Accent lighting is a powerful design element that can elevate the ambiance and functionality of any space. At Logo Electrical Services, we recently completed a custom accent lighting project that highlights how thoughtful lighting design can transform a kitchen into a warm, inviting, and practical area. In this blog, we’ll take you through the process, from concept to completion, showcasing how careful craftsmanship and attention to detail brought this project to life.

Understanding the Vision for Custom Accent Lighting

The homeowner wanted a lighting solution that would complement their kitchen’s existing colors and materials while providing seamless, glare-free illumination. The team aimed to eliminate dark spots and harsh reflections on the countertops and create a cozy yet functional atmosphere for cooking and entertaining.

During the consultation, we identified key areas where accent lighting could enhance the room’s design, including beneath the cabinets to illuminate the countertops. The team planned to integrate the lighting in a way that felt both natural and tailored to the space.

Designing Custom Accent Lighting

The design phase focused on achieving a perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality. Key steps included:

• Material Selection: We chose high-quality LED light strips for their energy efficiency and ability to provide warm, even illumination. The team carefully selected the light color to complement the kitchen’s neutral tones and reflective surfaces.

• Lighting Placement: Strategic placement of the lights ensured uniform coverage across the countertops, eliminating dark spots and shadows.

• Custom Integration: The team designed the lights to remain hidden from view when standing in the kitchen, creating a sleek, polished look without visible fixtures or wires.

Crafting and Installing the Custom Accent Lighting

The installation process was executed with precision and attention to detail. Here’s how it unfolded:

• Measuring and Preparing: The team carefully measured the dimensions of the cabinet undersides to ensure the lighting strips fit perfectly. The team prepared each section to accommodate the wiring without affecting the kitchen’s existing structure.

• Installing the LED Strips: The team meticulously installed the LED strips beneath the cabinets, ensuring they were completely hidden from view. Their placement provided consistent illumination across the countertops without creating glare or uneven light.

• Wiring Integration: The team routed all wiring through discreet channels, keeping it hidden and organized. This step required careful planning to maintain the seamless look while ensuring optimal safety and functionality.

• Testing and Adjustments: After installing the lights, the team tested them to confirm uniform brightness and color consistency. The team made minor adjustments to align the lighting perfectly and avoid any unevenness.

• Dimmer Switch Installation: The team added a dimmer switch to allow the homeowner to control the light intensity, offering flexibility for different tasks and moods.

The Final Reveal

The result was a stunning transformation. The custom accent lighting brought out the rich textures of the countertops and cabinetry, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The seamless design made the lighting feel like an integral part of the kitchen, enhancing its functionality without distracting from its aesthetics.

The homeowner was thrilled with the results, noting how the glare-free illumination made everyday tasks like cooking and reading recipes much easier. The dimmer functionality added versatility, allowing them to adjust the lighting for dinner parties or quiet evenings at home.
