Special to this kitchen is the installation of under-cabinet lighting that illuminates not only the countertops but also the herringbone-patterned floor. In a dark moody kitchen like this one, you can guarantee that the blissful dark ambiance can stay all night long by simply turning on the cabinet lights and avoiding any overhead lighting. The fluorescent glow they cast is in stark contrast with the warmth of the yellow cylindrical pendant lights over the kitchen island.
