The Complete Guide to Under Cabinet Lighting

Today, the kitchen has to be multifunctional. Itâ‚¬s not only a place to prepare and eat food, but also a place to relax, a place to entertain, and a place to enjoy. It should be inviting, bright, functional, and easy to control. The right kitchen lighting will help you stay clean, organized, and safe, while letting you create the perfect atmosphere for an early morning baking frenzy, board games with the kids on a rainy afternoon, or spending a coupleâ‚¬s night in.

Most of all, light layering (having multiple light sources for different purposes) is the most important, all-encompassing rule in kitchen lighting design.
