Most built-ins don't fail because of the material or the design. They fail because they only got one light source, and it's the one on the ceiling.
That single downlight is why your own head casts a shadow on the mirror right when you're trying to see your face. It's why open shelves look cluttered instead of styled. It's why you're chopping vegetables in your own shadow, or digging through a wardrobe with your phone flashlight.
None of that gets fixed after the fact. Under-shelf strips, headboard lighting, under-cabinet task lights, they all have to be planned before the built-in goes up, not added later.
