The kitchen deserves to be shown in a special light, as it is a space for cooking, working and socialising. More so than in other rooms, the basic lighting set-up here not only enriches the ambiance. It also makes cooking together safer and ensures that you can see everything when handling pointed or sharp kitchen utensils. With the versatile lights from our product range, you can set the scene for your kitchen with atmospheric light and find the right lamps for every occasion.

The right lighting for your kitchen

Stylish and functional kitchen lighting usually features a central ceiling light. It illuminates the kitchen appliances and worktops from above and provides a bright light. In addition, it can be supplemented with accented lighting with several small light sources. Beautiful wall lights and LED spotlights help you create targeted lighting effects and a pleasant atmosphere.

Ceiling lights

Ceiling lights distribute the light evenly and provide reliable illumination for the worktop on the kitchen island. Multi-lamp ceiling spotlights are an especially beautiful option, letting you cook and bake at ease. Small recessed spotlights help to deliver optimal light distribution as well.

Hanging lights

A hanging light provides targeted lighting above the kitchen island. Multi-lamp pendant lights and models with shades perfectly highlight the dining table with their glare-free light. We recommend that you maintain a minimum distance of 60 centimetres between the lamp and the table top. This reduces the risk of injury and also creates lighting that is bright, but not too harsh, allowing you to enjoy your eating experience. Paulmann offers hanging and pendant lights with or without a shade. Opting for a hanging light above the kitchen island has a number of advantages. It provides a glare-free light and is a visual highlight thanks to its expressive design.

Down lights

Our down lights are the perfect way to illuminate work surfaces. They provide shadow-free lighting that supports safe working in the kitchen. In terms of visual appeal, our work lights offer an impressively subtle design, which blends nicely with any furnishing style. We recommend equipping our practical down lights with dimmable fixtures. This allows you to vary the brightness of the light as you need it. Want your down lights to function as feature lighting as well? Then add in our LED strips to create an enchanting lighting design. Thanks to the colour changing function, you can quickly transform work lights into an impressive lighting scheme for your next cocktail party. Thanks to the IP44 protection class, your lamp is fully protected from small splashes of water, which are common in rooms such as the kitchen.

Wall lights

Beautiful wall lamps set great accents as small lights and can illuminate even the darkest corners. Our wall lamps are not only a good idea for additional decorative lighting, they can also fully replace a central lamp thanks to their background lighting, especially for evening get-togethers. Our product range includes wall lights in a number of design variants – from rustic to modern. Create extraordinary lighting highlights with our new “LumiTiles” LED tile panels. This modern series beautifies your kitchen walls with warm white light and impressive luminous colours.

Turn your kitchen into the heart of the home

The kitchen, which often serves as the heart of any home, is more than just a room with an island. It is the focal point within your own four walls and a kitchen/living room where you like to sit down with your loved ones. But only the right lighting can give your kitchen that cosy feel. Here we'll explain how to make it more inviting with light.

Light for any activity

Since a kitchen sometimes needs to be cosy and sometimes brightly lit, we suggest that you combine a variety of lights and use different luminous colours. Bright, clear light in a neutral white colour is ideal for illuminating the worktop. After all, this is where you prepare ingredients and need bright light to enhance your focus and concentration. By contrast, warm white light works best for the dining area. Use decorative lights such as wall lamps – their diffused light provides perfect background lighting for a cosy get-together.

Lighting that sets accents

Decorative accent lighting is the ideal choice for open-plan kitchens when creating a selective lighting design. In addition to wall lights, small “hidden” light sources provide the ideal illumination for cupboards, shelves or even works of art. Want to accentuate your cabinet fronts or illuminate a cabinet from the inside? With our direct cabinet lighting, you can present your kitchen equipment and make an impression with stunning lighting effects. Our small yet refined LED spotlights are just as impressive. Depending on the model, they can be attached to the ceiling or cupboards. A single spotlight alone can make a big difference and can create a striking accent in a dark corner.

Kitchen lighting with LED and RGB

With a carefully selected luminous colour, your kitchen will look its best for any occasion. Use our LED strips and create great colour effects with RGB panels. Whether as effective background lighting or as an eye-catcher in the space: Thanks to our decorative LED strip systems and modern lighting accents, even a kitchen with discrete colours can become a colourful space.

Discover wonderful kitchen lights

Whether innovative LED strips, rustic pendant lights or modern down lighting: Combined with our versatile kitchen lights, you can create a special feel-good atmosphere for your kitchen. Enhance your dining area with a variety of lights and make your cooking and social evenings even more enjoyable.
