We’ve rounded up the best and brightest, and we’re pinning them all to our electric home dream board. Cue the techno music.
Open shelving took the design world by storm with it’s simplistic and clean lines. Adding LED lighting to floating shelves just seemed a logical choice, and we can’t deny its appeal. DIYing this look is easy using one of any variety of string lighting techniques available now, or, for those who prefer a fit to install look, a multitude of ready-made shelves with LED lighting options are up for grabs. LED lit shelves are perfect for a bar or nightclub, where they can highlight top shelf liquors, or can be an accent to china or kitchen implements in a home or awards and past hunting exploits in a man cave. Whatever your application, we’re sure LED lighting would definitely help out.
Under cabinet lighting has been all the rage since it’s inception, and we’re loving the look it gives even more traditional homes. LED lights stay cool, allowing you to not have to worry about overheating while working in your refreshed and more vibrant kitchen or desk space, or keeping your home or commercial theater perfectly chilled.
While many have been using under cabinet lighting for a while, one avante guarde place to put your LED lighting is the toekick. A lot of people choose a pop of color for this fun and unexpected accent, adding a lively air to the home or office setting. This packs a particular punch in a bar or restaurant, where customers will be delighted with the intriguing use of lighting.
Glass countertops or shelves can be backlit with LED lights, creating a lovely mystical look. The translucent glass can be any color, and will provide the perfect accent to any bathroom, kitchen, office, or even entertainment space.
Similar to glass countertops, some homes have now begun backlighting beautiful artisan glass backsplashes. This creates a focal point and makes your backsplash more than just utilitarian - it elevates it to being art. This can also be used in a restaurant, particularly in ones where the kitchen is open and displayed to the clientele, as an interesting design element.
