19 Creative Kitchen and Dining Lighting Designs
Here's a collection of cases featuring kitchens, islands, cabinets, and dining areas - there's definitely one that catches your eye.
This futuristic geometric kitchen combination is truly captivating. The introduction of warm white lighting only enhances its charm. Each design unit and wall element features an illuminated underline, including the kitchen countertop.
Black and white kitchens already have a strong contrasting effect, but adding a few cool linear white LEDs takes the design to a whole new level. It looks like a space station straight out of a science fiction movie.
The black bar stools are the first attention-grabbing element in front of the kitchen, but the hidden yellow lights above the counter divert attention to the back. Gray kitchens like this can sometimes feel cold, so a yellow lighting area adds warmth to the space.
A long white light strip is installed under the overhead cabinets in the kitchen, illuminating the countertop and harmonizing perfectly with the gray cabinets. Unique spherical pendant lights hang above the central workstation, which also serves as a casual dining area. The contrast between the black bar stools and the white-gray background is a nice touch. However, this design is more suitable for Western cuisine or for those who rarely cook. If it's for Chinese cuisine, an open kitchen is not recommended, as just cleaning these two pendant lights alone can be frustrating.
Take a look at this glowing marble countertop. It feels more like a stage than a kitchen. Cooking here would certainly feel like putting on a culinary show.
In this blue space, you can play with lighting on the walls, countertops, and even add linear lighting underneath the workstation to enhance the overall effect of the space.
Not all lighting designs need to be dazzling. This softly illuminated kitchen exudes warmth and relaxation, perfect for cooking or dining.
This kitchen utilizes textured marble as a backdrop, with embedded lighting in the middle section of the background wall, simple yet elegant. The front workstation also doubles as a dining table, and the black chairs become the focal point in this white space.
In this kitchen, warm LED border lighting combined with three yellow pendant lights above the central island creates a cozy ambiance.
With a combination of yellow, white, and black, the symmetrical layout of this kitchen showcases the contrast between the two sides: open cabinets with a natural wood finish on both ends, and a comfortable contrast with the white enclosed cabinets in the middle. The black workstation and black-and-white chairs become the focal point, while the lighting design underneath the workstation enhances this effect.
If the kitchen is in all-white color, it may appear too cold. Therefore, when designing the lighting, adding warm-toned lights as colorful decorations can bring some visual warmth to the room.
Every corner and crevice of the kitchen can offer an interesting lighting fixture. These kinds of lights don't necessarily have to serve a practical lighting purpose but are more focused on the overall decorative effect of the space.
Kitchen cabinets with textured doors should have proper lighting to showcase their design depth. This kitchen design also features a black accent wall.
Lighting under shelves has become a popular choice in kitchens.
This kitchen features a glowing cabinet display to showcase a unique set of wine glasses, with a light strip installed under the wall cabinets and complementary embedded lighting in the ceiling.
The industrial-style lighting, like this row of five independent hanging light bulbs, has a minimalist and distinctive style. A larger pendant light hangs on one side of the table, creating a circular design that marks a casual dining area. The LED strip light under the base makes the cabinets appear to float above the floor.
This colorful boxed lighting installation above the central workstation in the kitchen illuminates the dining area, sink, and a set of indoor potted plants.
The bright yellow backdrop in the kitchen is created by warm LED lighting. On the left side of the kitchen, a slender LED strip is embedded above the workstation. At the end of the dining area, there are two huge industrial pendant lights.
