Spruce Up Your Kitchen Island With Lighting

Your kitchen island is an important part of your home’s function.

Kitchen island lighting can provide both task lighting while also playing an important role in your kitchen's overall design feel and mood.

Consider Adjustable Pendant Lighting

Having great lighting can come down to the height of your light fixture, which will affect how much lighting shines down in a certain area. Adjustable pendants allow you to move your lighting up and down to suit your particular needs at different given times. Many use a weighted pulley system, making moving them up and down easy to accomplish.

Choose an Easy-to-Clean Lighting Finish

We all know that grease, grime, and steam can leave behind not-so-cute residue that simply collects more dirt, dust, and grime. One way to keep your lighting shining brightly so it doesn't begin to dim over time is to choose an easy-to-clean lighting finish that you can wash easily. Some finishes to consider include metal, glass, and ceramic. Matte-finished fixtures work well, and if you choose a darker color, you can go longer between cleanings.

Match the Size of Kitchen Island Lighting to Your Space

If you have the wrong size of lighting, your space can look extremely disproportionate, and you may not even realize it. For example, if you have a rather long kitchen island and only have one kitchen island light fixture, the light can disappear altogether. Instead, choose lighting fixtures that will fit your space so it complements your kitchen's look, not detracts from it.

Install Lighting Just for Food Prep

You most likely spend a lot of time preparing and cooking your food. You can make this task a breeze with wonderful lighting just for your food prep area. We recommend a kitchen island lighting type that is open at the bottom so that most of the lighting shines onto your space. Use lights with a diffuser at the bottom of the bulb, so the lighting is not quite as harsh.
