Kitchen lighting requires the careful consideration of two purposes. Ideally, it should illuminate the work surfaces where you conduct most of your preparation, and it should provide welcoming ambiance during dinner or evening hours. Pendants fill a special role in the kitchen, in addition to the two requirements mentioned previously – kitchen pendants are the preferred choice for decorators who want to make a creative statement in an otherwise utilitarian space, filling in the emptiness between the countertops and ceiling with suspended works of art.

News: Kitchen island lighting: what you need to know

Bringing light into the kitchen is an important task, and its implementation should be carefully considered. The kitchen is often the heart of the home, where family members gather to prepare and enjoy meals, where you wash dishes and, most importantly, put the kettle on for a hot cup of tea!

Choosing the right lighting for your kitchen island will set the tone and atmosphere of your workspace. Below we share our thoughts on what you need to know about kitchen island lighting.

How many hangers are optimal for a kitchen island?

This largely depends on the size of your kitchen island and what style of hanging is most preferred.

Usually an odd number of luminaires is used, as this balances the distribution of light. Following the rule of three usually creates a smooth proportion.

Choose the number of hangers that suits your idea of ​​the perfect design. If you prefer 2 or 4, buy exactly this composition.

Please note that when installing several products, there must be space between them. The distance will depend on the diameter of the mount. Ensuring free space between each hanger is very important, and the general rule for counting it is to leave a gap that is equal to the diameter of the hanger.

What size should the kitchen hanger be?

It is not the size of the luminaire that matters, but the emitted light. It often happens that small suspensions are many times brighter than large ones. However, the size of the product is still worth taking into account. When choosing the right fixture, consider the height of the ceiling, the length of the island, and the area of ​​the room.

As a general rule, for higher ceilings and longer islands, you can choose hangers of greater width and height. Conversely, lower ceilings and short islands mean the installation of narrow and low lighting fixtures.

There are no rules when choosing lighting for your kitchen island, you should always put your taste first. After all, it is you who will be daily behind the work surface in the kitchen.

What height should I leave between the top and the hanger?

On average, the ceiling should hang 75-90 cm or 30 inches above the top.

If the countertop has a stove or sink, raise the fixture 4-6 inches higher.

What to choose: pendant lamps or chandelier?

From a practical point of view, chandeliers usually require only one wire, while pendants may require several networks, depending on the number of products. In this case, you can hang several suspensions connected to the same network.

To finally decide - a chandelier and a pendant - you need to understand what kind of light you need - local or general. The first option is often used as the only source of light, while pendants are used as an accent in the interior or for zoning a room.

How to choose a pendant light for your kitchen island?

Each type of lamp is represented by dozens, if not hundreds of different models. Materials, style, decor, design, shape, color are visual characteristics that distinguish all products.

Whether you want to add a unique highlight or go for a more sophisticated finish, the timeless styles of the fixtures are the right solution to decorate your kitchen island.

Glass shades

Glass pendant lights vary in size, shape and type of glass. The glass shade provides a natural flow of light throughout the kitchen. Glass lamps give the room a timeless and elegant look.

Cone pendants

Cone shaped pendant lights are a common option for kitchen island lighting. This is mainly due to the large selection of colors and styles available. The cone shape is typical of the traditional style, but is often used in modern kitchens.

Spherical pendants

Rounded luminaires have become more and more popular lately. The fresh, elegant globe shape complements any interior with a variety of glass designs: clear, opal, frosted and smoked.

Cylindrical pendants

Cylindrical lamps give the kitchen a modern look. They often create the illusion of height, tricking the mind into thinking the room is more spacious than it actually is.

Select products based on your own requirements and preferences.

Practical and beautiful lighting!

How to create comfortable kitchen island lighting

A kitchen island is usually located in the center of the kitchen, and therefore its lighting sets the tone and mood for the entire kitchen interior. Choose the right lamps for the island, and it will become a place of attraction for the whole family and friends for long gatherings and pleasant conversations over a cup of delicious tea.

Read our article to find out how best to organize comfortable lighting in this part of the kitchen space.

The Rule of Three

In most kitchen lighting projects with an island, designers take the unspoken "rule of three" as a basis. It suggests using a combination of three pendant lights for lighting. They are placed at an equal distance from each other in line with the table top of the island.

The luminaires themselves can be exactly the same or have some differences. It is only desirable that they be designed in the same style, then the whole composition will look harmonious. For example, you can pick up three devices in which the shades have the same shape, but are painted in different colors. Another option: shades of different sizes, identical in color and design - a pair of smaller ones at the edges and one more voluminous in the center.

Please note that the “rule of three” is not an axiom of interior design at all. Each interior is individual, and you can choose the lighting for it based on your own ideas about style and harmony. Your kitchen island can be lit up with more or fewer fixtures, as long as it's comfortable and enough to light up the space.

Deciding on the number and dimensions of lamps

Thinking over the lighting scenario for the kitchen island, rely primarily on the size of this part of the room. If the island is small, perhaps one or two lamps will be enough to illuminate it. Conversely, for a large island, the number of lamps can be increased to 4 or more.

By default, designers recommend placing pendant lights at a distance of 75-80 cm from each other. In this case, you need to step back from the edges of the table or island by 15 cm. The optimal height for placing appliances - from the surface of the countertop to the light source - 75-90 cm. The higher it is, the more room for choice opens up before you and the more voluminous lighting devices can be.

If the ceiling is standard or low, consider plafonds-tubes - elongated in length and having a small diameter. Let them be a neutral non-contrasting color, for example, white matte to match the ceiling. Such additional verticals will visually raise the ceiling, and the kitchen will seem a little more spacious.

Custom solutions

Pendant lights can be considered a classic kitchen island lighting solution. But it happens that the layout of the kitchen, the height of the ceilings or the general concept of the interior do not allow you to go the traditional way in organizing lighting. For such cases, designers have a lot of interesting alternative lighting options in their arsenal.

If the kitchen table is moved to one of the walls of the room, one or more sconces on long swivel arms can be fixed to the wall instead of hangers. Such devices, in principle, will look very original in the interior, and you can also use them to change the lighting for different situations: raise them higher to illuminate the entire surface of the island or lower them lower and shift the light to only one edge of the tabletop.

If the kitchen island has a square shape, you can abandon the linear lighting scheme and place the lamps approximately above the central part of the square in one or more groups at different heights.

Several pendant lamps can be replaced by a single chandelier that follows the shape of the island itself (rectangle or square). Original design appliances look better in laconic interiors.

Plain furniture without unnecessary decor and walls with a calm finish can be an excellent backdrop for such chandeliers, without attracting the attention of kitchen visitors.

In addition to overhead lighting, you can make decorative lighting for the island top itself or its base. Recessed lights or LED strip are suitable for this design.

Islands with built-in lighting look especially atmospheric when the main lighting is turned off. They seem to float in the space of the kitchen without touching the floor, as if real magic took part in the interior design, and not modest hidden lighting.

Lighting can transform a kitchen space beyond recognition, but it is quite easy to get confused in the variety of design solutions and the range of modern lamps.

If you're not sure which kitchen island lighting option will best suit your interior, try classic pendant lights. Their plafonds have a simple geometric shape, and the color can be chosen in one of the main shades that are present in the decoration of your kitchen. Such a solution is universal, it will look harmoniously with almost any interior style - from strict classics to modern hi-tech.
