Hanging Lights Over Island In Kitchen Ideas

Lighting is the design element that majorly affects the quality of life in a space. Any architectural or design element gains or loses its significance relative to the natural/artificial light it receives. The kitchen is the interior space that most includes function. Bearing a 500 lux design luminosity requirement, it is considered the space with maximum need for light in the house. Lighting in kitchens can be designed in various layouts: direct ceiling lighting, ceiling-wash indirect lighting, wall-mount lighting, wall-wash indirect lighting and cabinet indirect lighting.

The selection of the type of lighting for your kitchen primarily depends on the kitchen design. Lighting becomes of further importance if you have a kitchen island. The latter urges the lighting design to focus on the kitchen center and/or to draw attention to the kitchen island by installing suspended lighting fixtures, which serve design and functionality simultaneously

10. Modern Rod-hanging Lights

Contemporary kitchen style allows perhaps the widest selection range of accessories. For example, this kitchen with its long and relatively narrow island bears a similar modern lighting fixture.

Advice: Keep the suspended lighting fixtures the focal point of the lighting layout by selecting simple spotlights, indirect lighting or LED square lights for the rest of the space.
