A modern kitchen chandelier with the right bulbs has the ability to add a sense of luxury almost immediately. In the kitchen as in any room, this notion couldn’t be truer. Read more Adding a well-chosen chandelier or pendant to the kitchen table or island is a great way to add a touch of sparkle and impress your guests before they move on to the dining room. And whether your kitchen has a mid-century modern look with well-distributed LED bulbs or is inspired by classic, rustic and traditional aesthetics, you’ll find the perfect chandelier for your kitchen at Maison Du Lustre.

KITCHEN LUSTRE: WHAT ARE ITS STRENGTHS?

Kitchens become elegant and impressive thanks to the presence of a chandelier made from chrome or brass, for example. Unlike strictly functional forms of industrial lighting with an ordinary bulb, chandeliers are meant to be displayed to help define and show the true character of a room. But as well as the decorative character these kitchen chandeliers offer, you’ll also love the extended light output they provide. And when paired with other kitchen lighting, furniture and equipment, you’ll enjoy creating a well-balanced, well-designed room.

A kitchen chandelier for every style

In a kitchen where lighting is seen as more functional than decorative, imagine a bedroom and the lampshade that is essential there, a chandelier is a great option to help define the style of the room. Contemporary kitchen chandeliers are ideal ways to draw attention to the aesthetics of the room unlike bathroom chandeliers which focus on lighting.

How do you choose the best kitchen chandelier?

Choosing the best kitchen chandeliers or LED ceiling lights for kitchen islands with a lacquered finish will depend on the aesthetics of your home and how much space you have to work with in the room. Start your search by properly measuring your kitchen to determine the size of a chandelier the room can accommodate. With size in mind, you can look at important dimensions such as height, width, depth. Also think about the weight (to make sure your ceiling can handle it) to find the best option for your kitchen. Next, you can refine your options by choosing colours, finishes and features that will match your kitchen decor. Consider the chandelier’s brightness scale to get an idea of the result you’ll get. If the island chandelier isn’t bright enough for your application, you may want to consider another option or complement your kitchen with additional lighting from a wall sconce or under-cabinet lighting.

Other considerations for chandelier selection

In larger kitchens where a counter exists in the middle of the kitchen, such as a kitchen island, you’ll want to see the island lighting assortment. While most modern kitchen chandeliers, pendant lights, or other lamps are large and round, a kitchen island chandelier takes the form of a linear fixture to fit the shape of the island. You could also consider hanging a set of Scandinavian-style mini pendant lights in place of a larger light. You’ll get the same light output and be pleasantly surprised at the amount of characterful mini pendants you can offer when hung together. Finally, where ceiling space is available, consider adding a ceiling fan to help move stale air around the kitchen and to act as an alternative light source.
