Primary Bath Design Guide

Bathroom lighting needs to work differently throughout the space, from clear, even illumination at the vanity, to low-level lighting at night, and wet-location lighting around showers and tubs. Saunas introduce another challenge, requiring fixtures designed for high-heat environments.

This guide explores how to layer bathroom lighting for vanities, toe-kicks, shower niches, baths and saunas, with practical approaches that support everyday tasks while creating a more relaxing environment.

Casework Design Guide

Good millwork lighting starts with understanding what you need to illuminate. Lighting for floating shelves and integrated casework may need to illuminate the shelf surface, highlight displayed objects, provide useful light below or accomplish more than one of these goals.

This guide explores how to light shelves, cabinets, closets and architectural millwork, including fixture placement and when one layer of linear lighting is enough versus when a second layer can improve visibility, highlight materials or add depth.

Cove & Curtain Design Guide

Indirect lighting can shape a space without putting the light source on display. Cove lighting can wash ceilings and walls with soft, even illumination, while curtain and wall pockets can highlight fabric, emphasize vertical surfaces and define architectural details.

This guide explores how to design cove and curtain lighting, including fixture placement and orientation for indirect glow, forward throw and grazing effects. See how different approaches can help create consistent illumination while minimizing unwanted shadows or visible light sources.

Kitchen Design Guide

Kitchen lighting has several jobs to do at once. It needs to provide useful task lighting for food prep and cooking while illuminating countertops, backsplashes, cabinets and the architectural details that define the space.

This guide explores how to layer kitchen lighting using under-cabinet, over-cabinet, cove and toe-kick lighting, with practical considerations for fixture placement and integration. See how different approaches can improve visibility, highlight materials and add depth without over lighting the room.
