Bright, even LED lighting with door switches, motion sensors or dimmers, so every shelf is easy to read and nothing is lost in shadow.
A pantry without good light is a pantry that does not work. You cannot read labels, you cannot see the back shelf and you end up buying duplicates. Good lighting is one of the most affordable ways to make a pantry feel finished and easy to use. In Nashville homes, from older closets with a single dim bulb to new walk-ins with no fixtures at all, lighting is one of the most common and most rewarding upgrades.
We plan lighting to match the type of pantry. LED strips under shelves wash light down onto items. Puck lights suit display shelves, and a ceiling fixture or recessed light gives general illumination. Door switches turn lights on when you open the door, and motion sensors suit walk-ins. Dimmers and warm color temperatures create a pleasant look. Low-voltage plug-in systems need no electrician, and any line-voltage work is coordinated with a qualified electrician.
Strips along the front edge of each shelf shine onto items below, which removes shadows in the back.
A ceiling fixture gives overall light, and under-shelf strips give precise light where you read labels.
Door switches and motion sensors turn lights on and off for you, so a full armload of groceries is never a problem.
A warm white color temperature feels inviting and shows food in a natural, appetizing way.
