Lighting plays a crucial role in creating a modern European kitchen with sleek lines and minimalist design. Opt for minimalist lighting fixtures that complement the overall aesthetic of the kitchen. Consider pendant lights with clean and simple designs, or recessed lighting for a clean and uncluttered look. Use lighting strategically to highlight key areas like the kitchen island or the backsplash. Incorporate natural light as much as possible by having large windows or skylights to create a bright and airy atmosphere.
