Avoid Costly Mistakes: How to Get Kitchen Lighting Right


Listen Later

Kitchen lighting can make or break a design! The good news is that clever, high-end lighting is easily accessible to everyone—and it can instantly take your kitchen to the next level.


In this episode of the Love Your Kitchen podcast, host Faye Newman is live from the KBB exhibition at the Sensio Lighting stand with lighting expert Andrew. Together, they simplify the world of kitchen lighting so you can approach your renovation with total confidence.


Lighting is often an afterthought in kitchen design, but Andrew explains how easy it is to elevate your space using "Plug and Play" technology. We break down the golden trio of lighting—Task, Mood, and Convenience—and reveal how to illuminate tricky spaces like handle rails, deep pantry cabinets, and even solid stone worktops!


Whether you are designing a sleek handleless modern space or a traditional in-frame shaker kitchen, this episode will show you how to add well designed lighting without the stress.

Best Moments:


"If we have a wall unit like this, all we need is a plug socket... there are so many options out there that take us away from needing the traditional light switch on the wall 100%."


"Task lighting will always be the number one priority... it means that the worktop is fully illuminated so we're not trying to chop in the dark."


"We talk about smart technology... our smart drivers will unlock 'circadian rhythm,' automatically following the sun to shift to a softer light to relax us on an evening."


"If we can make it as simple as possible, it becomes an option that doesn't create complexity, it just creates a solution."
