Lighting Matters

Lighting can make such a difference in a kitchen. It’s not just about making it bright and easy to see, but also about creating a beautiful and cozy space. Pay attention to where you place the lights, so they can show off the best features of your cabinets and bring out their colour and texture. Experiment with different types of bulbs, from warm to cool, to see how they change the mood and feel of your kitchen. Having enough lighting makes it feel more welcoming and comfortable in the kitchen, and it also helps with daily tasks. It makes cleaning, and preparing meals easy and safe. By choosing the right lighting fixtures and putting them in the right places, you can turn your kitchen into a stunning and practical space.

How to Clean your Kitchen Cabinets

The main question I get asked after completing a Kitchen is; “How do I keep it clean without damaging it?”


I recommend dawn dish spray for easy cleaning of your kitchen cabinets and doors. Its gentle formula cuts through the grease and grime but does not damage or strip away the finish of your cabinets and doors, ensuring their longevity and beauty.


  1. Dampen a microfiber cloth with warm water and gently wipe the stained area.

  2. Spray some dish soap directly on the area and let it sit for a few seconds.

  3. Wipe off the dish soap with another damp microfiber cloth.

  4. Repeat the process if necessary.
