The overall lighting of the kitchen is the same as that of an open kitchen. We recommend that you choose cabinet lights as local lighting for your hanging kitchen lamps.

Can warm lights be used in the kitchen?

Honestly, I don't recommend it. Although the kitchen also needs to be warm, the brightness of the warm color light is not enough, it is more suitable for the bedroom. We know, our kitchen needs brighter cool white light. If you want to add warm light to your kitchen, you can install it at the same time.
