Making Bright Kitchen - Tips

1. Choose Light Work Top Colour

You've certainly seen how much of a difference a light, clean paint can make in a tiny bathroom or visitor room, but the same impact also applies to a kitchen countertop. Consider switching the countertop with a lighter material, such as Cemento Light Grey Quartz, if your kitchen frequently feels dark or confining.

We have shared some options for you if you are looking for a bright kitchen countertop.

Absolute Blanc Quartz

Absolute Blanc Quartz is another ideal option if you want a bright white work surface. White worktops, which are available in 30mm and 20mm thicknesses, may complement practically any kitchen design and colour. Consider pairing this white quartz light countertop with a kitchen island in a different shade to give it some personality if you think a white quartz countertop could look too clinical.

Absolute White Porcelain for Light Countertop

Introducing a brilliant white Absolute White Porcelain material in your kitchen has advantages far beyond its illumination capabilities. The hardest granite is not as strong as porcelain; in fact, porcelain is over 30% tougher. Porcelain is scratch resistant in addition to having a robust structure. Without having to be concerned about your knife scratching the surface, you also might cut and chop food straight on it.

Cemento Light Grey Quartz

A grey quartz stone called Cemento Light Quartz gives interior projects, such as kitchens, an industrial vibe and remarkable homogeneity. If you're looking for a light countertop colour, this is it. Cemento Light is available in slabs of 20mm and 30mm, regular slabs with measurements of 3000x1400mm, and large sizes of 3200x1600mm, ensuring continuous designs across pretty large surfaces.

Alaska Quartz

Alaska Quartz is a well-liked white stone used for countertops and surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom. They have improved surface hygiene thanks to the anti-bacterial composition of the stone. It is also non-porous, which makes it long-lasting and simple to maintain. What could be more ideal for a well-lit kitchen than this light countertop?

2. Choose Light Wall Colour

Consider painting the walls of your kitchen a lighter colour if you find that it often feels small or dark. It goes without saying what a room's wall colour does. Try painting the walls a bright white or cream colour if your kitchen is small or lacks natural light. Your kitchen will be bright and seem roomy thanks to these light colours, which reflect as much sunlight as they can.

3. Let In Maximum Sunlight Possible

Build wide windows if your kitchen is in a location with plenty of natural light and fresh air since they will make the space feel brighter and airier. You'll highlight the area as much as possible using kitchen windows. If you have any draperies that block the light, you might want to take them down and replace them with a small shelf that will allow more light in.

4. Add Overall Sufficient Light

One of the most common mistakes in kitchen lighting is to add overhead lights over floors rather than above workspaces like countertops, sinks and ranges. Recessed downlights, the workhorse of most kitchens, are too often placed in front of or behind countertops. This can create harsh shadows right where you might be working with sharp knives. Instead, consider locating recessed downlights directly above the centre of the countertops in this kitchen. Don’t worry about lighting up those floors; enough light still will be present to see those spills. The correct placement of recessed downlights does more than just light countertops; upper cabinets and open shelves are also better illuminated. Avoid awkward scallops of light by aligning the downlights with cabinet doors

5. Lighting Under Top Cabinets

Adding ceiling lighting over flooring instead of above workplaces like worktops, sinks, and stoves is one of the most frequent mistakes made when it comes to kitchen lighting. Countertops are much too frequently positioned in front of or behind recessed downlights, the core part of most kitchens. When using kitchen knives, this can cast an uncomfortable shadow directly in your path. Instead, think of placing recessed downlights in this kitchen's main focus above the centre of the worktops. Don't worry about illuminating the flooring; there will still be enough light to detect those messes. Recessed downlights placed properly not only illuminate counters more effectively but also upper drawers and open shelves. By positioning the downlights to face cabinet doors, you may prevent unsightly light streaks.

6 Well-Lit Sink Area

It's good to be able to see what you're performing when cleaning dishes manually. Don't just install one tiny pendant hanging or recessed light above your wash basin to provide lighting for the night and call it a success. Instead, install numerous lighting over your basin to make cleaning up simple and to free your eyes from strain.

7. Use Rope Lights

The simplest and most affordable way to add high-quality illumination to your room is by far LED rope lights. They come down just as easy as they go up, which is a significant benefit for renters. They are designed to stick behind cabinets or anyplace else in your house without the need for extra equipment or configuration complications. You may illuminate your upper cabinets by tucking rope lights under their top borders. When it's time to light up this area, you can just turn them on; they can run around the perimeter and be entirely camouflaged.
