  • I've had good results with the aluminium extrusions with diffusing caps for led strips.

    Are you painting with a roller? I've been nagging myself to use a roller more often, with acrylic paints and a small foam roller you can get a great finish. I got so used to painting with a brush it's become my go to.

  • I think I’m literally going to fit a 15mm mdf piece at the top of each box and then use led strip clips to fix them behind that.

    The leds will be shining into the box and won’t need diffusing as they’ll be plenty bright enough to avoid looking like individual lights.

    Definitely using a foam roller. Zinsser bin then Craig and Rose chalky emulsion.

  • Would probably use a C&R acrylic eggshell on shelves rather than emulsion. It's a lot more durable.

    I couldn't get on with led's without a diffuser. That's for bookshelves though, the spines seem to reflect the individual spots when I've tried.
