Top 5 Kitchen Cabinet Lighting Ideas

Having great kitchen cabinet lighting is crucial if you’re wanting to brighten your space. LED kitchen cabinet lighting is one of the most popular types of lighting fixtures to have in your home, providing excellent illumination and offering a smart, sleek look alongside your interior style.

Whether it’s to show off your cabinets, create better visibility or add some modern lighting to your home, cabinet lighting creates a great atmosphere. Powered by LED, our kitchen cabinet lights are durable, long-lasting and energy efficient compared to other regular, incandescent bulbs.

With an extensive list of benefits, LED kitchen cabinet lighting goes with all decor styles, enhancing your flooring, tiles and paint on the surrounding walls. If you’re interested in finding out our top five kitchen cabinet lighting ideas, continue reading.

 

Our Top Ideas for Kitchen Cabinet Lighting

Kitchen cabinet lighting can be integrated inside a cupboard, underneath your wall-mounted units or below your cabinets. There are many variants of kitchen cabinet lighting, and with the convenience of LED strip tape, you’ll be able to position our lighting wherever you want.

Compared to other lighting options, such as wall lights, recessed ceiling spotlights or lamps, LED strip lights that are used in your kitchen cast an even amount of illumination across your space, proving to be more practical than other commonly used light sources.

 

Open Units

Having open units in your kitchen can help open your space up and give the illusion that the area is bigger than it actually is. By having open cabinets, you’re not only able to open the surrounding space up, but you’re also able to showcase collections of china and kitchen accessories.

Although having open cabinets look great when they’re first installed, adding additional lighting can draw attention to the space - this allows the display to act as a focal point. Whether it’s glass-fronted or completely open, highlighting your shelf display can add character, depth and style.

Downlights are commonly used in open cabinets, and although they look great, they don’t always cast an even amount of light. If having an efficient, even amount of light is something that you want, we recommend looking at our range of LED strip lights for your cabinets on our website.

 

Under Island Lighting

If you have enough light coming from other areas of your kitchen, you might not want to add a big strip of light that’ll make your kitchen even brighter. With most kitchen designs having an island centred in the middle of their kitchen, we’ve found that they act as the perfect place to have LED lighting installed.

LED lighting strips are super easy to install, meaning it’s simple to have them placed underneath islands, bars or worktops. With an array of different colours available, you’ll be able to have free rein on what you want your lighting to look like.

Islands are one of the best places to have LED strip lights - not only does an island act as a social hub for family and friends, but it’s one of the first things that you see when you enter a kitchen. Having warm lighting in certain areas of your kitchen can provide a feeling of calm, warmth and cosiness.

 

Inside Kitchen Cabinets

Whether your cabinet doors have a frosted-glass front or are completely transparent, there's something about having a subtle glow of light coming from within your cabinets that ties everything together in your kitchen.

Whether you want to add lighting inside your cabinets for extra visibility, or you find the appearance visually pleasing, inside cabinet lighting creates a clean finish and an inviting environment, even when your main lights are switched off.

 

Under Cabinet

One of the most popular places where people have LED strips installed is under their cabinets. By having efficient lighting underneath your cabinets, the whole of your kitchen space lights up. Providing soft, ambient lighting means you’re able to see easier when you’re cooking, cleaning or preparing food.

Whether your kitchen is matt black, gloss, copper or wooden, under-cabinet lighting is sure to enhance the material of your kitchen, more so than any other style of lighting. Regardless of the length of your kitchen, adding strip lights will open up the floor space, giving the illusion that your kitchen is bigger than it actually is.

If you want to create a more radiant glow of light in your kitchen, we recommend opting for a warmer shade of light - warm white 3000k is a popular choice that many tend to go for.

 

Worktop Lighting

Similar to under-cabinet lighting, worktop lighting offers the same excellent amount of radiance, giving more focus directly to the worktops. If you need intense lighting in your worktop space, this style of lighting is the one to go for.

Not only does worktop lighting look great, but the illumination of light really focuses on the main areas of your kitchen - places where you’d be chopping, preparing and cooking food. In terms of convenience, worktop lighting is great.

Worktop lighting is bright, open and easiest to install. Because worktop lights sit high above the surface, they provide good-quality lighting, without being too intrusive.
