Kitchen lights - Inspiration for beautiful lighting
LAMPS FOR KITCHENThe kitchen is a place where we spend a lot of time, both social time and work/cooking time. That's why a room like the kitchen requires proper lighting that works for all occasions. There are 3 types of lighting that the kitchen should contain - central light, task light and mood light. The kitchen is a place that requires good lighting that creates an overview in the open kitchen, but also on cabinets and shelves. We have lamps for all types of lighting in the kitchen and here you can get some inspiration for what fits well in the kitchen, both in terms of style, which light bulbs are best and what types of kitchen lighting are available that are also the most practical.
CENTRAL LIGHT: The central light is often seen as a ceiling light or pendant. It's a light that provides the central lighting and it's the light that illuminates the room itself - while also adding atmosphere to the kitchen.
WORKING LIGHT: A good task light in the kitchen is very important as it's the light you use when preparing food at the kitchen table. Work light should illuminate the work area well, be bright and have the right color temperature. Work light can come from above or in front of you, but remember to avoid shadows to get the best light to work in. The task light should be above the worktop, stove and sink.
MOOD LIGHT: Adds coziness and character to the kitchen, it can often be combined with the central lighting using a dimmer. Give your kitchen a great atmosphere with mood lighting.
Kitchen pendant lights - Classic, retro or modern?
When it comes to countertop and pendant lights, you need to keep the hanging height in mind. As a general rule of thumb, lamps should hang around 75-80 cm above the tabletop for the best task lighting. To avoid shadows, measure the width of the kitchen worktop, divide this by 3, then measure the result of this from the wall - this is where the pendant light should hang if you want to avoid shadows. This is only a guideline and it may well be that your home requires a different type of hanging. You are always welcome to contact us for advice on hanging or which lamp to choose. A good idea is to hang several next to each other with a bit of spacing to get the most uniform lighting in the kitchen. There are many options when it comes to kitchen pendant lights, and they come in several different styles.

Consider your kitchen lighting, ceiling, pendant or wall lights
There are countless lighting options for the kitchen, such as ceiling lights, pendants and wall lights. To get a good workspace in the kitchen, there are several things that can be practical, but of course it also depends on taste and preference. When considering kitchen lighting, it's important to take into account the layout of the kitchen.
Wall lights are all the rage at the moment when it comes to kitchen design. It's a lamp that is super convenient when it comes to the kitchen, as it can often be rotated, moved and flipped to suit your kitchen lighting needs. The wall light allows you to get light directly where you are cooking/working. Wall lights are the flexible kitchen light of today.
Pendant lights are the most preferred lights when it comes to kitchen lighting. A good idea is that when choosing a pendant light, the screen shouldn't be too big, as it can quickly become a nuisance and be distracting. Ceiling lights are practical and easy to use, they simply need to be mounted on the ceiling and then they practically take care of themselves. When it comes to choosing lighting for the kitchen, it's important that the lamp is flexible.
It's really important to consider the lighting for the kitchen carefully, as the light should provide a good working light that illuminates the kitchen table, and the kitchen should also have central lighting that provides general light for the entire kitchen.
