Title from: A thousand years, Christina Perri

~

For as long as you could remember, Seth had always been in your life. Two peas in a pod, two goofy little kids, always attached at the hip. Even as hockey became more and more of a fixture in his life, you were right there in the stands, cheering him on at the top of your lungs as his biggest fan. You were his staunchest supporter, always giving him reassurance when his self-confidence cracked or faltered. He was your loyal protector, pushing away anyone that was ever mean to you, including shitty boyfriends. Everyone knew in your small suburb in Winnipeg that where one of you went, the other was sure to follow.

So it was exactly no surprise to your parents (and his) when you followed him down to Raleigh the moment his entry level contract was signed.

You didn’t know what you would do without his energetic personality lighting up your day, the ultimate hype-man even before dates that both of you knew weren’t going to end well, or his sweet smiles in a terrible morning after a fantastic night out with his team. You didn’t know what you would do without his built arms wrapped around you on the sofa while you watched awful reality tv or cheesy movies, broad shoulders perfectly places to rest your head on, and especially waking up after a shared nap together, cementing his self-proclaimed King of Naps title.

Or seeing him wake up from a nap by himself, and his whole face lighting up when he saw you there too.

For as long as you could remember, you’d been in love with Seth, and there was nothing you could do about it. You’d seen the girls Seth went on dates with, and they were nothing like you. Even when the two of you were going on your first dates when you were barely teenagers, his ‘type’ seemed to be the complete opposite of you – so you’d always endeavoured to make sure the guys you dated were the opposite of him. It was the only way to preserve your heart, to keep your incredible friendship with Seth as wholesome and solid as you needed it to be, and not once had you ever messed that up.

Seth Jarvis was the best person in your life and you never wanted that to change. Not for anything. That didn’t mean that you didn’t know how hard your life was going to be when he eventually found his soulmate – but that was a problem for future you, and you refused to do anything but live in the moment.

Speaking of living in the moment…

“Hey Seth, do these shoes go with this dress?”

Living with your best friend really did have its perks – you could always guarantee an honest opinion on your outfit from him.

“Hmm, you can’t go wrong with a little black dress and nice black heels, but where is he taking you?”

“Does that matter?”

“Well yeah, you like those shoes and I know you don’t want them to get ruined by a sticky floor,” Seth pointed out.

He really did know you so well.

“He said he’s taking me out to dinner, but he didn’t tell me where or what the venue was like,” you admitted.

You ignored Seth rolling his eyes.

“The dress is gorgeous but I would change your shoes if you aren’t sure. Maybe those black ankle boots? Not too casual but not too fancy,” Seth suggested.

Incredible.

“You are amazing,” you grinned, jogging back to your room to kick your shoes off.

“And don’t you forget it!”

You just laughed at his shout across the apartment, pulling on the ankle boots he suggested. Just as you thought, he was right. With a swipe of lipgloss,  you were ready, so you grabbed your leather jacket and headed back out of your room.

“Hey, sweetheart?”

“Yeah Seth?” you asked, spinning on your heel.

“Have fun tonight. You look amazing – don’t let him forget that,” Seth said seriously, making you laugh, “And if you need anything, anything at all, call me.”

“You’re going to be my knight in shining armour?” you teased.

“With a guy you don’t know taking you out for a first date on St Patrick’s Day? Absolutely,” Seth mused.

Well you couldn’t fault him there.

“Wish me luck!”

“Luck.”

~

If only you’d know just how right Seth would be.

“Seth?” you whimpered, hiccupping into your phone.

“Woah, hey, what’s wrong?”

“I know it’s only been three hours, but can you pick me up?” you pleaded.

“Of course, I’ll leave right now. Three hours or three minutes, it doesn’t matter. Send me your location pin, but stay on the line?”

You just sniffed, nodding even though you knew he couldn’t see you, doing as he asked.

“Okay, I have it. That’s a real shitty bar, sweetheart.”

You choked out a sob. He had no idea. “Real shitty date too.”

“What did he do?”

