Until you see a kitchen like Miley Cyrus's, the importance of kitchen lighting can easily go overlooked. In many new kitchens, recessed lighting is the norm, and while there's nothing necessarily wrong with these fixtures, they do risk feeling uninspired (and, in some cases, less functional than pendant alternatives). This is where the art of task lighting comes into play, and Miley's kitchen is one of the finest examples.
Designed by her mother, Tish Cyrus, Miley's kitchen makes a case for monochromatic spaces – proving that a black-and-white color palette doesn't need to feel dull or uninspired. While her zebra-printed chairs (much like these from Wayfair) make a statement that's hard to overlook, her strategic kitchen lighting is similarly crucial to the space's sucsess.
