Good lighting and fresh air is vital for every part of the home, and in the kitchen most of all. While extractors are becoming increasingly inconspicuous within modern kitchen design, kitchen lighting is taking on a more prominent role for both aesthetic and practical purposes.

GET YOUR LIGHT RIGHT

It’s probably not one of the first considerations many of us have when it comes to kitchen design, but lighting is a crucial element for a successful kitchen space. As Easylife Kitchens’ Atlanta Lombard explains, “Lighting is the most important design element a kitchen must have. It defines the experience that we want to create.

“Lighting that is cleverly positioned can compensate for poor natural light, disguise awkward architecture and make the space appear larger. It has the power to transform our kitchens into multifunctional spaces by catering for our dining, relaxation, homework and entertaining needs.”
