Backlight in the kitchen

Modern cuisine should not only be beautiful, but also functional. The space of this room, where all family members spend a lot of time, should be organized as conveniently as possible. In particular, this applies to the lighting of the room. Therefore, it is very important to use the lighting in the kitchen.

Backlight kitchen countertops

What kind of lighting to choose for the kitchen? Backlight countertops and work surfaces - one of the options for using LED tape to highlight the kitchen. Such additional lighting performs an important function: the hostess can clearly see all the products on the table, they can be cut carefully, without fear of injuring the hand due to poor visibility. Often it is the work surfaces that are not sufficiently illuminated, because due to the small size of the kitchen, they can not be positioned in this way with respect to the light source, so that the table can be clearly seen. To illuminate the countertops, usually use hermetic LED strips, which are fixed on the lower edge of the hinged cabinets. You can also use separate LED lamps, which can be arranged in any order. The glass of such lamps can be opaque or transparent.

Finally, to illuminate the countertops, you can use the lighting rails with lighting for the kitchen. This is an unusual and modern design solution.

Decorative lighting in the kitchen

Decorative lighting does not carry a functional load and is used to decorate the room, giving it an unusual atmosphere and unique appearance. For such lighting for the kitchen, you can choose lamps of any color, depending on the design idea and the desire of the owner.

Most often, the backlight is made in the kitchen apron.

Sometimes LEDs are attached to both the upper and lower edges of the LED, as well as to the side edges, but the easiest way to apply this kind of backlighting is to the bottom edge. This is convenient, because there the LED tape will not add extra centimeters. Just be aware that to decorate the bottom edge of the apron will require a special waterproof LED strip. Also interesting is the lighting for the kitchen on cabinets, which is fixed on the upper and lower edge of them.

Ceilings in the kitchen with lighting are a great solution if you want to add light to the room, but there is no desire or possibility to hang another chandelier or sconce on the wall.