You could hear him running out of your shared apartment, down the stairs rather than waiting for the elevator, and your heart ached with how willingly he dropped his peaceful evening just to help you.

“He lied about taking me out to dinner. Instead he took me to a bar where a bunch of his friends were, and when I asked him why he lied he told me he wanted to celebrate St Patrick’s Day with his buddies and thought I could come along. Which, fine, okay, he thought I would get on with his friends, so I went along with it. Most of his friends were fine, welcoming even, but they were getting drunker and rowdier and I don’t mind that if I’m with people I know and trust like you or your friends, but with strangers? No way. And then he…”

You trailed off, groaning at the memory, Seth just cursing under his breath. You could hear him driving, not even caring for once that he was probably breaking the speed limit. You just wanted him here.

“What did he do?”

“He started getting handsy. Slapping my ass, pulling me into his body with an arm around my waist, all of that shit, making his friends laugh even though it was obvious I was uncomfortable. But then he grabbed at my boobs and-”

“He fucking what?”

Over all the years of Seth protecting you from nasty dates and boyfriends, you’d never heard him so angry. Never.

“He groped me, in front of everyone. But I shoved him away immediately, I swear!” you insisted.

“Hey, I believe you sweetheart. I know that stuff makes you uncomfortable. I swear I’m going to kill him, I’ll-”

“No, no, I don’t want you to get in trouble, okay? I left the bar already,” you said firmly.

“You left the bar? But your location says…”

“I’m outside the bar, still in eyesight of the bouncer just in case, but I’m outside. I walked out the bar because I couldn’t stand to be near him after him threw the remainder of his beer at me for rejecting him.”

“He fucking what?!”

Okay, that was the angriest you’d ever heard him.

“Told you he was a shitty date,” you mumbled, sniffing again as your eyes stung with tears once more.

“This is not your fault. He was an absolute asshole and none of this is on you.”

“Just my luck, right?” you said, huffing out a bitter laugh.

Seth just cursed under his breath again, continuing to mutter about how men were shit and you deserved better and all the things that usually would put such a smile on your face…but right now it just made you want to be home, safe with him, curled up in his arms. Nothing felt better than being with Seth and it was only because of the few drinks that you had that you allowed yourself to think like this. Thankfully, it couldn’t have been more than 10 minutes before you saw a familiar car screeching into the parking lot, and you finally felt like you could breathe.

He pulled to a stop only metres away from you, and you wasted no time in walking over to him, even as he got out of the car and slammed his door shut, jogging over to meet you halfway.

“Shit, sweetheart, look at you,” Seth scowled.

You groaned softly as he took in your blurred mascara and beer-soaked top, and grabbed his hand to break his attention.

“Can we just go? I want to get as far away from here as possible.”

You rested a hand on his chest, gently guiding him backwards towards his car, out of earshot of the bouncer and anyone else who deigned to leave, Seth’s fuming expression never leaving the dive bar you were walking away from.

“Is he still inside? Is that asshole still in there?” Seth demanded.

“Hey, no, come on, leave it. He’s not worth it,” you pleaded.

“He doesn’t get to treat you like that and get away with it. No-one gets to treat you like that, you hear me? No-one.”

Your breath hitched in your throat and your body thrummed with heat at his furious words, his eyes wild in a way you’d only ever seen on the ice. His fists were clenched, his nostrils were flared, and his shoulders were squared, all the while his cheeks flushing with anger as well. It was only the brief flash of desperation across his face that let you know he wasn’t mad at you – no, this was Seth’s protective side coming out in full force, dialled up to 1000.

“Seth, I…”

You trailed off, running a hand through your hair as you struggled to find words to defend yourself, relying in his car to lean against and keep you upright. He might not have been mad at you, but it still didn’t feel good to know that your situation was making him react like this.

“It’s not like I go out of my way to date assholes,” you eventually managed, “they just seem to find me.”

“Shit, sweetheart, I’m not accusing you of anything. I just…”

He cut himself off, seeming to need a moment to think, and you waited silently for him to give you something. Anything. Eventually he cleared his throat, the wildness in his eyes replaced by an anguish that made your heart ache.

