I'll assume you are asking about puck shape LED lights. Those typically have a slightly focused output compared to other lamping so I'd say they need to be spaced a little closer than normal. But that is offset by the greater than normal distance from countertop to underside of upper cabinets; the greater the distance the beam travels, the larger the cone of light expands. However, LED lights, which I do love, have a lower lumen output. Pucks generally put out 200 lumens which is the rough equivalent of a 25w incandescent. So you may need more of them to give you the cumulative lumens needed for task lighting. Lighting layouts are tricky and always site specific. So with my lack of knowledge of you cabinet run and needs, take this with a grain of salt. I would space them 18" and antipicipate using more than initially planned. Phew!!! After all that, I much prefer STRIP style LED lighting for under cabinet lighting. There operate on 12v or 24v transformers, can be dimmed with a electronic dimmer switch and their lumen output is based on a linear foot measurement of the strip. 24v systems are better as they put out around 240 lumens per linear foot. The main advantage of these is the even output of light across the space. These are awesome when you're doing a whole kitchen because each short stretch can be daisy chained so they are all on one circuit. If you're doing one small area, stay with pucks. Hope this helps.

OK... but the wire wont be lower as it is fixed now. The wire in the pics below is the wall facing each other. They were leveled on equal height but the beam on one wall makes it seem a little above. But i think you guys are absolutely right that up and down lights wont look good there. I think you are right about down lights lessismoore. Would it look good if i go with two different lights on opposite walls??? it would look odd right.

HI RinaI do agree I love jewelbox rooms, but I consider them more cosy ... and with a grey marble floor it goes all Versace Italianate! I am trying to balance the colours by bringing in a pattern on the covers rather than plain. I feel this will bring colour without overpowering the room. In the pictures I showed above, the rooms are basically neutral but the colour is brought in via pattern - I think this might be the way to go...Ideally a green or blue on a subdued grey would be the best, but I dont know what the market is like for Sumit...Cushions can do a lot to tie in the other white/grey elements.Shelley - navy is a good suggestion, but as Sumits area is quite tall and thin, trying to keep the general area light Any more suggestions most welcome. These are just ideas after all and Sumit will choose what works for the room in the end ;-)

Hi. 1. Install hydraulics on existing shelving. But before installing that go for a washable paint. Kitchens get dirty daily and you can clean the inside easily. They will cost you less and you will have maximum space. 2. Install few rods to hang in your essentials. 3. Get a pantry section done. 4. Use vertical arrangements for cabinets so that your kitchen stuff stays inside giving a cool look on the outside. 5.If possible get a sink done in utility area so your kitchen is always tidy. 6. Try not to waste your space in the kitchen in case you have the utility area near to kitchen just by providing lpg storage in utility area. 7. Paint colours of walls, Tiles and laminates of cabinets/shutters should be contrasting each other to give a good look.
