DESIGN IDEA: A BRIGHT IDEA IN KITCHEN LIGHTING!

January 16, 2013
  • Share
modern kitchen with dark wood cabinets and counter

I like this lighting look in this modern kitchen. Dark wood cabinets and counters, counter to ceiling white subway tile backsplash, and simple bulb suspension pendant lights dangling from a metal bar that is mounted onto the ceiling.

To me, these simple Edison like bulbs in different shapes and sizes work both in form and function. They look good and they provide sufficient lighting over the kitchen sink work space…makes cooking and cleaning up a little more stylish I think.

A do it yourself (DIY) horizontal bulb light fixture of sorts.

Good idea…and good looking. Simple, clean, modern and a bit of a design surprise.

What do you think of this DESIGN IDEA?  Like or dislike.  Clearly I like.

Happy Wednesday!

    I love the look and would definitely be willing to incorporate this idea in my designs. This is actually a popular lighting trend here in the Seattle area! However, I have always questioned how is the illumination on a daily basis. Is it too bright?
    Anyone has an opinion on this?

The best parts of Paris might not be on your itineThe best parts of Paris might not be on your itinerary. 🇫🇷
Some of my favorite travel moments are the ones you don’t plan: the pretty street you turn onto, the café you notice while walking by, the building you stop to look at for no particular reason.
So if you’re planning a Paris trip, don’t fill every hour. Leave room to wander.

Sometimes the problem isn’t the work. It’s where ySometimes the problem isn’t the work. It’s where you’re doing it.
So today, I took my work somewhere else. ☕️💻
A little change of scenery, a different view, a few hours away from my usual desk and somehow the workday felt a little lighter.
I’ve found that working somewhere else can be a nice reset when I’m feeling stuck, uninspired, or just too used to the same routine. It’s not necessarily about being more productive; sometimes it’s just about making the day feel different.
A little workday change of scenery with me. 🤍
Would you take your work somewhere else for the day?

A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. It tells you everything about the history of the space. The patina, the pattern, the way light moves across it. These are the rooms that prove good bones never go out of style.
What’s your favorite parquet pattern?

Designer Emma Donnersberg took her own Paris apartment in the 7th arrondissement and used it to rewrite the rules — classical bones, contemporary everything else. Her Wave Sofa and U&Me Table anchor the living room in organic curves. In the kitchen, a green ceramic-wrapped island does the heavy lifting for color against all that neutral stone. And the dining room? A Carrara travertine fireplace that turns stone into the whole point of the room.
Curved, curated, and completely hers. 🤍
Save this for your next renovation moodboard.
