Using dark colors for such a key part of an interior can often result in a heavy and blocked-off look. That\u2019s why this kitchen has white countertops, cabinet doors, and a light gray backsplash. The white scheme ensures the light can reflect even in areas, like the kitchen, that are furthest from a window.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Modern Open Concept Kitchen Lighting<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-31543 size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"749\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Modern-open-concept-kitchen-with-white-cabinets.jpg\" alt=\"Modern open concept kitchen with white cabinets\" class=\"wp-image-31543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Modern-open-concept-kitchen-with-white-cabinets.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Modern-open-concept-kitchen-with-white-cabinets-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Modern-open-concept-kitchen-with-white-cabinets-768x575.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Modern open concept kitchen with white cabinets \u2013 <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/?from=blog-BAopenconceptkitchenandlivingroom-cap9\"><strong>Decorilla<\/strong><\/a> <\/span>3D rendering<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lighting is important in any given space \u2013 it makes the difference between a stark interior and an inviting one. And a kitchen is no different. In fact, layered light is a top kitchen trend because of its practicality, not only due to its appealing aesthetic.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Following the three-layer rule, this modern open concept kitchen design has recessed ceiling lights and striking globe pendants that provide general light. And finally, under cabinet lighting provide task as well as accent light.
