The kitchen is the heart of the home. But, where do people go once they’ve eaten, prepped lunches and have done the washing up? The living room can be described as the temple of the home, the place where people go to retreat from the world and reconnect with themselves or their family. Lighting is very important when it comes to living room design as it is important in creating a relaxing and homey environment. Also, lighting can be used to accentuate furniture and other aspects of the space that further emphasizes the calming nature of the room. A beautifully subtle way of combining lighting with living room interior design is via shelf lighting with LED strip lights.

LED strip lights are perfect for shelf lighting as they are linear, low-profile and easy to attach to the shelves (adhesive backing). This means that you can install the strip lights and not have to worry about them taking up too much space or detaching from the surface. Also, strip lights can provide excellent illumination despite their compact dimensions and can be dimmed to achieve the desired brightness. Shelf lighting with LED strips creates the perfect balance between design and function, achieving cozy lighting and illuminating treasured photographs, ornaments or books.

Here is what you will need if you want to replicate the look and feel of this kitchen:

Option 1: The ColorBright™ White Series LED Strip Lights in Warm White was used to illuminate the shelves in this living room. The strip is an accent lighting strip that provides an abundance of ambient light perfect for relaxing moments.

Option 2: If you’re wanting even more brightness, the UltraBright™ Design Series in Warm White will create the same cozy environment but with added brightness and intensity. This strip is for task lighting and much brighter than the ColorBright White series but can be dimmed with a LED dimmer if necessary. This strip would be perfect for a reading corner.
