The best choice you could make for lighting your quartz countertops are LED lights whose color temperature matches the color scheme of your countertops with minimal glare.
Let’s talk some more about the best lighting for quartz countertops.
Advice on Lighting
There are a few challenges you might run into when choosing the best lighting for your quartz countertops. Below are a few points that you should consider, and remember: Don’t just purchase any old lighting for your kitchen! Instead, take your time and make smart decisions.
The best lighting for your quartz countertops will help you:
- bring out the natural beauty of the countertops,
- eliminate dark spaces in the kitchen,
- provide enough lighting to get tasks done,
- reduce glare on your countertops.
Lighting is what can bring out the gorgeous, fine details of your countertop. If your quartz slab has intricate sparkles, crystals, or veins, then the right light can make them especially noticeable. It should be your goal to highlight these features of the countertop and draw people’s attention to what makes your quartz unique.
Under-Cabinet Lighting
The most important lighting for your kitchen is the under-cabinet lighting that you select to go over your countertops. You can get creative here and select a variety of temperatures—different from the lights that you have on the ceiling.
Linear lights are the preferred choice over puck lights because they diffuse light better and provide a lightness that’s even. Puck lights tend to result in the trading of light and dark spots on the countertop.
Island Lighting
The lighting that you have over your kitchen island is the second-most important lightning in the kitchen. Most people will choose a pendant light here, but others have special recessed lights for this area of the room.
Over the island, you need enough light to work, and you also want to make your quartz countertops pop. Consider using a dimmer with your lights so you can choose the amount of light that you get at any given moment, as this will make your life much easier.
The Best Light
Every kitchen is different, and quartz countertops have their share of variations. That means the right lighting for one kitchen and countertop pair might not be the best choice for the next pair.
