Millwork Lighting: Horizontal
This classic millwork detail is the default for lighting bookshelves, kitchen cabinets, glassware, and more. Combine accent-level tape light (150 lm/ft) with a dimmer.
Front mounted:
Mount the light at the front of the upper shelf, aiming down. Either recess the light into the shelf, and/or build a small valence to conceal the light further and prevent glare. Leave grooves or slots for wire management for the wires leading into and/or out of the fixtures.

Rear mounted:
Positioning the light at the wall emphasizes the backsplash. This is primarily a decorative effect, yet still delivers light to the work surfaces. The channel should be embedded into the upper shelf, or even recessed further to create a small pocket between the backsplash and the cabinet.

Millwork Lighting: Upward
Highlighting the shelving contents from behind is an unusual detail that works particularly well with glass and other reflective items on display. For a subtle effect, use an accent-level light (150+ Lm/ft.).
Rear mounted facing up:
Recess the light into the rear of the shelf, aiming up. These backlit objects highlight the backsplash and limit the amount of light projected directly at the viewer.
