Kitchen

In many homes today, the kitchen is often the center of family activity. Kitchen lighting requirements depend on the size and complexity of the space and the type of activities that take place there. While the kitchen is primarily a work and cooking area, it may also be used for dining or as a gathering place for family and friends. Small kitchens may require only a central ceiling fixture and task lighting tucked under a cabinet, while more elaborate kitchens will demand a blend of general, task, and accent lighting. Accent Lighting has a fantastic selection of kitchen light fixtures that will work perfectly in your home.

Tips to Choose Kitchen Lighting

Assess Your Space: Start by evaluating the layout and size of your kitchen. A well-lit space requires adequate light across all areas, including work zones, food prep areas, and dining spaces.


Layer Your Lighting: Combining ambient, task, and accent lighting creates a well-lit environment. Ambient lighting provides overall illumination, task lighting focuses on specific areas, and accent lighting highlights features like artwork or architectural details.


Consider Functionality: Think about how you use your kitchen. You'll need brighter, focused lights over work areas like the countertops and stovetop while softer lighting works well in dining areas.


Choose Energy-Efficient Options: Look for LED fixtures that provide brightness without consuming excessive energy. This switch not only saves you money in the long run but also benefits the environment.


Match Your Style: Your kitchen lighting should coordinate with your decor. Whether you lean towards modern, rustic, or traditional aesthetics, Accent Lighting in Wichita offers a range of styles to fit your vision.

 

Kitchen Lighting Styles and Designs

Pendant Lights

Perfect for island or breakfast bar lighting, pendant lights bring a stylish flair to your kitchen. Choose from a range of styles, including vintage, modern, or industrial designs, to enhance your space.

Chandeliers

Offering a touch of elegance, chandeliers can make a statement in larger kitchens. Consider a contemporary design for a modern kitchen or a rustic chandelier to complement farmhouse decor.

Recessed Lighting

Sleek and unobtrusive, recessed lighting works exceptionally well for ambient lighting. Install them throughout your ceiling to evenly illuminate your kitchen without taking up visual space.

Under-Cabinet Lighting

Functionality meets style with under-cabinet lights. These fixtures provide essential task lighting for countertops while adding a warm glow to your kitchen.

Track Lighting

Flexible and adjustable, track lighting allows you to direct light where you need it most. This option is ideal for multi-tasking areas in your kitchen.

The complete room

Bring every detail together.

Begin with the surfaces and sightlines.

Let the island, cabinet layout and adjoining rooms guide the design. Compare pendants or a linear fixture in relation to the island length and ceiling height. Bring cabinet samples and countertop photos to see how fixture finishes work with the materials.

Give hardware an intentional role.

Cabinet pulls and knobs are part of the kitchen’s visual rhythm and daily use. Consider the cabinet style, proportions and how each piece feels in your hand. Our hardware collection is available in the store, not online, with a dedicated expert to help you choose.

Refine switches and everyday details.

Explore Legrand switches, outlets and wall plates as part of the room’s finish palette. Coordinate locations, electrical requirements and dimming compatibility with your qualified installer. The details around a backsplash deserve the same attention as the decorative fixtures.

Connect the kitchen to the rest of your home.

Furniture, home accents and window treatments can help an open kitchen feel connected to the dining and living spaces. Use a shared finish or material as a thread, then let each area’s function guide the individual pieces.

Lighting for the room

Start with the island.

Your island is often the visual anchor of the kitchen. Consider its length, ceiling height and surrounding sightlines before choosing pendants or a linear fixture. A pair of larger fixtures creates a different rhythm than a row of smaller pendants; the right choice depends on the scale of the room and how you use the surface.

Give working surfaces their own light.

Decorative pendants set the tone, but preparation areas need their own illumination. Think about where shadows fall at counters, sinks and cooktops. Under-cabinet lighting and thoughtfully placed ceiling fixtures can complement the decorative pieces without competing with them.

Coordinate the finishes, then refine the details.

Bring cabinet samples, hardware finishes and countertop photos when you visit. Our team can help you compare warm metals, dark finishes, glass and shade materials. Discuss bulb choices, dimming compatibility and the placement of each fixture with your installer before finalizing the plan.

Plan with confidence

Your questions, considered.

What should I bring when choosing island lighting?

Bring the island dimensions, ceiling height, the number of electrical locations and photos of adjoining rooms. These details help narrow fixture size and spacing.

Should all the kitchen fixtures match?

They can share a finish or material without repeating the same shape. Think about a clear visual connection between the island, dining area and other nearby spaces.
