How to Coordinate Kitchen Lighting With Faucet Finishes 

Mistakes to Avoid

You might be tempted to pick out each piece of your kitchen or bathroom one at a time. But that can lead to several complications, two of which are sizing issues and a lack of cohesive design. We recommend keeping a few things in mind as you shop: the number of finishes you’ll be using, scale, and lighting, which has a direct impact on the cohesiveness of the room.

Steps to Follow for Greatest Success

1. First, choose a material for the counter, the sink basin type, and map out the size/layout of the area.
2. Choose the lighting. Ensure the light fixtures that you choose support the size of the room, the style, and also take any natural light into consideration. More on this later.
3. Choose the faucet. It’s not just the finish that matters here, it’s also the layout and design of the faucet. Is the vanity or counter already drilled for the placement and size of the faucet?
4. Review how it looks together before you make a final decision. Don’t place your orders until you look at each item side by side, along with wall color, and flooring. Is the look cohesive? Does it match the style of the building and other rooms? Decide now for fewer problems later.

Diving Deeper into Lighting Choices

Have fun with it! Kitchen lighting encompasses more than recessed lighting fixtures; don’t be afraid to include fun elements in your kitchen design for a homey feel. Take lifestyle into consideration as well. For active residents, recessed lighting is the practical choice. For mood lighting, choosing two pendants to hang over the island can provide you with beautiful lighting and a statement piece. Pair these with some additional recessed lighting or just hang lights in work zones. Wall sconces add ambient lighting, perfect for entertaining or just a relaxing cooking experience. 

How to Pair Lighting with a Faucet

For bright lighting, use a matte or brushed finish for your fixture. This will help to avoid any unwanted glare or reflections. For example, the Pioneer Single Handle Pre-Rinse Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet in brushed nickel is ideal for a busy kitchen. For a modern style with a focus on natural or simple ambient lighting, try the i3 Olympia Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet in chrome for a clean, modern kitchen. Looking for a little more fun? To make a statement in the kitchen without drawing too much attention away from bold statement lighting choices, go with the Accent Olympia Two Handle Kitchen Faucet. The elegant design and unique finish is an excellent addition to a fun-filled kitchen.
