The kitchen requires lighting that is as functional as it is aesthetic, capable of adapting to both meal preparation and meals with friends. Pendants above an island, wall lights, and ceiling lights combine to cover each work area with precision and style.

How to light a kitchen?

A kitchen needs two kinds of light: general light for the whole room, from a ceiling light, and precise light on the work areas. Above an island or a table, pendant lights are the most effective and decorative solution. Along a wall, wall lights or light bars light the worktop.

Which pendants for an island?

Line up two or three identical pendants depending on the length of the island, with a shade that directs light downwards. Metal, concrete or ceramic designs light the worktop well. Glass adds lightness, while wood or bamboo warm up a modern kitchen.

Kitchen open to the living room

Create a visual link by choosing lights of the same material or colour in the kitchen and the living room, and a warm light so the space stays pleasant in the evening. See also our dining room selection.
