Whether you’re going for a rustic or sophisticated look, there’s a lamp for your kitchen that suits. From ceiling lamps to floor lamps and everything in between. Discover our favourites and find the perfect light for your kitchen.
A classic is the ceiling lamp – it’s practical, easy to handle and takes care of itself. You can choose from a wide range of ceiling lights, such as spotlights (e.g. Kanlux ELNIS) that match any kitchen and feature a neutral design with rich colours or downlights (e.g. Kanlux AREL) that almost do not protrude from the ceiling at all and are therefore suitable for any kitchen.
Pendant lighting is also a popular way to illuminate your kitchen, and there’s a lot of choice in terms of size, shape and colour. If you have a high ceiling, choose a larger pendant with a more decorative design. If your ceiling is smaller, go for a pendant with a more functional design.
When it comes to lighting, kitchens require both ambient and task light. Ambient light creates the overall atmosphere of your kitchen, while task light is used for cooking and reading. For ambient lighting, we recommend installing several pendants with a little bit of distance between them, so the light isn’t too concentrated in one area. For task lighting, a single pendant is fine.
Shed light on art
As the kitchen becomes more of a living/gathering space for many homeowners, canvases and framed photographs are increasingly being displayed in the kitchen. It’s important to remember that these are works of art and deserve to be treated as such, so we recommend recessed, adjustable fixtures that can highlight the work.
This pendant from the PH series is an elegant, timeless design created by Poul Henningsen and fits in with all styles of decor. The sculptural pendant appears both raw and refined at the same time, and is beautiful whether it’s on or off.
The Wanessa 4 ceiling lamp from Lindby is a combination of natural warm wood and cool metal details, which makes it a versatile fit for any kitchen. It emits a soft, warm white combined up- and downlight that brings the room together and creates a cosy meeting place for the family.
If you want to get in on the dome flush mount trend but your kitchen doesn’t have any available outlets, this gilded pick is a great option. It is battery-operated and controlled with a remote, so you can plug it in wherever you need to without worrying about finding an outlet. You can even switch the bulb to a clear or opaque version depending on your mood. The best part? The battery is rechargeable, so you can change the bulb as often as you like. For even more flexibility, try adding a second bulb for a dimmed effect or to use as a nightlight. A kitchen is a busy and lively space, so it’s important to have the right light to help you feel your best.
