5 tips to help you choose a pendant for your gourmet area
When choosing a pendant for the gourmet area, it is necessary to consider the durability of the piece and the comfort provided. In order not to regret your choice, check out the tips from architect Tatiana Marques, who understands a lot about this subject:
- Choose the appropriate material: In this area, cooking is common, consequently, there is a lot of fat in the air, so it is important to choose materials that are easy to clean: "Avoid finishes with natural fibers and fabrics, because they can stain and are difficult to maintain. Glass, metal, and synthetic fiber pendants are the most ideal", Tatiana recommends.
- Define the intention of your project: "if you want a more dramatic environment, you can exaggerate in the size and colors of your pendant. for a more delicate environment, opt for white milky glass pieces," suggests the architect.
- Comfortable lighting: To create a cozy feeling in the gourmet area, Tatiana indicates that the pendant receives a lamp with a voltage of 3000, since the piece is usually much closer to the circulation than common spots.
- Spots to complement: Most pendants do not completely illuminate the space, therefore, it is recommended to add inlaid or overlapping spots in the project: "I usually complement the lighting with spots, especially in work areas and countertops, with a temperature of 6000, because, as these are areas where knives and food are handled, it is necessary that the visibility be perfect", explains the professional.
- Proper installation: "Pendants should be installed 80 cm away from tabletops and counters so as not to obstruct the view of those who are seated, as well as not to be too close to the ceiling," Tatiana concludes.
With a pendant, your gourmet area will become even more sophisticated, and you will have a cozy corner full of personality to receive your guests.
