Kitchen Lighting Ideas: Pictures

Need to make a big impact in your room on a budget? Then consider trendy kitchen lighting ideas. Pictures allow you to get an idea of how other people are syncing up their lighting designs with their existing kitchens. Some of these options might not be as expensive as you’d initially think and it’s much cheaper than an entire kitchen remodel even though it does give you an entirely new feeling.

1. This Clarkston Scamp CC picture uses a traditional kitchen lighting fixture. However, the layers of lights make it more contemporary. It has recessed lighting as well. Tuscan style fixtures with scroll work have become quite traditional. Stained glass lights are also a classic fixture but pairing all of these elements together really make the lighting a focal point. Notice that the amber shades match on all of the fixtures and it ties the cabinet and wall colors together. Otherwise the lighting would look mismatched. This is one of the few stained glass fixtures that I don’t find stuffy at all.

2. Kitchen lighting ideas can also be more subtle if you have smaller spaces. This is a contemporary pic from Tandemracer’s. I love how smaller pendants are placed in groups for bigger impact which is perfect if you’re on a budget. Clear glass shades get a punch with a layered blue look. This is perfect if you need a splash of color in a neutral room and the chrome will match any stainless steel appliances or stainless steel backsplashes for kitchens. Since modern kitchens have been popular for the last few years, you can still change up this style with unique lighting fixtures.

3. You can also use new lighting to take your room into a slightly trendier design style that will still match cherry wood or even white cabinetry. Kevinspencer proves this with a chandelier creative commons photo. Look at the unique glass shades that give a traditional fixture more of a contemporary feeling. This is one of those lighting fixtures that’s going to look great even when it’s turned off. Even with the trend of recessed lighting we’re still seeing a lot of statement fixtures such as this to add elegance.

4. Clarkston Scamp also shows you how you can work these fixtures into your overall theme. These are just glass pendant lights that you’d see almost anywhere. Here the lighting doesn’t steal the show just because there are already so many different colors, finishes, and patterns going on in the room. These smaller fixtures will also usually be your least expensive option and this balance keeps the room from becoming too busy.
