A beautiful kitchen with poor light still feels unfinished. Layered lighting is one of the quietest upgrades you can make.
Three useful layers
- Task light under wall cabinets for prep
- Ambient ceiling light for general brightness
- Accent light in niches, plinths, or open shelves
Warmth matters
Cool glare makes food and finishes look harsh. Aim for comfortable warmth that flatters timber textures and stone worktops after sunset.
