Here’s a simple way to add accent lighting in your kitchen, and the best part is you don’t even have to call an electrician.

For a nice, warm glow, just use two strands of LED battery-powered lights on top of the kitchen cabinets.

LEDs are inexpensive and you can purchase them at any home and garden center.

Just place one strand of LEDs along the wall and the other strand behind the crown molding.

And don’t worry — you won’t have to climb a ladder to turn them off and on. These are on a 6-hour timer, so they turn themselves on and off each evening.

Watch the video above for details.
