In this episode of Love Your Kitchen, we dive into the world of lighting design for kitchen remodels. Faye Newman is joined by Michael Linsky, the brains behind Sensio Lighting, and we're talking about the dos and don'ts of kitchen lighting.

So, what are the top considerations for kitchen design projects? We'll cover the essentials, from task lighting to ambient lighting, and then dive deeper into the latest trends and technologies.

As we chat with Micheal, you'll get a sense of Sensio's focus on problem-solving and simplicity. They're all about making lighting easy to use and integrate, so you can focus on cooking.

Key Takeaways

When it comes to kitchen design, lighting is often the unsung hero. But it's a crucial element that can make or break the overall look and feel of your kitchen space.

The latest lighting innovations are all about seamless integration, customisation, and automation. Think smart lighting designs that adapt to your needs and preferences. It's like having your own personal lighting assistant!

When it comes to creating a cohesive lighting scheme, it's all about mixing task and ambient lighting with different colour temperatures. This approach allows you to tailor the lighting experience to different tasks and moods.

Best Moments

“I like things to be integrated. I don't want lots of switches or light switches, I just want it to work.”

“In the UK, we're the only lighting company to have us own engineering, our own design, which means then we're actually designing the products.”

“We have got to a point now where we've tested and tried and developed and incrementally improved a technology now where we don't even bother talking about, the product just doesn't fail, it’ll outlast a kitchen.”

About the Guest

Michael Linsky’s entrepreneurial journey started unexpectedly at 16 when he dropped out of school. Battling dyslexia, he found traditional education challenging and unfulfilling, which led him to pursue a different path. In the quiet of his parent’s garage, with no qualifications but a wealth of passion and a desire, he began what would eventually become Sensio Lighting.

Now, 24 years later, Sensio Lighting stands as the leading brand in the UK for integrated lighting solutions for Kitchens, Bedrooms, and Bathrooms. Micheal’s early struggles with dyslexia transformed into a driving force behind his innovative approach, guiding Sensio to revolutionise how lighting enhances living spaces using innovation as the guiding principle.