“I can’t take it anymore. I just wish you’d see what you could have, right in front of you.”

What?

What was he talking about?

Right in front of you?

The more seconds the silence stretched on, the more your confused thoughts swirled and the more frustrated Seth looked, until he groaned in frustration.

“I’m talking about me,” he said through gritted teeth, looking like he wanted to be literally anywhere else.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh shit.

“You?” you repeated, your voice cracking.

“Yeah and now I wish I’d never said a damn thing so can we please pretend that you’re really drunk instead of tipsy, and never talk about it again?” Seth muttered, avoiding your eyes.

As all of his words started to sink in, you found yourself shaking your head as decades-buried hope dared to surface.

“You’ve never said anything at all! You like me?” you said, needing him to say it again.

Seth huffed out a laugh, still not looking particularly comfortable.

“How could I say anything? I’m nothing like any of the guys you’ve ever dated,” he muttered.

“Because I purposely date guys that are nothing like you!” you shot back.

“What?”

You groaned as embarrassed heat filled your cheeks, turning your head away to give you a chance to save a scrap of dignity, but then Seth’s hand was cupping your face, gently turning you back to look at him properly. Never had he touched you like this, so delicately and with such purpose. His eyes were a storm, barely giving you anything to go on outside of the intensity, and it was all you could do to let out a shaky breath as he dropped his hand but stepped a little closer.

“I’m going to need you to give me a bit more than that, sweetheart,” Seth said, barely more than a murmur, edge of his voice a little rough, “What do you mean?”

“I purposely date guys that are nothing like you…because you’ve had my heart for longer than I care to remember. I never thought you could ever be interested in me because of the girls you date, and the thought of dating someone even a little bit similar to you was heartbreaking, so I just…went for the complete opposite. Clearly it’s been working out really well,” you said, choking off a bitter laugh as you finished.

Seth’s lips parted in surprise, and for once he was stunned into silence. It was only the fact that he hadn’t moved to step away that saved you from wanting to curl into a ball on the cold ground. Still, that didn’t stop the anguish from building inside of you like a volcano ready to erupt at the slightest provocation.

Eventually he let out a shaky breath, smiling weakly.

“We’ve wasted so much time,” he said softly, shaking his head.

What?

“We…have?” you asked, still in disbelief.

“We have.” Seth nodded, smiling at you in a way that encouraged you to finally smile back at him, giddy without being able to stop yourself, “You’re my goddamned soulmate, how could I ever want anyone but you? And knowing now that you’ve felt the same way all this time? It’s everything. I wish I could say I’ve been playing the long game but honestly I never thought you’d ever want me back. But we need to put a pin in this conversation until tomorrow.”

What? Why?

You didn’t know what was showing on your face but it made Seth laugh – a little deliriously, maybe, but a bright laugh that you were so used to all the same.

“You’ve been drinking, sweetheart. You’ve literally just ended a bad date covered in beer, as well as had quite an emotional night,” Seth explained.

“That still won’t change how I feel about you in the morning,” you pointed out.

His smile turned a little bashful, but definitely pleased, making the butterflies in your stomach riot.

“Then I look forward to hearing you say it again tomorrow. Just…let me take you home? Away from this gritty old bar parking lot?”

You nodded without hesitation, making him huff out a laugh again but take your hands.

“Take me home, Seth,” you murmured, squeezing his hands, barely able to believe the words coming out of your mouth.

With Seth’s wide grin, it looked like he could barely believe it either.

“We’re going to be amazing, you just wait.”

How Do I Choose the Right LED Accent Lights for Kitchen Cabinets?

Choosing the right LED accent lights for your kitchen cabinets can enhance both functionality and style. These lights not only brighten up dark spaces but also create a modern and elegant look in your kitchen. The first step is to consider the brightness and color temperature of the lights. LED lights come in various shades, from warm white to cool white. If you want a cozy atmosphere, opt for warm tones, while cool tones work best for a clean, modern feel.

