eating. You can dim your lighting and create an ambient environment when enjoying your meal. Our dimmable LED lighting means you can tailor your lights to any occasion without switching between light fixtures and lamps. 

 

2022 Kitchen Lighting Trends


LEDs are a versatile way to brighten your kitchen. But with many styles and designs, it can be hard to choose lighting that will compliment your home. Accent, task, and ambient lighting are our top three lighting styles for 2022 that can integrate into any home.

 

Ambient Lighting


We believe it is time for all kitchens to have faultless ambient lighting. Ambient lighting is the primary light for the whole kitchen, and a well-lit room is required for cooking, working, and hosting. Find the correct lighting for your kitchen by following our 2022 ambient lighting trends.

 

Flush and semi-flush mounts provide minimalist lighting to fill your kitchen with an ambient glow. Our LED flush mounts allow you to create the perfect lighting without drawing focus from your kitchen interior. This lighting style has become increasingly popular as flush or semi-flush ceiling mounts complement all kitchens, highlighting existing features and elements of your home. 

 

Pendant Lights are a staple for 2022 kitchen lighting trends. By choosing the right lampshade, your pendant light can disperse a beautiful glow of light that highlights the design and draws attention to your kitchen. Replace incandescent lightbulbs in your pendant lights with LED lightbulbs and easily incorporate this trend into your home. You can also explore our integrated LED pendant lights if looking to update your kitchen and add a modern touch. LED pendant lights provide bright lighting to the kitchen island with eye-catching designs.

 

Task Lighting 


Task lighting is a favoured style as it provides light exactly where you need it to execute specific kitchen chores. It is essential to have task lighting when preparing food, chopping vegetables or measuring ingredients. Let’s look at the top trends for creating task lighting in the kitchen.

Under Cabinet Lighting is often used to brighten spaces hidden from ambient light. Most of our surface space in the kitchen is under cabinets, so it is essential to have sufficient lighting for your tasks. Another benefit of under-cabinet lighting is accentuating features in your kitchen, highlighting details on your backsplash tiles or stone countertops. Your kitchen lighting should assist you in tasks and elevate the look of your interior.  

 

Recessed LED lights are a popular choice for the kitchen this year. A sleek alternative to spotlights, these kitchen LED light fixtures feature a flush design to create the illusion of higher ceilings. They are a minimalist choice, offering benefits to homes looking for task lighting due to the bright downward light provided by the LEDs.

Bar Pendant Lights offer striking designs and act as a great source of task lighting for your kitchen island. Set your bar pendant between 30 and 36 inches from the countertop, providing optimal task lighting with a modern twist. Bar pendant lights are a popular kitchen trend because they allow you to add statement lighting to your home and act as a functional lighting source.

Accent Lighting


Accent lighting highlights details and features within your kitchen to create a modern space. With various kitchen trends, materials, and colours used in the kitchen, accent lighting enhances designs so that no elements are lost.

 

Cove Lighting is perfect for enhancing kitchens with high ceilings. It accentuates details on the top of your cabinets or ceiling while adding a contemporary element to your kitchen. With modern style on the rise, cove lighting is a great way to make the room appear more modern without spending time and money on a new kitchen. Cove lighting can be added to the home using LED strip lights with easy installation.

 

Toe Kick Lighting is similar to cove lighting but used at the bottom of your cabinets to highlight the flooring. This lighting style will provide a contemporary feel to the home and accentuate large tiles and kitchen floors. Try recessed spotlights along your floorboards for dramatic accent lighting and add a modern twist to your kitchen.

 

Cabinet Interior Lighting looks beautiful in glass-fronted cabinets. Small spotlights or strip lights can create this striking lighting effect, highlighting your favourite dishes or tumblers and create eye-catching focal points throughout your kitchen. If glass-fronted cabinets are not for you, try lining your cabinets with sensor LED lights and watch your kitchen glow every time you open them up.
