If we’ve heard something a million times, it is that kitchens don’t always have enough light. Lighting has a direct impact on your productivity in the kitchen and shouldn’t be just an afterthought. We believe that lighting under the cabinets is very important to any kitchen design.
Under-cabinet lighting can be used for three different reasons: safety, tasks and atmosphere. Let me explain:
You can get some light on food preparation with task lights underneath your cabinets. And also consider other task lighting options such as bright lights and rotatable fixtures.
The combination of dimmable, lower wattage or LED lights underneath cabinets is a great choice when it comes to safety. When combined with other lighting options, it compliments tasks like working with sharp objects and chopping. But when used on its own, it allows a safe path into the kitchen early in the morning or late at night. Never again will you wake up the entire household when looking for a late-night snack.
Under-cabinet lighting can also create a cosy mood in your kitchen. Whether you use it to slowly wake up in the morning while enjoying your first cup of coffee or for a romantic kid-free dinner, ambient light is essential in every kitchen.
The correct lighting and fixture options coupled with dimming abilities could help you tick all the boxes – safety, tasks and ambience. At Kitchen Frontiers, we’ll make sure to custom-fit your under cabinet lighting in your new kitchen, so you won’t have any weird parts dangling around.