Another factor to consider is the placement of the LED accent lights. Under-cabinet lighting is one of the most popular options as it helps illuminate countertops where you prepare food. You can also add lights inside glass cabinets to highlight decorative items like glassware or dishes. For a sleek look, strip LEDs or puck lights are ideal choices. These lights are energy-efficient and provide even lighting across the space.

When choosing lights, it’s also important to check for dimmable options. Dimmable LED accent lights allow you to adjust the brightness based on your needs, whether you’re cooking or creating ambiance for a dinner. Shopping during a lighting sale Canada event is a great way to find high-quality options at a more affordable price. Many lighting stores in Calgary Alberta offer a wide selection of LED fixtures suitable for both modern and traditional kitchens.

Lastly, if you’re renovating or upgrading other areas of your home, it’s a good idea to explore complementary lighting options like bathroom lighting Canada or statement fixtures for living areas. Stores like Starlight Lighting often carry versatile options that blend style with practicality, helping you create a unified design throughout your home. By focusing on brightness, placement, and style, you can find the perfect LED accent lights for your kitchen cabinets. These lights not only make your kitchen look beautiful but also provide the functionality you need for everyday use. Keep an eye out for deals and explore lighting stores in Calgary Alberta for the best options.

How Can You Choose the Right LED Light for Each Room

LED lighting has become a staple in modern homes, thanks to its energy efficiency, long lifespan, and design versatility. But when it comes to selecting the right LED lights for your home, it’s not always as simple as picking the first bulb you find.

Each room in your home serves a different purpose, and the lighting you choose can dramatically impact the ambiance, functionality, and overall design.

So, how can you choose the perfect LED light for every space in your home? Let’s break it down room by room to make your decision easier.

1. The Living Room: Balancing Functionality and Warmth

The living room is where you entertain guests, spend quality time with family, and unwind after a long day. The lighting here should be versatile, offering enough brightness for social gatherings while also creating a cozy atmosphere for relaxing evenings.

Tips for Choosing LED Lights for the Living Room:

Layered Lighting: Combine ambient lighting (like ceiling-mounted LED fixtures) with accent lighting (table or floor lamps) to create depth and warmth.

Dimmable LEDs: Use dimmable LED bulbs to adjust the brightness depending on the occasion. A bright setting works for reading or games, while a dim glow creates a relaxed vibe for movie nights.

Warm Color Temperatures: Opt for LED lights in the warm white range (2700K to 3000K) to make the space feel inviting and comfortable.

2. The Kitchen: Bright and Task-Oriented

The kitchen is a functional space where proper lighting is crucial. You need bright, focused light to prep, cook, and clean efficiently, but you don’t want it to feel harsh or clinical.

Tips for Choosing LED Lights for the Kitchen:

Under-Cabinet Lighting: Install LED strips or puck lights under cabinets to illuminate countertops and eliminate shadows while you work.

Cooler Color Temperatures: Use cool white LED bulbs (3500K to 4500K) for areas like countertops and islands, as they provide better visibility for detailed tasks.

Pendant Lighting for Style: If you have a kitchen island or dining nook, add pendant lights with LED bulbs to enhance both function and design.

3. The Bedroom: Soft and Relaxing

The bedroom is your personal sanctuary, and the lighting here should encourage relaxation and comfort. Harsh, overly bright lights can disrupt the soothing environment you want for winding down.

Tips for Choosing LED Lights for the Bedroom:

Warm and Dim Lighting: Use LED bulbs with a warm white color temperature (2700K) to create a calming atmosphere. Look for dimmable bulbs so you can adjust the brightness as needed.

Bedside Lamps: Incorporate LED bulbs with soft lighting in bedside lamps for reading or relaxing.

Accent Lighting: Use LED strips or recessed lights behind headboards or along shelves for a subtle and modern touch.

4. The Bathroom: Functional and Stylish

Bathroom lighting needs to strike a balance between practicality and aesthetics. You’ll want bright, focused lighting for tasks like shaving or applying makeup, but softer lighting for relaxing baths.

Tips for Choosing LED Lights for the Bathroom:

Vanity Lighting: Install LED bulbs with high color rendering (CRI 90+) around mirrors to ensure accurate visibility of skin tones and details.

