You want your kitchen lighting to be functional, but you also want it to match your kitchen décor. Recessed lighting works well for modern kitchens with low ceilings. Flush mount kitchen lights also have a low profile, with the added benefit that you can choose a shade that suits the style of your kitchen. Semi-flush lights also have a low profile and offer even more design options. Fluorescent kitchen lights can illuminate large areas and are now available in many interesting shapes and designs. A kitchen chandelier can add a touch of elegance to an open concept kitchen-dining area, but it requires a higher ceiling. Look for a farmhouse chandelier If your décor is more rustic or country.
Kitchen pendant lights come in a wide variety of styles and finishes to suit any kitchen décor. They can also work wonderfully as kitchen island lighting if low ceilings are an issue. You might also consider installing kitchen track lights above your island. The advantage here is that each unit in the series can function as a separate kitchen light fixture and be pointed wherever specific task lighting is needed. Under cabinet lights are a great way to illuminate your food prep areas and can also enhance the ambient lighting in your kitchen.
