Spotlights

A simple but effective choice when it comes to kitchen lighting is spotlights. These are medium-sized adjustable lights which can be attached to the wall and configured to suit your everyday kitchen process. Whichever part of the room you need to illuminate, a spotlight will be able to do the job with careful positioning and a quick adjustment every now and again.

Under cabinet lights

If you have a kitchen with high cabinets along the walls, then you could look into fitting under cabinet lights. These are LED devices which attach to the undersides of the cabinets, casting an attractive and efficient spot illumination in the working area below. They come in a range of different shapes and sizes, including LED strip tape that can be adjusted to suit your own purposes.

Illuminated shelves

It is possible to turn an entire shelf into a light by buying an illuminated shelf. These will emit a gentle white glow, bright enough to be easily seen even in darkness but not so bright as to dazzle you when you are removing something from the top of the shelf. Useful, as well as adding a very modern touch to your kitchen.

Pendant lights

When it comes to kitchen lighting, pendant lights are always dependable if you want to lend a modern feel to the room. They come in many materials from glass to metal, and an even larger array of shapes. You can also find pendant lights with multiple smaller bulbs across a horizontal bar, which makes for a fetching appearance while at the same time illuminating a wider area of the room.

Downlights

And finally, if you want to go all-out, perhaps you could consider downlights. These are light fixtures that are usually recessed into your ceiling to create that flawless finish you have always dreamed of.