Cool White Light: Use cool white LED bulbs (4000K to 5000K) for task lighting in the vanity area, as it provides clarity without being too harsh.

Waterproof LEDs: For showers or damp areas, choose waterproof LED fixtures rated for wet or damp locations to ensure safety and longevity.

5. The Home Office: Productivity with Clarity

The home office is all about productivity, so you need lighting that’s bright and functional without causing glare or strain on your eyes.

Tips for Choosing LED Lights for the Home Office:

Neutral to Cool Light: Opt for LED lights in the range of 4000K to 5000K to simulate daylight, which helps boost focus and energy.

Desk Lamps: Use an adjustable LED desk lamp with task-specific lighting for focused work areas.

Anti-Glare Lighting: Position overhead LED fixtures carefully to avoid glare on computer screens and work surfaces.

6. The Dining Room: Setting the Mood

Lighting in the dining room should create a welcoming and elegant atmosphere for meals and gatherings. This is a space where ambient and decorative lighting work best.

Tips for Choosing LED Lights for the Dining Room:

Pendant Lights or Chandeliers: Use LED bulbs in pendant fixtures or chandeliers to provide focused lighting over the dining table.

Dimmable Bulbs: Install dimmable LEDs so you can adjust the lighting for formal dinners or casual get-togethers.

Warm Light: Stick to warm white LEDs (2700K to 3000K) for a cozy, inviting feel.

7. Hallways and Entryways: Welcoming and Functional

Hallways and entryways are often overlooked when it comes to lighting, but they play a key role in creating first impressions and ensuring safety.

Tips for Choosing LED Lights for Hallways and Entryways:

Flush-Mount Fixtures: Choose ceiling-mounted LED lights for even illumination throughout the space.

Motion Sensors: Install LED lights with motion sensors for convenience and energy savings, especially in rarely-used hallways.

Accent Lighting: Use LED wall sconces or strips to highlight artwork or architectural features for added elegance.

8. Outdoor Spaces: Durable and Energy-Efficient

Outdoor areas like patios, porches, and gardens require durable lighting solutions that can withstand the elements while enhancing the aesthetic of your home.

Tips for Choosing LED Lights for Outdoor Spaces:

Weatherproof LEDs: Choose waterproof and durable LED fixtures for longevity and safety.

Pathway Lighting: Use LED stake lights or solar-powered LEDs to illuminate walkways.

Warm Outdoor Glow: Stick to warm white LEDs for a cozy and inviting atmosphere outside.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right LED light for each room can elevate your home's functionality, aesthetics, and comfort. By considering factors like brightness, color temperature, and purpose, you can tailor your lighting to meet the unique needs of every space. Whether it’s warm, dim lights for the bedroom or bright, task-oriented lighting for the kitchen, LEDs offer endless possibilities to enhance your home.

When it comes to designing a beautiful and functional space, lighting plays a crucial role, especially when it comes to custom cabinetry. Proper lighting not only enhances the aesthetics of your cabinets but also improves functionality, making it easier to find what you need and showcasing your kitchen or bathroom’s best features. In Vaughan, homeowners can take advantage of various cabinet lighting solutions to create an inviting and stylish environment. Here’s a guide to help you choose the right cabinet lighting options for your custom cabinets.

1. Under-Cabinet Lighting

Under-cabinet lighting is one of the most popular choices for illuminating custom cabinets, particularly in kitchens. This type of lighting is mounted underneath wall cabinets, providing direct light onto countertops. It helps eliminate shadows, making food preparation and cooking safer and more efficient. Options include:

LED Strips: Energy-efficient and available in various colors and intensities, LED strips are easy to install and can be cut to fit any cabinet length.

Puck Lights: These small, round fixtures can be installed to create a more focused light, ideal for highlighting specific areas or decorative items on shelves.

2. Interior Cabinet Lighting

For cabinets that showcase glass doors or open shelving, interior cabinet lighting is a fantastic way to draw attention to your favorite dishes, glassware, or decorative items. This type of lighting adds warmth and ambiance to your space. Consider these options:

LED Strip Lights: Installed along the edges of shelves, they provide a soft glow that highlights the contents without overwhelming the space.

