Kitchen Lighting

Kitchens work hard, so the lighting has to as well. Combine bright task light over worktops with pendants over an island or table, and add wall lights and spotlights so the kitchen feels good after the cooking is done.

Buying Kitchen Lighting

How to Light a Kitchen

Light the worktops first. Spotlights, downlights or a track aimed at the counters give clear light where you chop and cook, without your own shadow in the way.

Then add a focal point. Two or three pendants over an island, spaced evenly and hung about 75 to 90cm above the worktop, give light where you need it and define the space.

Finish with wall lights or a pendant over the table, all on separate switches or dimmers, so the kitchen can go from working light to dinner light.

Kitchen Lighting Questions

How many pendants should go over a kitchen island?
Usually two or three, depending on the island's length. Space them evenly with about 60 to 75cm between each, and keep them clear of the ends of the island.
How high should pendants hang over an island?
About 75 to 90cm from the worktop to the bottom of the shade. Keep them high enough that they don't block the view across the kitchen.
What lighting is best for kitchen worktops?
Spotlights, downlights or track, aimed at the front edge of the worktop so you are not working in your own shadow. A cool to neutral white (3000K to 4000K) suits task areas.
