When you think of the word ‘kitchen’, you probably imagine yourself cooking, baking, or washing up, but, if we think about the true essence of the kitchen, it is so much more than that. The kitchen is the main social hub of the home. Here, you share cooking or preparing food for important events with your closest circle. The kitchen is where you make blueberry pancakes for the grandchildren when they come to visit over the weekend. It is also the place where we learn how to disguise broccoli or Brussel sprouts so that the little and big people in our lives don’t realize they’re eating them. Ultimately, the kitchen is our nutritionist, speech therapist and family counselor all in one, the brain of the home, the CPU. For a room with such an important function, practicality is often placed ahead of design when they should be equally accounted for. When design and function are combined, a perfect balance is created which in turn sets the perfect atmosphere for living.

Toe kick lighting (also known as kitchen plinth lighting) with LED strip lights is a foolproof way of adding ambient light to your kitchen while accentuating tiles and other kitchen materials. Additionally, this lighting method adds a designer finish to any kitchen without having to make any other significant changes like painting or renovating. Toe kicker lighting is also helpful in illuminating the kitchen floor plan, ensuring that you never lose a rogue piece of apple again! Also, accidents happen in the kitchen, with toe kick led lighting, you’ll never have to wonder if you managed to sweep up all the remnants of that broken glass. It can also provide subtle illumination at night so you can grab a glass of water without stubbing your toe. This is a lighting design method that not only looks great but serves as a safety mechanism and, helps with kitchen cleanliness.

Dimming Options:

Dimmer wall switch - The LutronⓇ LED dimmers are the perfect dimming option for a classic kitchen. The benefit of this wall switch is that it can fit into a regular wall receptacle.

Single Color Touch Series Dimmer - For those tech-lovers amongst us, the Touch Series Dimmer can be used to turn on and dim the lights by gently tracing your finger along the ‘touch wheel’ of the remote to achieve the desired brightness as well as turn the lights on and off
