The holidays are my perfect excuse to infuse new elements into my home. Specifically, I pay attention to my kitchen design and the demand for more space during the holidays. White I try to create more space, I also want to try new décor opportunities, such as LED tape lights and under cabinet illumination.
This holiday season, design your kitchen with LED tape lights.
This year I’m looking at my home with an ‘evening room’ sensibility. Let’s face it, most grown-ups only get to enjoy their homes after the sun has set. So why not design those rooms we use every evening, like this kitchen from Home Bunch, with nighttime in mind.
Of course, a favorite way to enhance an evening room experience is with lighting and LED tape lights are a great way to easily achieve functional and ambient lighting.
Tape lights are extremely versatile for all situations.
Whether it’s to emphasize art, gently illuminate under cabinets, or add drama to a mantelpiece, tape lights are extremely versatile, and often times a little easier to install than traditional under cabinet lighting.
The main features of tape lighting are dimmability, installation requirements, and trimmability. Before you shop, let’s talk about the kinds of tape lights and a few more features to consider.
This flexible LED tape light kit comes in red, green, and blue.
Color
Why not add a burst of color to your décor this holiday season? If you are dreaming about relaxing on the couch with your family sipping hot chocolate and enjoying a fireplace, go ahead and add a bit of colorful lighting to the mantel.
Color lighting can change the look of your mantel décor and could be extremely festive with red lighting.
Control how the colors change on your tape lighting with a stick on puck light.
Control colors with a remote
Whether it’s for a holiday party and you’re adding under cabinet lights or along a bar top, color-changing lighting can add an element of fun. Plus a remote control allows you to easily change the colors on a lighting strip, which adds a bit of the unexpected fun for guests.
If it’s just a temporary light, look for peel-and-stick.
Add function and style to your living room with LED tape lights.
In-and-out tape lighting
Not all tape lighting is rated for outdoor use. So if your tape lighting feature isn’t permanent, having that added flexibility means that you can use that same light for your indoor holiday party and again on the 4th of July in your backyard.
And yes, tape lighting can be perfect to illuminate under a counter or bar top in that outdoor kitchen you’re dreaming about.
