LEDs are a fantastic choice for any space, from cosy residential homes to busy offices. LED strip lights are versatile, easy-to-use LED products that are particularly suitable for accent lighting.
How You Can Creatively Use LED Strip Lights In Your Home Or Office
Versatility is a double-edged sword – it’s amazing to have so many possibilities, but it’s challenging to determine the best way to spruce up your home or office with LED strip lights.
So, here are ten innovative ideas to get you started:
1. Outline Picture Frames, Art And More. Cleverly installed LED strip lighting can make photos and art frames pop. Install strip lights around the backs of the edges of picture frames and canvases to add a ring of light, and choose appropriate colours to match the colours in the image or the surrounding decor.
LEDs can add a fresh, illuminated vibe to your favourite photos and art pieces. Create a lovely, relaxed atmosphere in any room of the house.
For your office, you can use strip lights to illuminate important signage for your business. Draw your guests’ attention to branding, ads and other informative images.
2. Backlight Monitors. Elevate your workspace, gaming room, entertainment area and any other room where you have monitors by backlighting them with LED strip lights. Place the lights around the back edges of your monitors, adding a pleasing glow.
3. Highlight Bookshelves And Display Shelves. Lighting up your shelves adds a fun, comforting ambience to your books or decor. Illuminate your bookshelves to make it easier to look through your book collection and highlight your favourite decor and collectibles by lining your display shelves with strip lights.
4. Outline Architectural Features. Use long LED strip lights to outline the architectural features of your home or office. You can line the corners of ceilings and floors to add a bit of futuristic beauty to parts of your space that may feel empty.
Consider using LED strip lights on your stairs. Outlining the stairs themselves can make them more visible, potentially stopping trips and falls. Plus, you can also highlight the handrails, encouraging people to stay safe as they walk.
5. Illuminate Wardrobes. Make your wardrobe feel utterly luxurious by installing LED strip lights. The LEDs will make it easier to see your clothes and add a sense of sophistication. Consider cool white or warm LEDs rather than colourful LEDs, so you can more accurately see the colour of your clothing and accessories.
This seemingly minor upgrade can streamline part of your morning routine, helping you choose a suitable outfit quickly every day.
6. Light Up Your Outdoors. LEDs are robust and durable enough that you can use them outside as well as inside. Use your LED strip lights to highlight your deck, seating area, dining area and the exterior architectural features of your home. These lights can really beautify your space at night, creating a cosy space that you can enjoy alone or with friends.
For your commercial space, LED strip lights can make your space stand out for all the right reasons. Use LED strip lights to highlight important features like signs and doorways.
7. Illuminate Pathways. Install LED striplights along the sides of pathways and hallways inside and outside of your home or office. Hallways can sometimes be challenging to decorate because there’s not a lot of space for furniture. So, install strip lights along the floor to add a decadent vibe to your walkways. These lights take up very little space, so they’re easy to fit nearly anywhere.
Outside, use your LED strip lights to outline walkways and garden paths. This lighting is especially helpful during the dark, helping people stay on the pathway while avoiding unseen obstacles. LED strip lights will add a subtle glow, creating a mesmerising atmosphere.
8. Outline Bathroom Cabinetry. Use strip lighting in your bathroom to create a lovely spa-like atmosphere. Highlight cabinets, mirrors, shelves and more to add a soft glow for relaxing moments.
9. Create A Feature Wall. Feature walls are perfect focal points for cosy living rooms and waiting rooms. Use concealed strip lighting to make your space feel sophisticated and artsy, and then finish your feature wall with art and decor.
10. Light Up Mirrors. Mirrors can be used practically and for decoration. Install bright, cool lighting around mirrors to improve visibility. This task lighting will make it easier to accurately see yourself when you shave, put on makeup, clean up, etc.
Mirrors are also popular for decor because they can make rooms feel more open and spacious. Add strip lights around the edges of your mirrors, in the same way you would with photos, to brighten your space even more.
