Pot lights or pendant over kitchen island
Comments (5)Hi Sophie: I love your honesty and direct style! I attached an older version of the design, many of the things you mentioned have been modified. I can attach the most recent version later this evening but the room itself does not change. I was able to find some older posts with information on recessed lighting. In one post you mentioned: Correctly placed recessed lighting is about 18” on Center from the adjacent wall. That is so that it washes light down the front of the cabinets and lights up the countertop and isn’t behind your head, casting shadows. In another post you mentioned the under cabinet lights should be installed at the front of the cabinets. I will use these guidelines to provide sufficient light for working on the perimeter counters. Is there a spacing guideline for the rest of the room? The center of the island will be approximately 5.5' from the first row of recessed lights (approx 7' from wall). Is this appropriate for the island? The same spacing will not work for the table, maybe a fixture is more appropriate there. Thanks again...See MoreKitchen renovation- Pendant light help!!
Comments (6)Why can't you match the metal to your hood? is that a copper tone? I can't see it very well. I don't like an oil rubbed bronze pendant at all. the other option if not a copper, would be a white like this PB Milk Glass pendant (you could choose your ORB for the metal portion) I really like this one: https://www.potterybarn.com/products/pb-classic-pendant-kit-milk-glass-hood-bulb/?pkey=cpendants&isx=0.0.2528 here's the SS option or what about something like these?...See MoreLighting over two islands?

Comments (17)I love your countertop slabs, they are stunning. Based on all the criticism I looked at your layout and I see a lot of positives. You have a sink for cleanup near the dishwasher drawers and stove, and a second sink for prep work. That sink is not far from the fridge, so you can grab an armload of produce and get right to work ... and as you work the kids who just want a drink or snack from the fridge can get it without coming into the work L. This isn't a studio apartment, it is meant to work for a large family and so yeah, you may need to take 2-3 more steps to get around but that is somewhat unavoidable. For lights ... maybe something like this if you want something bold that isn't adding a lot of color: Huddardton Forge Erlenmeyer Flask Pendant Just a thought. Congrats on the new house. Don't worry about the people here who enjoy shooting arrows of doubt and dismay without offering to help identify ways to improve things. Some people naturally look for flaws and love to point them out (instead of asking why something was designed this way vs that way). It can't be a fun way to live life....See MoreQuestion re positioning of pot lights and pendant lights.
Comments (2)It might seem like semantics, but there are no "rules" of spacing lights. It is based on fixture size, lumens, throw, and the use and design of the space. When you do enough of a design though, basic patterns start repeating for the same set of variables. For a proper lighting layout, I would suggest drawing the plan to scale. Use 1 square = 6" and show thickness of walls. It looks like you are adding lighting to an existing untouched kitchen. So soffits, stove hood/cab above, and cabinet above ref usually act as snags to think about....See MoreKitchen Tune-up Zeeland, Sales & Design
