Lighting

The addition of lighting to a space changes everything. The right lights can illuminate your clothing within a walk-in closet or accent a display in a bookshelf, entertainment center, or home office, adding both function and beauty to your home.

Closet Lighting

Wardrobe Lighting

Recessed in the shelf above your closet’s hanging pole, Horizontal Straight Ribbon Lighting illuminates your hanging clothes instead of the hangers. This helps with increased visibility and reduces shadows.

Wardrobe Lighting

You can also consider a Horizontal Shielded Straight Ribbon. This type of wardrobe lighting includes a shield that houses the LED light ribbon to minimize direct glare.

Wardrobe Lighting

If you’ve opted for round, metal hanging poles in your custom closet, consider Wardrobe Lighting where the hanging pole itself houses a ribbon light to illuminate the clothing hanging below. There are three pole finish options to choose from if you select this lighting detail.

Shoe Shelf Lighting

The first lighting option for shoe storage shelves is a Vertical Straight Ribbon. This lighting is recessed into the closet’s partition and creates a soft glow of vertical light while allowing the shelves to remain adjustable.

Shoe Shelf Lighting

Our second option for shoe shelf lighting is a Horizontal Straight Ribbon, which can be recessed under each slanted shoe shelf. This option creates increased visibility and reduces any shadows from upper shelves.

Vanity lighting

For custom closet vanities, we can add a Vertical Ribbon Light recessed into a partition with angled extrusions. This directs the light inward, creating excellent light distribution and visibility.

Shelf Lighting

Shelf Ribbon Lighting

Ribbon Lighting for shelves creates a bright, high-end look while also making it easier to see your items on display. This lighting option utilizes a milk lens that provides an even, diffused glow.

Shelf Ribbon Lighting

For shelving areas that need definition, our Shielded Ribbon Lighting is the perfect choice. The shield over the light minimizes glare and changes the direction of the light distribution, creating elegant illumination.

Shelf Puck Lighting

Standard Puck Lights, shown here with a black cover cap, transform any shelving area into an elegant display. These are a great option if you have statement-making items you’d like to showcase.

Shelf Puck Lighting

For a more modern, minimalist feel, consider our Standard or Micro Puck Lights, shown here with matte aluminum cover caps. These can be combined with other lighting options in the same system.

Glass Shelf Lighting

When it comes to glass shelves, our Glass Shelf Ribbon Light creates a mesmerizing, illuminated space. The light grips the back edge of the shelf and shines through the glass to the items below.

Glass Shelf Lighting

Our Metal Frame Glass Shelf Lighting, a popular selection for custom closets, is a great choice for items you want protected from dust but that you still want displayed in a glamourous way.

Accent Lighting

Drawer Lighting

Drawer Lighting is an excellent way to ensure you’re making the most of your functional drawer space while adding a touch of elegance. This lighting option is motion-activated to turn on when the drawer is opened.

Drawer Lighting

Along with motion activated Drawer Lighting, charging stations can also be installed inside drawer boxes, providing both light and power to your hidden spaces.

Drawer Lighting

For custom walk in closets with drawers dedicated to jewelry or accessories, we often recommend Drawer Lighting so you can easily see all of your smaller, more delicate items.

Toe Kick Lighting

Cool-toned Toe Kick Lighting creates a balanced look in your space from ceiling to floor, providing depth and visual interest to your custom system.

Up Lighting

Up Lighting is an easy and effective way to add ambient light to your custom system, like in bookshelves or a media center. The soft glow will create a relaxing, calm space.

Valance Lighting

Valance Lighting is an elevated way to bring light into your space. Typically these lights are recessed into an overhanging top cap or top shelf, as shown here.

Cubby Puck Lighting

An evenly spaced set of Puck Lights shining above your custom entertainment center is an effective way to bring light to higher spaces that are typically less visible.

Countertop Lighting

Custom accent lighting like our unique Chroma Lit Countertops is a highly personalized way to add a glow to any custom-designed space in your home. All our Chroma Lit Countertops are made with the colorful resin of your choice.

Murphy beds can create darker areas near the head of the bed due to the walls of the system. Because of this, Gooseneck Reading Lights make a smart accessory for these custom systems.
