Kitchens are arguably one of the busiest places in the home. One light source is not enough. With the addition of wall lights to specific areas, you can easily make the space work better for cooking, cleaning, and even family gatherings.
The most suitable wall lights help illuminate key areas, reduce strain while prepping meals, and add personality to the room. So, here are the five best wall lights that would instantly enhance your kitchen’s design and function.
5 Best Wall Lights for the Kitchen
1. Midnight Gloss Wall
Our first piece is designed with flexibility in mind as it is perfect for lighting up specific areas along kitchen counters or islands. Its movable shade and adjustable hinge let you direct light exactly where it's needed.
It’s also a great lighting solution for dim spaces beneath shelves, ensuring that every corner of your workspace is well-lit. This fixture is part of our Midnight Collection featuring contemporary black and copper shades which can be utilized in spaces like the living room or bedroom.
2. Vintage Arc Wall Sconce
A well-lit sink area makes dishwashing and food prep easier, and this vintage-style wall light is an excellent choice for this space. Pairing two of these above the sink creates symmetry while drawing attention to your faucet and cabinetry.
Its dome-shaped shade and matte black finish also add an interesting nostalgic vibe to the whole cleaning area. For a cohesive design, match this sconce’s dark finish with your tap and cupboard handles. This small detail ties the kitchen’s look together effortlessly.
3. Ribbon Twist Wall Light
Lighting in the kitchen shouldn’t always be about function. It should also be about atmosphere, and that is exactly what this artistic fixture brings to the table. Use it as an accent lighting to highlight a feature wall or a decorative backsplash.
Its upward and downward glow creates an eye-catching contrast between light and shadow, adding visual depth to the room. The interesting twisted design of the fixture itself also contributes to bringing extra character to your kitchen.
4. Minimalist Line Sconce Black
In a busy kitchen, simplicity is key. This wall light offers a clean, modern look that blends seamlessly into any space. While it is simply a black-colored slim lighting, it offers a bright radiance for both open spaces and dark corners of the kitchen.
Here’s an unconventional use for this thin structured fixture: Set it under shelves or inside cabinets as these areas are generally dim. With its lightweight build, it would not take up any space and provide much-needed illumination in these specific areas.
5. Cage Glow Wall Sconce
With its vintage-style cage design and exposed Edison bulb, this last wall light brings a touch of nostalgia to the kitchen. This light is ideal for spaces where you want both warmth and visibility, such as a breakfast nook or a cozy corner near the pantry.
The open-cage design allows for a broad spread of light perfect for providing general lighting to the space, in support of the main light source. It also has some gold accents adding to its classic visual appeal.
Create a More Dynamic Kitchen
Make every task you do in the kitchen easier and more convenient by strategically placing wall lights in key areas. Use a combination of task and accent lighting to further enhance both the function and aesthetic appeal of the space.
Sweeten the vibe of your kitchen by choosing the right wall lights that would define different zones and brighten up even the darkest corners of this busy room.
