Check our collection and get inspired by the many options for kitchen lighting!

The importance of good kitchen lighting?

Good lighting in the kitchen has several benefits. First of all, it is essential for safety while cooking. You need sufficient and bright light on the worktop to cut and prepare accurately. But kitchen lighting goes beyond functionality; it can also improve the ambience and overall design of the room. With the right lighting, you can transform a kitchen into an inviting space.

Tips for choosing the right kitchen lighting

Combine functionality and style: choose light fittings that are both functional and contribute to the style and atmosphere of the room. Tonone's collection offers several lamps suitable for the kitchen, from sleek and modern to industrial.

Create layering: use a combination of general lighting, task lighting and mood lighting to create a layered and versatile lighting atmosphere.

Consider light colour and brightness: Choose LED lights with different colour temperatures to create the right atmosphere for different activities in the kitchen, such as cooking, eating and entertaining. Dimmable lights are also useful to adjust brightness to suit different needs and moods.

Consider space and layout: Match lighting to the specific needs of your kitchen space and layout. Make sure all important work areas are well lit and that there are no annoying shadows while cooking.

Opt for sustainability: Go for high-quality and energy-efficient LED lighting to save energy and extend the life of your bulbs. Tonone's LED lamps combine durability with excellent light quality, making them the ideal choice for any kitchen.

Different types of kitchen lighting

A well-lit kitchen requires a combination of different types of lighting to create both functionality and atmosphere. Here we share the main types of kitchen lighting you can consider for a perfectly lit kitchen:

General lighting

General lighting provides the basic lighting and illuminates the entire kitchen. General lighting ensures that the kitchen is evenly and brightly lit, making it easy to move around and work.

• Ceiling lights
  Ceiling lights provide an even distribution of light across an entire room. Tonone's collection includes a number of Bolt ceiling lamps in different sizes, with a choice of 11 colours. In the Beads collection, you can choose between the Beads direct inside and Beads direct outside.  
• Recessed spotlights
  Recessed ceiling spotlights are a subtle option as kitchen lighting. Recessed spotlights fit perfectly in a sleek and minimalist kitchen.

Task lighting

To illuminate specific working areas in the kitchen, such as the cooker, worktop or sink, task lighting is essential. This lighting provides sufficient light in areas where precision and visibility are important.

• Pendant lights
  A large kitchen with a kitchen island is perfect for hanging pendant lights. A pendant lamp above a worktop or cooking island is not only functional, but also decorative. Tonone has various pendant lamps for the kitchen, such as the Bella pendant, Beads pendant lamps, Mr Tubes LED pendant or the new Bridge pendant lamp in neon colours. 
• Wall lights
  Wall lights in the kitchen are perfect for illuminating worktops and cooking areas. Tonone has several models of wall lights in its collection that not only spread functional light, but also give your kitchen an upgrade. For example, you can choose from several Bolt wall lights in different models, sizes and colours. You can also choose a Bolt lamp with clamp and attach it to a wall shelf above the worktop. For a sleek, minimalist kitchen, the Beads wall lamp is a suitable choice.
• Recessed spotlights
  You can also place recessed spotlights under kitchen cabinets. These create direct light on the countertop, ideal for cutting and preparing food.

Mood lighting

Ambient lighting in the kitchen is often used to create accents and a cosy atmosphere.

• Wall lights
  Besides being perfectly suited as task lighting, wall lights are often used as mood lighting to spread a soft glow and create interesting shadows. This gives a kitchen a cosy look.
• Dimmable lamps
  By choosing dimmable kitchen lighting, you have the option of adjusting the light intensity, perfect for creating a relaxing atmosphere during a cosy dinner. 

A well-lit kitchen not only makes cooking and social interactions easier, but also enhances the enjoyment and aesthetics of the space. By combining different types of lighting, you can create a functional and atmospheric kitchen that meets all your needs. Whether you're looking for functional lighting above the kitchen sink or ambient lighting above the dining table, Tonone has the perfect lamp to illuminate and transform your kitchen.
