TRENDS
INTERIOR INFLUENCES ON LIGHTING
Industry observations made by the American
Lighting Association show how design trends
are infl uencing lighting choices in the kitchen.
Among its fi ndings:
Countertops Impact Lighting. While granite
is still used in entry- and mid-level homes, most
high-end countertops are now quartz-based, with
matte finishes remaining in vogue. Specifying
a leathered fi nish alleviates the tricky business
of providing adequate illumination in kitchens
without causing glare from glossy countertops.
Dark Appliances Require More Light.
While a black stainless fi nish on appliances eliminates
unsightly fi ngerprints, it soaks up light,
creating the need for additional illumination in
the surrounding space. Black stainless has lower
refl ectance than white or stainless-steel appliances,
making the room appear darker.
Taller Ceilings Need Taller Fixtures. Over
the past decade, residential ceiling heights have
risen, with 9 feet becoming the accepted minimum
height. It's not uncommon for North American
homes to have ceilings 10 to 12 feet high. Th is
condition requires taller sconces and taller chandeliers
to fi ll the additional space. Designers need
to note that this is not simply a question of physical
or spatial proportion - the quantity and quality
of light itself should be carefully considered.

collaborated with Valcucine
at EuroCucina 2024. This
display shows how light can
do double duty as an artistic
element and a functional one.
