Open Kitchen Lighting and light placement suggestions

Jake Peters
6 years ago

Please critique my initial plan for recessed and pendant lighting layout for my 14 x 10ft kitchen.

I've tried to follow the recommendations for spacing (half of ceiling height, 3ft from walls) and location (directly above edge of countertops), but still feel that this needs a lot of work.

All wall cabinets will also have under-cab lighting.

Questions to get things

1) Do I need the larger 5/6" lights, or would all 4" be OK?

2) 2 or 3 pendant lights over 56x42inch island?

3) 2 lights over sink (in front of bay window)?

4) Ceilings are fairly low (92", 7ft 8inch), anything I should do to accommodate?

5) I'd like to have recessed lighting in the nearby living/dining area, should I plan all lights together?

Thanks,

Jake
