My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Lighting in the kitchen

10 years ago
Hi, my kitchen will be in similar white and grey tones: BM cloud white Cabinets and super white quartzite countertop. I am not sure what LED lights to use in spot lights: warmer like 3000k or whiter like 3500-4500. I don't want it to be to harsh but also afraid of a yellow tint on white and grey. Thank you!

    Hi Victoria - thanks for your question. Lighting in each space, in each room, in each home behaves so uniquely. My recommendation is to have your electrician install one of each light to review on site to see how each looks in your particular space. Good luck!

    HI Victoria, We are doing a super white island and Carrera quartz on the counters with white shaker cabs and a gray subway tile backsplash. Thinking an off white first cab colors, but wondering what your layout looks like and if finished, and photos or recommendations?
