Rethinking Lighting in Your Kitchen Design

Factors to Consider When Lighting Your Kitchen

When choosing kitchen lighting, appearance and style are very important. Your lighting should complement the overall kitchen design. Your lighting should also work for tasks like cooking and cleaning. After all, who wants to chop vegetables in the dark?

Consider for a moment, the commercial equivalent of kitchen lighting – there are codes and regulations around lighting areas where food is stored and prepared. The idea is to have brightness, light quality, and coverage standards that increase safety. Better visibility = better decisions and functionality in terms of food safety and occupational safety. Yes, many Michelin-starred restaurants have moody lighting around the dining table, but you can bet with 100% certainty that the food preparation and storage areas in the kitchen are brightly lit and up to code.

Foodie-level chefs tend to have the same expectations for residential kitchen preparation and storage areas.

Matching Kitchen Flooring with Cabinets and Countertops

When deciding on the right flooring for your kitchen, it’s important to consider the color scheme of the kitchen and the materials you want to use throughout the room. If you choose simple or neutral cabinet colors, a patterned floor like the herringbone style can bring a kitchen to life. Likewise, if you have a bright and bold cabinet color, a more calming, neutral floor may be a better choice. Floors, cabinets and countertops are the foundation of a cohesive kitchen design. As previously stated, it is ideal to keep your overall design simple so that you can easily tweak and add accents if you wish.

There are pros and cons to matching your floor color to your countertops. On the one hand, matching your floors to your countertops maintains continuity, just like marble countertops and marble floors. On the other hand, if

Elegant, discreet and minimalistic—these are some of the defining traits of renowned French design maestro Christian Liaigre’s stellar work. The late designer and his eponymous brand Liaigre continue to be recognized worldwide for a signature look that is both polished as well as tastefully understated. A Singaporean couple who are ardent admirers of Liaigre’s work sought to incorporate some of the French brand’s most notable designs into their semi-detached house.
