In pictures. Kitchen: the appliances and lighting that create the atmosphere!

  • Combine light sources to structure the space and create a tailored ambiance. Sleek LED pendant lights are placed above an island or countertop to provide overall lighting. For more direct light, add adjustable spotlights that target preparation areas. By mixing shapes and light intensities, your ambiance will be dynamic and functional. Photo SieMatic

  • LED strips can be integrated under wall units or along shelves for discreet, targeted lighting. Choose a neutral or slightly warm white light for a natural look, perfect for meal preparation. In addition to providing glare-free lighting, these light strips enhance the feeling of lightness in suspended furniture. You can extend them into niches or display cabinets to highlight dishes or decorative objects. Photo Lago
  • The retractable extraction system integrated into the hob replaces the suspended hood and opens up the view. Pair it with a hob with a sophisticated design: aligned cooking zones, black glass or brushed stainless steel surface... This discreet and technical duo is particularly suitable for open kitchens. By eliminating overhead volumes, your atmosphere is more fluid and the kitchen appears more modern. Photo Bora
  • Opt for built-in appliances with minimalist lines. Ovens, microwaves, espresso machines, and wine cellars can be integrated into a column or behind fronts that match the furniture. Choose handle-free models with touch-sensitive or retractable openings. You can also play the contrast card with black or steel appliances integrated into light wood or colored lacquered furniture.

  • To enhance visual unity, match your large appliances to your lighting fixtures. If your kitchen has a vintage style, reflect its palette across all elements. In a Scandinavian kitchen, opt for white or pastel appliances paired with softly lined lighting fixtures. The goal is to avoid visual disruptions and create overall harmony by playing on the repetition of materials or colors. Photo Cuisine Plus

  • The hood can disappear, or become a decorative element. Opt for a colorful decorative wall-mounted hood, a matte black version for a contemporary feel, or a copper model for a warm touch. Lift-up models are very popular. Installed in an inclined version, they free up the view and facilitate movement while maintaining effective suction power. Photo Brico Depot
  • If you install a range cooker, its design, inspired by traditional models, asserts itself as a centerpiece. Choose it in colored enamel or stainless steel for a more professional effect. Its retro or neo-retro style guides the entire decor: framed furniture, porcelain handles, cement tile backsplash, or brass lighting. Photo La Cornue
  • Brands now offer complete ranges of vintage-style appliances: kettles, toasters, food processors, and refrigerators come in bright red, powder pink, mint green, curry yellow, or pastel blue. Mix and match them to create a bold retro feel, playing on their rounded shape and chrome details. This style fits well in light-colored kitchens or those with a fifties feel. Photo Smeg & Fiat

To successfully decorate your kitchen, consider lighting and choose appliances that complement your style. Here's how current trends are giving these essential functional appliances a decorative role.
