Expert advice on lighting design from Warendorf kitchens

Intelligent, aesthetic and exquisite – three words that capture the ethos behind Warendorf kitchen furniture. With 35 years’ experience in producing precision-designed, high quality kitchens, no one knows better than Warendorf how important good lighting is to the design of your dream kitchen. Jim Gettings, managing director for Warendorf in the UK, offers expert advice on how to combine efficient task lighting with ambient mood and feature lights.

“The kitchen should reflect the personality of those who use and enjoy it, but it also needs to be a safe environment to work in and this is where good lighting is so important. Our Midway system light panel provides both mood and worktop illumination, where it’s needed most. The new LED-lit glass back panels can also transform this area behind the worksurface into a colourful display niche, with soft tones of blue, green and red to harmonise with your mood and time of day.”

“You can personalise your kitchen further by introducing the Moodlight Concept, which can be used to illuminate cupboards, drawers and pull-outs when opened. You should also consider integrated aluminium strips with LEDs to highlight interior storage along with elegant lighting strips around the rim of a show-stopping island unit. With LED lighting you can choose your favourite colour or they can be programmed to a sequence of changing colours.”
