Let's talk under cabinet lighting. 💡 We've said it before, and we'll say it again — when it comes to remodelling a space in your home, lighting matters! Most of our kitchen project clients are going from no under-cabinet lighting, or they've had the big fluorescent tubes from the 80s and 90s. So, they're often surprised by the many options now available. The most common options include: 👉 puck lighting (pot lights) 👉 linear lights (strips of tiny bulbs in a casing or one single bulb) 👉 LED light strips Some are dimmable, some are wired, some aren't wired, some can be recessed, and some can't. 🤯 It's important to chat about your preferences with your contractor and designer to ensure your overall kitchen plans and cabinet plans can accommodate the style you want. We like the LED strip lighting the best because it gives the most consistent amount of lighting, and it's dimmable. The pot light style is a close second in our book because they can be recessed in the cabinets without any wiring showing, so if your cabinet design includes a minimal valence, these can be a great option for a seamless look. But, at the end of the day, it's crucial to pick what YOU like.
