For this reason, today we will go through some<strong> practical advice<\/strong> to illuminate a modern kitchen just like a specialist would do.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>How to illuminate your kitchen: giving value to important elements<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>My first word of advice is to <strong>choose the most significant focus points<\/strong> of your kitchen and then imagine how you would like to emphasize them with the help of lighting items. Let\u2019s say, for example, that you have a kitchen with a central island unit, an element that recently has really become a must-have even when spaces are not wide. In this case you will have to choose an <strong>elegant and impressive design chandelier<\/strong> that can exalt your modern kitchen even more.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;106482&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;106485&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>Images from Illusion Collection by Patrizia Volpato<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]If instead you are looking for a <strong>more sober style<\/strong>, yet still tailormade, the right selection could become a series of <strong>pendant modules<\/strong> which, placed along the length of the island, <strong>illuminate and also furnish the room<\/strong> at the same time.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;76791&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;76792&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>Images from Crypto Collection by Patrizia Volpato<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Another interesting alternative is to choose some <strong>ceiling lamps<\/strong> that <strong>add value<\/strong> to the area where we place them, yet without being too intrusive. This is a good choice should we want to <strong>focus our attention<\/strong> on other areas of the kitchen, such as the <strong>table<\/strong> or the <strong>living room<\/strong>, when considering an open space.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;79130&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;106488&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>Images from Sfera Collection by Patrizia Volpato<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>How to illuminate your kitchen: defining the dining table<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another <strong>significant aspect<\/strong> of a kitchen certainly is the <strong>area around the table<\/strong>, which I believe really looses much of its scenic impact without a chandelier. In this case there are no right and no wrong choices for the chandelier, however, we must keep in mind <strong>some rules<\/strong>. The important thing is that the chandelier is proportioned to the table on top of which it will be installed and that it is <strong>compliant with minimum heights, <\/strong>that is starting from 70 cm from the table top. Moreover, do not forget that it must be <strong>in accordance with the environment<\/strong> where you will install it, both as for the materials as well as for the style.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;106492&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;106495&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>Images from Iride Collection by Patrizia Volpato<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In this example there is a beautiful <strong>modular chandelier<\/strong>, with many elements that create a <strong>game of heights and reflections<\/strong> and that emphasize the colours of the surrounding space.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;106498&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;106501&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>Images from Luna Nuova Collection by Patrizia Volpato<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In this other example instead, we see a very <strong>elegant horizontal element<\/strong>, with simple yet evocative shapes, that perfectly recalls <strong>the style of the open space where it is placed<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>How to illuminate your kitchen: the importance of general lighting<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Just like as for any house environment, in the kitchen too we must think about a <strong>good general basic lighting<\/strong>.
