The interior design trends of 2020 are expected to advance in 2021. Expect to see more versatile and technological fixtures geared towards blending the living room with the kitchen. While the year is still in the inception stage, homeowners are already showing interest in an island kind of workspace. Interior designers are implementing new styles of complete integration of technical elements. While minimalism remains the ideal design, particular attention focuses on the kitchen lighting design without forgetting functionality and ease of use. Check out the most relevant fittings for this year.
A. Focal point lighting
The ceiling lighting is likely to be the main focus in most rooms, including the cooking area. Besides their functional role, elegant and lavish light fittings have something unique to contribute to every design style. If thoughtfully planned, bold ceiling lights can be the focal point of any type of kitchen. They don’t have to be designed last, no matter the size of the room.
B. Invisible light sources
Hidden lighting fixtures with particular attention to quality are a major trend in 2021. Certain LEDs are made to produce a hidden effect. Embedded and bus systems make kitchen lighting more functional while essential accessories, e.g., transformers and other units, are getting smaller and sleeker by day. This makes it possible to augment the architecture with lighting systems. In which case light streams from above or kitchen sides, though the sources cannot be seen. Hidden light sources come in various forms such as:
• Multi-level lighting
• Recessed fixtures on a low ceiling
• Floor lamps
• Positional luminaires with blurry light
Invisible lighting is a perfect way to bring the desired atmosphere to a kitchen area. It also boosts the architectural layout of the tabletops.
C. Mixed and matched lighting
Expect to see a unique combination of materials, styles, and finishes. Gold and oil-rubbed bronze is a good example of the mix and match concept. The use of smooth and hammered metals also counts. It is all about breaking away from the traditional styles of lighting and expanding the whole lighting perspective.
D. Geometry
There are good reasons designers are suggesting sculptural light fixtures to create conspicuous spots in the kitchen. Floor lamps in rectangular, oval, or cylindrical shapes have a way of creating illustrative shades. Repeated patterns in straight lines can make a tight space seem bigger.
Each kitchen lighting design fixture offers a unique value. This year, do not limit your kitchen illumination to a single bulb. Opt for high-tech and reflective sources, especially in the working areas. You can then fix pendants with different textures on the dining tables. Express your personality with accent lighting for a relaxed atmosphere that every guest will admire.
