The problem

The problem

A north-facing kitchen with one small window read as grey and lifeless all day. The client wanted a dark, dramatic scheme without making the room feel like a cave, which meant the lighting plan had to be solved before a single cabinet was ordered.

  • North-facing room with limited natural light
  • Dark scheme risked flattening the space further
  • Original wiring supported only one ceiling circuit

Walkthrough & handover

We reviewed the finished work together and closed out every deficiency before final invoicing.

A dark kitchen that stays bright. Three separate lighting layers — ceiling, under-cabinet and toe-kick — carry the room through a grey winter afternoon, so the matte black cabinetry reads as deliberate rather than dim.

The electrical work was permitted, inspected and signed off, and the project closed on the original price with no change orders.

Questions about this project

Not when the lighting is layered. We added under-cabinet task lighting and dimmable ceiling circuits so the room reads as intentional rather than dim.

We specified a fingerprint-resistant matte finish on the doors and hardware, which wipes clean with a damp cloth.

Yes. The added lighting circuits were permitted, rough-inspected and signed off by the municipal inspector as part of the project.
