Highly functional kitchen design incorporates effective lighting, an aspect that should not be underestimated when working on a new build or renovation.
Lighting specialist Guy van der Walt of Hoi P’loy says: “Gone are the days when kitchens were purely functional, food preparation spaces. These days the kitchen has become the heart of the home, with people gravitating towards this space, especially when entertaining guests. Sharing the cooking experience is a special part of any social meal. As such, the perfect kitchen requires a mix of functional and mood lighting.”
Our experts share some key considerations when incorporating lighting in your kitchen design.
