Lighting | Kitchen

Dining room lighting. Everyone loves to create ambience over the dining room table. But there are practically as many light fixtures to choose from as there are snowflakes.

Q

Wall effects. Sconces in other areas can create ambience and amazing effects. This wall doesn’t even need art on it because of the pattern of the light from the sconces.

Q

Toe-kick lighting. Don’t think that adding lights to your toe-kicks is a frivolous, aesthetics-only decision. Strip lighting at the underside of base cabinets is a great way to create a nightlight that looks fabulous.

Q

Track lighting. Track lighting is a great way to illuminate multiple areas with wiring for only one electrical box. There are tons of great-looking track lights available these days, but if you’re not a fan, try recessing the track into the ceiling. It creates a cool architectural detail while keeping the functionality.

Another option is to speak with a cabinetmaker about routing a channel to recess LED strip lighting.

Q

Undercabinet lighting. A simple valance on the underside of your cabinets will not properly hide the cord for lighting. Plan ahead and have your millworker build a false bottom to conceal the wires.