Spotlights: Adjustable spotlights can be directed to illuminate specific items, perfect for showcasing collectibles or decorative displays.

3. Accent Lighting

Accent lighting can add drama and sophistication to your custom cabinets. It’s typically used to highlight architectural features or to create a focal point in a room. Here are some ideas:

Recessed Lighting: Installed in the ceiling or walls, recessed lights can focus on cabinets, creating a clean and modern look.

Wall Sconces: Placed on either side of cabinets or nearby walls, sconces can add a touch of elegance and create a layered lighting effect.

4. Task Lighting

Task lighting is essential in areas where detailed work is done, such as kitchens and home offices. By ensuring that the work surfaces are well-lit, you can enhance productivity and reduce eye strain. Consider these solutions:

Under-Cabinet Task Lights: Similar to under-cabinet lighting, these fixtures provide bright, direct light for tasks such as chopping, reading, or crafting.

Adjustable Desk Lamps: For home offices with custom cabinetry, adjustable lamps can provide focused light on specific tasks while adding style to the decor.

5. Dimmers and Smart Lighting

Incorporating dimmers into your cabinet lighting design allows you to adjust the brightness according to the time of day or mood. This flexibility is especially beneficial for creating a cozy atmosphere during evening gatherings. Smart lighting options also provide convenience, enabling you to control the lighting from your smartphone or through voice commands.

Lighting Solutions for Bright and Inviting Kitchen Spaces

When it comes to interior design, lighting is a fundamental element that can make or break the ambiance of a space. In the realm of kitchen design, lighting plays a crucial role in not only illuminating the area for practical tasks but also in creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere conducive to gatherings and culinary adventures. Follow these tips compiled by our interior designers in Mysore to transform your kitchen into a bright and inviting space that exudes both functionality and style.

The Importance of Proper Lighting in Kitchen Design

A well-lit kitchen is essential for various activities that take place in this bustling hub of the home. From meal preparation and cooking to dining and socializing, the right lighting can enhance the functionality and aesthetics of the space. Insufficient lighting can lead to dark corners, shadows on work surfaces, and an overall lackluster ambiance. On the other hand, strategically designed lighting solutions can optimize visibility, highlight key features, and set the mood for different occasions.

Natural Light: Harnessing the Power of Daylight

Natural light is a highly sought-after feature in any interior space, and the kitchen is no exception. Maximizing natural light sources through windows, skylights, or glass doors can introduce a sense of openness and airiness to the kitchen. Natural light not only brightens the space but also enhances the colors and textures of the materials used in the kitchen, creating a vibrant and inviting environment. Consider the orientation of your kitchen and explore ways to increase the influx of natural light for a cheerful and welcoming ambiance.

Layered Lighting: Creating Depth and Functionality

One of the key principles in effective kitchen lighting design is the concept of layered lighting. This approach involves combining different types of lighting—such as ambient, task, and accent lighting—to create a cohesive and versatile lighting scheme. Ambient lighting provides overall illumination, task lighting focuses on specific work areas like countertops and stovetops, and accent lighting adds visual interest and highlights design elements. By layering these lighting types, you can achieve optimal functionality while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your kitchen.

Practical Lighting Solutions for Kitchen Spaces

Under-Cabinet Lighting

Illuminate your countertops and workspace with under-cabinet lighting. LED strips or puck lights installed beneath upper cabinets can effectively brighten the area where food preparation takes place. Not only does under-cabinet lighting improve visibility for cooking tasks, but it also adds a subtle and stylish touch to the kitchen decor. Explore different color temperatures and dimming options to customize the ambiance based on your needs.

Pendant Lights: Stylish and Functional

Pendant lights are versatile fixtures that can serve both a functional and decorative purpose in the kitchen. Whether hung above a kitchen island, dining table, or breakfast bar, pendant lights can define zones within the kitchen and create visual interest. Choose pendant light designs that complement your kitchen style—from sleek and modern to rustic and industrial—and ensure that the scale and placement of the fixtures are appropriate for the space.

