Chandeliers for the kitchen - choose by style

Stylish chandeliers are a separate type of pendant ceiling lights that consist of a series of lamps. This is their main distinguishing feature from all other lighting devices.

But such models are best placed above the table, only in the dining area, you can also in the kitchen studio. If you hang such a model in a small kitchen or close to the cooking area, the plafonds will quickly become dirty.

Provence style looks good in the kitchen, it gives the hostess maximum freedom in her decor. In addition, the unique atmosphere of this style can translate into reality southern motifs and modern style.

Above the table you can attach lanterns from Morocco, colorful figures and similar decorative elements.

Lighting Choice

Many people think that choosing a lamp made of glass or other material for the kitchen is very simple. Hang an unusual orange lamp in the center of the room - and the problem is already resolved. But this is not so! Modern design decisions require completely different rules of the game. The choice of kitchen lighting should take place even at the stage of construction work, so that the repair team could hide the wiring to the lamp in the zone of your choice. In what sequence should you choose and buy lighting?

Advises to use this:

1. Small lamps that will be located above the working surface (this is the most important area);
2. Lighting for the dining part of the kitchen (first two zones by frequency of use);
3. Ceiling lights that will illuminate the entire room. The most ideal option is for ceiling models to perform only an auxiliary function. In large rooms, it will be simply necessary, but in a small room you can refuse it;
4. Separately, you need to come up with a backlight in the kitchen of a decorative nature: as an option, it can be LED.

General light

Traditionally, kitchens were hung with lamps with one lamp, or with a fan, but this classic has become a little obsolete, because this kind of lighting can hardly be called ergonomic. Light is concentrated in the central part of the room, where, basically, nothing is located. It is better to opt for a small lamp for the kitchen. Make suspensions, localize the light near the working area, you can install it on hanging cabinets. In this case, the color of the lamp does not matter, if only the owners liked it. The most classic is the Art Nouveau chandelier. In general, it is worth highlighting that area in the kitchen where you will most often be. For those who cannot imagine the kitchen, where there are no two or three lamps in the lamp and it is not located in the center, it would be advisable to hang it strictly above the table. A modern alternative to kitchen chandeliers is a suspended ceiling with mounted spots (small halogen lamps).

The kitchen is impossible to imagine with "extra light". In large rooms, it is even more necessary. Owners will be able to appreciate the advantages of the backlight that are built into the furniture. This will be significant only when they look for the necessary seasoning or dishes in the depths. Necessary things can be above the ceilings.

It is better to think over such lighting in advance, in a different way (if you want to get the necessary convenience), you will be forced to empty almost all the shelves and dismantle the cabinets from the wall: otherwise it will be impossible to carry out a hidden installation of the backlight.

Despite the classicism, most housewives prefer luminaires with a fan, which immediately combine the two necessary functions.
