Accent lighting: Decorative or architectural light that adds warmth and depth

3) Popular kitchen lighting types

Ceiling downlights: Even, low-glare room lighting

Pendant lights: Feature lighting over islands and dining areas

Under-cabinet LEDs: Worktop lighting that removes shadows

Plinth lighting: Subtle low-level glow for evenings and night use

In-cabinet lighting: Display lighting for glass-front units

LED strip/cove lighting: Soft, premium ambience along cornice lines or shelves