Dimmable Fixtures: Flexible Lighting Control

For ultimate control over the ambiance of your kitchen, consider incorporating dimmable fixtures into your lighting design. Dimmable lights allow you to adjust the brightness levels to suit different activities and moods throughout the day. From bright task lighting during meal preparation to soft ambient lighting for intimate dinners, dimmable fixtures offer versatility and flexibility in creating the desired atmosphere in your kitchen.

Statement Chandeliers: Adding Elegance and Charm

In larger kitchens or dining areas within the kitchen, a statement chandelier can serve as a focal point that enhances the overall design scheme. Whether you prefer a crystal chandelier for a touch of elegance or a modern chandelier for a contemporary aesthetic, the right fixture can elevate the style quotient of your kitchen. Select a chandelier that complements the scale of the space and coordinates with other design elements for a cohesive look.

Conclusion

In conclusion, lighting solutions play a pivotal role in shaping the ambiance and functionality of kitchen spaces. By integrating a mix of natural light, layered lighting schemes, and stylish fixtures like under-cabinet lighting, pendant lights, dimmable fixtures, and statement chandeliers, you can create a bright, inviting, and visually appealing kitchen that serves as the heart of your home. Experiment with different lighting techniques, consider the specific needs of your space, and enjoy the transformative power of well-designed lighting in your kitchen.

Cabinet Lights

Illuminate Your Space: The Ultimate Guide to Cabinet Lights

Introduction:

In the realm of interior design, every element plays a crucial role in shaping the ambiance and functionality of a space. While lighting is often seen as a functional necessity, it also serves as a powerful tool for enhancing the aesthetic appeal and mood of any room. One often overlooked aspect of lighting design is cabinet lighting. Often relegated to the shadows, cabinet lights are the unsung heroes that can transform a space from ordinary to extraordinary. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the world of cabinet lights, exploring their benefits, types, installation methods, and creative applications.

The Benefits of Cabinet Lights:

Cabinet lights offer a myriad of benefits that go beyond mere illumination. Firstly, they enhance visibility within cabinets, making it easier to locate items stored inside. Whether you're rummaging for spices in the kitchen or searching for documents in your home office, cabinet lights eliminate the frustration of fumbling in the dark.

Moreover, cabinet lights can elevate the aesthetic appeal of your space by adding depth and dimension to your cabinetry. Strategically placed lights can accentuate architectural details, highlight decorative objects, and create focal points within a room. Additionally, they contribute to a sense of warmth and coziness, especially in areas with limited natural light.

Types of Cabinet Lights:

When it comes to cabinet lighting, there is a diverse array of options to choose from, each suited to different purposes and design preferences. Under-cabinet lights are perhaps the most common type, installed beneath the upper cabinets to illuminate countertops and workspaces. These lights come in various forms, including LED strips, puck lights, and linear fixtures, offering flexibility in design and installation.

In-cabinet lights, on the other hand, are installed inside the cabinets themselves, providing illumination for the contents stored within. These lights are ideal for showcasing glassware, collectibles, or fine china, adding a touch of sophistication to your interior decor.

Another popular option is over-cabinet lighting, which is mounted on top of cabinets to wash the ceiling with light, creating a soft, ambient glow. This type of lighting can make a room feel more spacious and inviting, while also drawing attention to architectural details such as crown molding or tray ceilings.

Installation Methods:

Installing cabinet lights may seem like a daunting task, but with the right tools and techniques, it can be a straightforward process. For under-cabinet lights, the most common method involves mounting the fixtures directly onto the underside of the cabinets using adhesive strips or screws. Alternatively, some fixtures come with magnetic mounts for easy installation and repositioning.

In-cabinet lights typically require drilling holes for wiring, so it's essential to plan the layout carefully to avoid damaging the cabinet structure. Battery-operated options are available for those who prefer a wireless solution, although they may require more frequent battery replacements.

