If you feel like your home lacks natural light, don’t worry because we have a smart solution for you. LED light strips offer a versatile way to instantly enhance any room’s lighting and ambiance. LED light strips come in three versions – plug-in, solar, and battery-powered, so they can be installed nearly anywhere.
The light they cast is calming so you can place them anywhere in your home to create a perfect lightscape. If you want to place them outdoors, now you can because LED light steps also come in waterproof versions. So, with all that said, let’s see different ways to brighten and elevate your home with LED strips.
In the kitchen
Installing LED light strips in the kitchen is a great way to brighten up and modernize the space. Depending on what you need the lights for, you can use different LED tones – from warmer to cooler white and yellow tones.
In addition to kitchen ceilings, a great place for LED light strips in the kitchen is beneath the upper kitchen cabinets. Placing them here will provide you with more light when preparing meals on the countertops. On top of that, it has a decorative purpose as well.
LED light strips can also be installed under kitchen units. This will give your kitchen a facelift and a modern look. This extra light source will be great at night as you won’t have to stumble around to find your way.
In the bathroom
If an LED mirror is a bit too hefty for your wallet, don’t fret there are other solutions. You can easily modernize your bathroom with LED light strips. This type of lighting can be placed in numerous spots around your bathroom. The most common position of LED lighting strips in a bathroom is around or behind the mirror, under the vanity, in the ceiling coves, and underneath the cabinets.
But that’s not all, you can create a memorable and inviting experience in your bathroom by installing LED strip lights along the baseboards, in shower niches, and recessed shelves, outlining the shower, around the bathtub, and the toilet.
On the patios and decks
Elevate your outdoor gatherings by installing LED solar light strips on your deck or patio. The outdoor light strips can have a dual purpose. They can be both decorative and functional.
With solar LED light strips, you can show off your patio/deck and create an inviting atmosphere. You can place them along the banisters and railings, on the trims of your soffits, and along the steps of your patio/deck.
When you have guests over in the evening, these solar LED strip lights will provide just the right amount of illumination while creating an inviting atmosphere, especially if you choose warm white color temperatures. Just make sure you position the solar panel correctly so that it gets enough sun during the day.
In gardens and pools
You can use solar LED strip lights in your garden as well. At night your garden and pool area can be highlighted with good lighting. Emphasize your landscaping even at night with LED strips. But don’t neglect your pool and pool area. Install waterproof LED light strips in your pool and ensure the safety and ambiance in this area of your house.
In the living room
Your living room is your lounge room, a place where you spend most of your time relaxing, or a place you gather with your loved ones. That’s why this room deserves an additional cozy element that you can get with LED strip lights.
You can position your strip lighting in the overhead bulkheads, behind the TV, beneath shelves and cabinets, along baseboards, and other similar options. By placing the lighting strip strategically, you will create a special atmosphere in your living room. The lighting will modernize the space, add a subtle flair to the room, and light up the darkest corners.
In the bedroom
Personalize your bedroom with LED light strips. You might have seen people installing LED strips behind or around their headboards and underneath their beds. Placing them like this will create a perfect night light – especially in kids’ bedrooms.
But if you like the idea of winding down at night with the soft light, you too can install the strip behind your headboard. And if you have a walk-in closet in your bedroom, LED strips can be very useful there as well. Install the strips between the shelves and cabinets, ceiling, and along the baseboard of the closet.
In the game and entertainment rooms
There’s no better place for LED lighting strips than in game and entertainment rooms. These rooms deserve good lighting and LED strips are a great solution. You can use LED strip lighting under tables, inside cabinets, and along the ceiling trims. Behind TVs, as a wall decoration, and behind a couch – to give you a few ideas.
Light strips will transform your entertainment room and will add a touch of playfulness. Especially if you decide to play around with light colors.
On the stairways
Stairways are usually dark places that no one thinks about. But your stairway doesn’t have to be this sad. You can use LED light strips along the steps, or under handrails to add more glow to your staircase. The strips are easy to install, so you won’t have any trouble.
Also, the strips are sleek and minimal, so they won’t be in the way or a trip hazard. Especially if you install them on the riser part of the stairs.
In the Garage
For some people, garages are more than storage spaces. They are workshops, craft rooms, and places where they tinker. If your garage is more than just a garage, you know how important lighting is.
And that’s where LED light strips can come in handy. Ensure ample lighting in your garage by adding LED strip lights to the dimly lit areas. This helps prevent accidents and keeps you from misplacing tools.
LED light strips are extremely versatile
As you can see, LED light strips are extremely versatile. They can be used in every corner of your home – from your garden to your bedroom.
