kitchen island lighting

When it comes to kitchen island lighting, you need to anlayze what you use it for. For most people a kitchen's island are where they eat, prepare dinner and sometimes it's where the stovetop is so they cook there as well.

Lighting for above your kitchen island usually involves 3 different types:

  • recessed lighting - recessed light fixtures are insetted into your ceiling, giving the area a clean look, while at the same time providing you with lots of genneral and task lighting. Place 4 recessed light fixtures, with a dimmer switch and you can instantly change the mood.

  • mini pendant light fixtures - if you want to install hanging lamps, for the design look, then mini pendants are a nice choice, I suggest choosing 2 to 3 pendants to illuminate the area. Hang the pendants about 30 inches above the island.

You can choose from any style that you have in mind for your kitchen, from tiffany, contemporary, crystal, tropical, victorian and country to name a few.
