The open kitchen is stylish, but it is not like a closed kitchen fixture, it is mainly practical, it is also a part of the living room, so it has to be both aesthetic and stylish. How to choose the open kitchen lighting to make it beautiful and energy efficient?

Spring is accompanied by the breeze and slowly comes to us. The year is spring, are you already ready to renovate your own home? The problems that need to be considered for decoration are very wide. If you want to balance the needs of the whole family, the preparations in the early stage are indispensable.

It is recommended that the kitchen lights should not be too fancy

In general, kitchen cabinets in open kitchens, whether in the form of a flat, L-shaped or U-shaped cabinet, are mostly in the form of ceiling-mounted spotlights, ranging from 6-10. Ceiling lights are generally not used because they do not collect light, only astigmatism, so it is not suitable for installation in the kitchen. The light source should be chosen to be warmer than possible, and the light is beautiful.

The method of lighting can be arranged according to the overall space occupied by the open kitchen. If the kitchen area reaches 10 square meters, to ensure the brightness, 9 lights should be used, and it can be installed by surrounding 8 and 1 in the middle. The wattage of each spotlight does not have to be too high, and a switch that can be adjusted is prepared. If the kitchen area is only 6-7 square meters, the kitchen with 6 spotlights is enough, and the layout is more beautiful with 2 horizontal and 3 vertical arrangement.

If the height of the room is high, you can also use a chandelier in the middle of the open kitchen, surrounded by spotlights. The shape of the lamp must not be too complicated, so as not to cause trouble for the cleaning work in the future.

The modern cabinets are better with metallic spotlights. The lamps in the classical kitchen should be similar to the ceiling color. No matter what style of kitchen, the lamps should be clean and simple. The glass, stone, wrought iron and other materials are good.

All in all, the kitchen is a place to cook, try not to dress it too fancy, it is best to choose the cabinet with its own light. In terms of energy saving, do not install too many lights, and install a smart switch.

Can't grab the limelight in the living room

The open kitchen is placed together with the living room, so the lights are important. Five small spotlights were mounted on a row of kitchen cabinets, and the light hit the wall, forming a wavy aura, which was nice to look at, and also highlighted the beautiful cabinets.

In addition, in the kitchen leaning against the corner of the living room, there is also a bird-filled energy-saving lamp, the beautiful shape of the kitchen and the living room to add a lot of color, kill two birds with one stone. In order to make better use of this lamp, I also designed a rectangular bar under the lamp. I can drink red wine and tea when I am free. When the light falls down, it is very romantic.
