Hide the Plugs and Lighting in Your Kitchen for More Space
If you’re thinking about doing some kitchen remodeling in Atlanta, we’ve got some ideas on how to find new space by hiding the plugs and lighting fixtures. Keeping down clutter is usually the most important point in kitchen design, and for this, it’s crucial to increase counter space.
To pick up some extra inches on your kitchen counter, power strips can be tucked under cabinets or under the lips of islands to provide power where it’s needed and eliminate tangled cords. Keeping the power outlets under cabinets also won’t allow wall plates to break up the backsplash area; therefore, if you’ve found a glass or metal tile pattern you really like, it won’t be interrupted with an outlet and cords, and it will be easier to clean.
Another excellent choice for kitchen remodeling in Atlanta is adding LED lights beneath the front edge of cabinets. There are a range of design choices, including linear lighting bars and individual pucks, and these lighting options are both discreet, functional, and stylish. There are LED lighting systems that plug into other outlets, and some that can be hard-wired to your home’s electric system.
A third way to make space in a kitchen remodel is with a backsplash storage system; these offer individual storage components, hung from a bar mounted to the backsplash. These can be moved and rearranged, and often come in sleek, European designs, to match your cutlery and spice racks.
