Your kitchen looks great. i am curious about the under the counter Led Lights. How are they hooked up. I am working on a minor Kitchen Reno and this was also suggested to me but I do not know much about them or anyone who has them.

LED lighting is fantastic. Expensive upfront but overall better savings. My electricians installed it. It's installed under the cabinets (we added a light valance to hide the lighting) and then run on a separate switch which was installed on the back wall in the backsplash

Wall hooks could be an idea if you have the space! Although, apart from the storage space that's in both of the photos you've used, that would be a good solution when it comes to no space in your cute kitchen.

Hi yoyo188, that's a very detailed plan! Looks fine with me, except I have a concern regarding the dining area. (The following done with Houzz Sketch function!) Just wondering if some of the guests at the dining table might potentially be facing the shoe rack? Not sure which you prefer, but I'd either reposition the shoe rack or the dining table: Regarding the proximity of the dining table to the kitchen, I like referencing the following Houzz Tours: [https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-infusing-the-popular-scandi-theme-with-local-flavour-stsetivw-vs~84802854[(https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-infusing-the-popular-scandi-theme-with-local-flavour-stsetivw-vs~84802854) [https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-this-flats-defining-style-is-streamlined-and-cosy-stsetivw-vs~86080574[(https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-this-flats-defining-style-is-streamlined-and-cosy-stsetivw-vs~86080574) [https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-finally-a-scan-dustrial-home-that-is-different-stsetivw-vs~85725844[(https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-finally-a-scan-dustrial-home-that-is-different-stsetivw-vs~85725844) But that's just my opinion, let me know what you think?

Hi, I am currently renovating my kitchen. Pictures of my tiles are below. I love wood grain cabinets. However, i am at odds as to whether I should get wood grained or solid coloured laminates. My designer told me that I can only choose from Arova n Jennings brand. He does offer EDL as well. But I do not like the solid colours from any of these laminate companies. A solid black colour will leave finger print marks easily. And I think grey is going to make my kitchen look monochromatic which I feel might get boring overtime. Some advice is really needed.

Hi there, my suggestion is to create an opening between the kitchen and the living area. As a breakfast counter / casual sitting corner while the person is doing prep work. The hob can be placed behind the column (which can't be hacked). Even though it's small, it's still possible to have a fully equipped kitchen (ie oven, microwave and fridge) along with some storage space. Everything is in a whole row so that it will look seamless. I've attached a rough plan and some of our works for your understanding. Hope it helps.

How did you decide where to place the pot lights or is it based on where they can run the wire? i want to do this in my kitchen as well but I am not sure where they should go or do I leave that decision to the electrician. Thanks for the help

you normally put the "pot" lights to the left and to the right of every work surface, so one on either side of the sink, stove, prep area, etc...never directly over your head or you will be standing in your own shadow and never behind you, again because of shadows

The pot lights had to be run according to the joists. Unfortunately the ceiling was a mess and the electrician couldn't place the pot lights where I originally wanted them so we made it work with what we had to work with. Overall it looks great and the client is happy with the extra lighting since that was their original request.
