Lighting plan for dining area

Suzanne
3 years ago

Second guessing myself on the lighting plan for a new house under construction. The sole dining area is just off the kitchen. The kitchen has 6 can lights plus two pendants over the island. My current plan for the dining area is 4 can lights only, no chandelier.

My thinking is that a couple of nice pendant lights over the island would be enough “statement” lighting for the area, which isn’t that large. The kitchen + dining area is approximately 26’x12’. The dining area alone is 12’x12’.

Do you agree? Or would it be better, from an interior design standpoint, to add a chandelier anyway? It may be difficult to perfectly center a chandelier over the dining table.

The kitchen island is seen from the family room, but the dining area is not.
