The kitchen has always been the backdrop of our routines. It is the place where aromas and flavours come to life, the room where we gather at the table with friends and family to spend time together. It is around a table in the kitchen that you breathe conviviality in all its essence and where functionality plays a fundamental role.
As a task area, where you not only sit down to savour precious moments of relaxation but also prepare recipes and eat meals, the table needs uniform and well-distributed brightness.
To meet your client’s needs, follow our design suggestions, and we will accompany you step by step in choosing the most suitable designer lamps to illuminate the kitchen table.
Correctly illuminating the kitchen table means ensuring optimal lighting at the centre of the room and outlining the aesthetic profile by installing one or more lighting design solutions in which style and functionality coexist in perfect balance.

Therefore, the main objective is to make the table the focal point of your kitchen lighting design project, creating a unique atmosphere around it.
As a surface of interest, the table must enjoy optimal lighting that can ensure excellent visibility and at the same time delimit the area, making it intimate and comfortable.
Before selecting the lamp models to be installed above the kitchen table, we advise you to assess the height of the ceiling carefully. The choice of the most suitable solution varies according to the height of the ceiling, precisely the distance between it and the surface to be illuminated.

For example, versatile and never banal suspension lamps are the most commonly used solutions to provide light to rooms with high or medium height ceilings, while in the case of spaces with low ceilings, ceiling lights or recessed lamps are often chosen.
Evaluating the shape and size of the table does not directly determine the choice of the lamp but could be of great help to you.
For example, the illumination of a round table does not require the installation of the same number of lamps that might be needed to illuminate a long, rectangular table. Furthermore, considering the table's dimensions, you will be able to identify the most suitable models to play on contrasts of shapes and sizes, thus enriching the aesthetic potential of the entire area.
It is always better not to overdo it when it comes to illuminating small tables. In this case, you could opt for a single designer lamp for the kitchen table or choose an important chandelier, taking into consideration the size and shape of the table.
In both cases, the lighting source will have to guarantee both uniform brightness and add a note of style to the furnishing complex, without weighing it down.
Concerning long tables, you could install multiple lighting sources in a sequence above the table.
On the one hand, you'll get an aesthetic composition with an impactful lighting design; on the other hand, by introducing more light points you will ensure visibility and distributed lighting along the entire surface.