Over-cabinet lights can be installed using similar methods as under-cabinet lights, with the fixtures mounted on top of the cabinets facing upwards. For a more seamless look, recessed lighting fixtures can be installed directly into the cabinet tops, providing a clean and minimalist aesthetic.

Creative Applications:

The versatility of cabinet lights extends beyond traditional kitchen and bathroom settings, offering endless creative possibilities for illuminating various spaces within your home. In the living room, under-cabinet lights can be used to highlight a media console or display shelves, adding visual interest to the room's focal point.

In bedrooms, in-cabinet lights can turn ordinary closets into luxurious dressing areas, making it easier to select outfits and accessories. Over-cabinet lights can also be used in bedrooms to create a soft, ambient glow that promotes relaxation and restful sleep.

In home offices or study areas, under-cabinet lights can improve task lighting, reducing eye strain and enhancing productivity. Over-cabinet lights can be used to illuminate bookshelves or display cabinets, showcasing your favorite books or collectibles in style.

Conclusion:

Cabinet lights may be small in size, but they pack a powerful punch when it comes to enhancing the functionality and aesthetics of your space. From illuminating dark corners to accentuating architectural details, these versatile fixtures offer endless possibilities for creative expression. Whether you're renovating your kitchen, upgrading your bathroom, or simply looking to add a touch of ambiance to any room, cabinet lights are a worthy investment that will illuminate your space in more ways than one.

Chandeliers used to be a common option for lighting fixtures, but they are no more, despite the room’s wow impact. They encroach on space and necessitate ongoing care in smaller dwellings.

Ceiling Lighting

Direct ceiling mounting is used for the ceiling light fixtures.

How to choose the best Under Cabinet Lighting?

Brighten a kitchen counter and other workspaces with under cabinet lighting.

The 3 Types of Under Cabinet Lighting

1)Light Bars

Under cabinet light bars offer the most professional look, providing even, uniform light that’s perfect for kitchen tasks. They can also be linked together using connectors or linking cables, so that your entire lighting system can be operated on the same switch or dimmer.

2)Puck Lights

If you’re looking for a solution that provides a more focused “pool” of light all while adding both drama ambiance, then you should consider purchasing under cabinet puck lights. They’re also available in small battery-powered models that are a perfect DIY solution for use in pantries, cupboards, bookcases and closets.

3)Tape Lights

Tape lights, sometimes called strip or rope lights, are an affordable, easy-to-install option. They have a very shallow profile too, allowing them to fit in small spaces. Plus, many can be cut to size and simply adhered to the underside of cabinets, installed under a toe kick, or even used outdoors for decks.

3 Things to Consider with Under Cabinet Lighting

1)Size & Placement

First, make sure your lights are shallow enough to stay hidden behind the cabinet face. A simple measurement is all it takes to confirm the fixture will tuck neatly out of sight into the lip of the cabinet.

For best results, choose a finish that closely resembles your cabinets.

To ensure even lighting across the counter, use light bars that closely match the width of your cabinets.

If you’re using puck lights instead, place them 8-12″ apart for even light distribution, or space them out further to create pockets of light.

QUICK TIP: Mount fixtures close to the front of your cabinets to get the best possible distribution of light across the counter.

2)Power Source

Next, think about how you want to power your lighting: Plug-in or Direct Wire. Many product families are available in either.

Plug-In Under Cabinet Lights: These designs are easy to install. Simply place them, plug them in, and enjoy!

Direct Wire Under Cabinet Lights:  Hardwired into your home, direct wire offers a professional solution that can link all your lights together on a single switch or dimmer. However, direct wiring also requires some know-how – or the help of a licensed electrician – to install.

QUICK TIP: Use fixtures from the same brand and-or product family if you want to link multiple light bars or pucks on the same power source or switch.

3)Light Source

By far the most versatile, popular and practical choice is LED under cabinet lighting, but there are a number of other options available too, including fluorescent, xenon, and halogen.

LED lighting is also the most energy efficient and long-lasting. Moreover, because it emits very little heat when on, it is perfect for use under kitchen cabinets, where food may be stored.

Best of all, LED can produce a range of colors, from warm to cool.
