Lighting DIY Kitchens

How we transformed our kitchen using a smart strip light

3 years ago

Lighting plays a massive role in any home, so we were excited to unbox and install the Eve Light Strip in our kitchen, and to add another piece of HomeKit-enabled, smart home technology to our Victorian farmhouse that integrates with other devices.

The Eve Light Strip features 'triple-diode architecture', which means you can easily introduce rich warm or cool shades of just about any colour you want.

You can move the bed 50 cms off the wall and create a shelving but do NOT fill it with objects. Keep it symmetrical when decorating. Alternatively, you can make it open towards the window to store your linen or other items instead of leaving it exclusively as a shelving. Secondly, to make it cozier, I would re paint the walls in a warm color such as Burgundy and fit curtains in burgundy and gold colors in front of the window. The bottom wallpaper can be replaced with likewise design in silver/grey or black/gold (prominent color being the first one) Bed cover and pillows to blend with the wall and wallpaper colors you choose. That will make it cozier to start with. You will then need adequate light to compensate the dark colors. Ideally smaller lights spread evenly over the ceiling or square lights and two neat lamps on either side of the shelving over the bed. (Can also be fitted onto the wall - Set them out evenly) A nice rug just in front of your bed will give you more of a cozy ambient and give you more warmth to the room. The colors themselves will match your bed, then you can do without the basket in front of the bed. Last, set your room evenly. If you wish to use the painting you already have, move it by the bed and put up another one on the opposite wall and fit a mirror instead of the where you currently have your painting. Move the cupboard opposite the painting, opposite to where you will have your mirror and you have a perfectly symmetrical and cozy room.... I hope my ideas are of help to you. Feel free to contact me should you need anything or explanations... Liam

We used Oak to tie in with the table and chairs and wall units, the insides of the cabinets were also in Oak . Oak also provides a more solid looking strip of colour working around the kitchen.On the shelf the Oak almost appears to be floating because it's surrounded by the white .

Ha, my grandma used to have one of those metal soap rollers in her loo! I’m pretty sure it had yellow soap on it too. Hadn‘t noticed it before, Monica, possibly because it -unconsciously- looked ‘normal’ to me. 😊

Hi, That is very excessive. But currently builders are charging a premium due to the demand I am told by my architect. We are just about to commence our 3m rear extension which involved refurb of the current kitchen and dining as well (the wall between them is already down) but we will be putting in utility room and downstairs bathroom as well in the configuration with full width bifold on a box frame and underfloor heating. The build cost alone for this is about 50K (exc vat) and then we have factored in about 20-25k for finishing including kitchen. And this is in SW London. So my advise is to shop around and ask as many builders. We had quotes as high as 80k just for the build but the average ballpark was about 65.
