Top Kitchen Ceiling Light Options:

No matter how big or small your kitchen is, start with overhead lighting. Ceiling lights, also called ambient lighting, should be your first choice. They help enhance the natural light. The most popular styles are pendant lights, flush mounts, and semi-flush fixtures.

Chandeliers

Chandeliers are a classic choice for kitchen lighting. They add a touch of elegance and drama. The more tiers a chandelier has, the more dramatic it looks.


Pendant Lights

Pendant lights are a great mix of function and style for your kitchen. They work well and look good. Many interior designers use them as eye-catching pieces. For optimal pendant lighting placement above your kitchen island or counter, maintain 30 to 36 inches of clearance between the underside of the pendants and the countertop. This is considered the standard recommendation.

 

Flush-Mounted Light

Flush-mounted lights are ideal for small kitchens, like galley-style kitchens. They are especially recommended for kitchens with low ceilings.

 

Wall Sconces

Wall sconces are decorative accents for the kitchen, often placed on either side of a large window or above a sink. Interior designers use sconces to add charm and character to the space.

 

Recessed Lighting

Recessed lights are a simple way to brighten your kitchen without making it feel cluttered. Installed in the ceiling, they work well over countertops and cabinetry. Unlike other lights, they don’t hang down or take up space.
