The things that go into fitting a kitchen - Part 1
Ever noticed these bits? They're called deco strips and they get fitted to the top and bottom of all your wall cupboards. They 're there so that you're not just looking at the bottom of the cupboard casing, which is often just a white shell, when you cupboard doors might be blue, pink, grey, green or any other of a myriad of colours. These strips hide that white shell, giving your wall cupboards much more visual appeal. They can also hide under cabinet lighting and associated wiring. As far as I'm concerned, under cabinet lighting is a must. Overhead lighting is a must too, but often we stand in between what we're working on and overhead lighting, casting a shadow on our worktop. Under cabinet lighting shines directly on our worktop, making it much easier to dish up with a flourish / open a tin of beans.
These deco strips come in long lengths and need to be cut to size to match your wall cabinets, and then fixed in place and to each other. And yet, they often go unnoticed. I thought they deserved some attention :)"
