The kitchen is arguably the heart of most homes. It’s where you gather and chat, sharing food and making memories. But for that to happen, your kitchen has to be somewhere you want to be. And your choice of lighting can play a big part in that, which is something that Altos Lighting knows all about.
Whether you want to brighten your breakfast bar or upgrade the underside of your cabinets, Altos kitchen lighting can bring warmth, elegance, and functionality into your home.
Let Altos Lighting Make Your Kitchen Shine
Statement pendants
Whether sleek and sculptural or understated and elegant, pendants are usually the showstoppers of kitchen lighting. You can use them over breakfast bars, kitchen islands, or dining tables. Helping to not only define the space, but to define its character. Pendants like the Reyna hammered glass and brass light carry simple sophistication and grace. While the Coleman light, with its aged gold frame bedecked with clear and champagne glass droplets, brings more of a wow. And the Astral pendant simply cries ‘look at me!’ They can all become the focal point. And they can all set the tone for the character of your kitchen.
Undercabinet LEDs
Discreet yet powerful, undercabinet lights provide task lighting exactly where you need it. You can choose the placement and spacing to suit your exact requirements. Which makes food prep easier, while lifting the entire aesthetic of the space. And as an added bonus, when you don’t want the full overhead lighting show, you can switch on your cabinet lights for a softer, ambient glow. With Altos, you can even get colour-change cabinet lights, so you can make the mood your own.
Spotlights
Dimmable and direction-adjustable, spotlights have long been the workhorses of the kitchen. You can go for understated white spots, like the Irwin. Or add a bit of glam and flare with the Kallepo. Either way, these fixtures offer clean, seamless illumination across your entire kitchen. Selecting spots in the prep area and a pendant where you dine, can also be a really useful way of defining the space.
Island lighting
Whether you use your kitchen island for food prep, storage, or seating, the right lighting can make a big impression. Bar pendants, like the Kenmore or Nostalgia, can help to spread the light over the entire space, making it both useful and beautiful. Another common choice of kitchen island lighting is the use of two large pendants, like the Cassidy. Alternatively, a large LED light, like the Sherri, can fill the space, bringing interest and even illumination.
Wall lights
Wall lights aren’t for everyone in the kitchen. But if you have the space, they can be a lovely touch. Particularly near dining areas. Wall lights like the Knightswood are as much artwork as utility, bringing a beautifully soft, diffuse glow to a space. While lights like the Marmo are a lot more subtle, and can even be painted to blend in with the rest of your room’s décor.
Flush ceiling lights
Lastly, we come to the Altos flush lights. Flush lights are often dismissed as being less exciting than pendants and chandeliers, but they’re invaluable for kitchens with low ceilings. And if you choose well, you can still make a statement. The Yardley is sleek, contemporary, and eco-friendly, with its LED lamps. While smoked glass orbs can bring a taste of industrial chic. And the Splendour semi-flush light really just speaks for itself.
The right lighting can transform the way you experience your kitchen. Enhancing functionality and building aesthetic appeal, well-chosen and well-placed lights will change the way you use your space. And with Altos lighting, the choices are almost limitless.
