In my opinion, I would use the recessed lighting and other layered lighting that is in your plan. I would not add a centered light. I think you will have a cleaner, more contemporary look without the additional light. I put recessed lighting in two kitchens and was extremely happy with the result. If you feel more light is needed, you could always add additional recessed lighting in center of the wider room.

I love the light that recessed lights cast but nothing wrong ceiling mounts. Guess it depends on style and what really speaks to you. In my case, a ceiling mount would have been "too much" with competing nearby kitchen pendants so I did recessed in that hallway space near the kitchen and then a ceiling fixture in the second-floor hallway.

In addition to hand-building copper and iron chandeliers, Bevolo also sells some vintage/new lighting pieces. We also offer a complementary design service and can scale out the proper size fixtures for your rooms, based on your ceiling heights and a photo of the room. For a 9' ceiling we'd typically recommend the 10'' Square Hanging or the 18'' French Quarter lantern, to name a few great options. Let us know if we can help you at all. Happy decorating! -Lindsey @ Bevolo

Ok I did a little more searching and came across this fixture linked below. It's very low profile, wondering anyones thoughts comparing this to the Tech Lighting? I would get the 22" and the light output looks to be the same as the Tech Lighting I do still lean to the Tech Lighting Vance thinking it may look a little better but just wanted a little more feedback before ordering https://www.lumens.com/geos-flushmount-wall-sconce-by-dweled-dwl693437.html?utm_medium=SocialShopping&sc_intid=dwl693437&utm_source=pinterest
