How to Light Your Kitchen with Chandeliers
Properly placed luminaries will provide ideal lighting for your everyday routine, making daily tasks effortless and enjoyable. For the kitchen, whether over an eat-in table or kitchen island, linear chandeliers are an excellent option to provide ample lighting and a touch of accented decor. Another fabulous option is utilizing two or more smaller chandeliers in a row to brighten your kitchen island countertop while amplifying your kitchen aesthetic with ease. Accent with recessed, track, or strip lighting to add ambiance and ensure that your chandelier remains the focal point, while still providing enough light to enjoy your space day and night.
What Finish Should I Choose for the Kitchen Chandelier?
With chandeliers available in a wide variety of finishes, the choice to be made is what looks best in your space and how will it elevate your surroundings? There is no need to explicitly match your fixtures to your hardware, but it can create an incredibly cohesive and balanced space. For a rustic country or farmhouse kitchen, burnished iron or natural wooden accented fixtures work best to tie the theme together. For Scandinavian, industrial, or even mid-century modern-focused kitchens, black, white, or even copper can add dimension and depth high above. Lastly, for those who enjoy a touch of sparkle, gold, brass, nickel, and chrome-finished chandeliers are always a fabulous option for Art-deco, traditional, and coastal spaces alike.
What Style Should My Kitchen Chandelier Be?
Start by choosing an aesthetic for your kitchen and deciding whether that is going to be a look that is carried throughout your home, or one specific to this space. Instead of strictly matching all of your lighting, choosing a chandelier that coordinates with your decor and additional lighting ensures a common and cohesive appearance. Utilizing a chandelier in the kitchen creates a strong focal point while adding balance and symmetry to your space, establishing a welcoming atmosphere everyone will want to enjoy. Start with your decor style whether farmhouse, French country, contemporary, coastal, or industrial, and then move towards shape and finish. A traditional chandelier works well in traditional, rustic and even Scandinavian-inspired spaces, while a drum chandelier or globe chandelier works in contemporary and even farmhouse modern kitchens. Play with finish to match your kitchen hardware or add a touch of sparkle to offset fresh white cabinets and marble countertops. And never be afraid of choosing a chandelier with high-impact and true wow-factor to establish dimension and true dynamic in the heart of the home.
