Ok, so I'm remodeling my little kitchen in my 1924 Craftsman house. I've decided I want to put smaller, tiffany like pendants in front of each of two windows on adjacent walls, one of which will be over the sink, the other over a counter in the corner next to the range. Over the stove, in the hood, will be a light(s) and I'll have undercounter lighting all the way between the two pendants. That leaves a shorter wall (includes a doorway) where the fridge will be and a new floor to ceiling cabinet where the chimney used to be. I'm going to do a beadboard ceiling to match a small stretch of beadboard along one wall. Can lighting is out, bc there isn't enough room in the ceiling, but even if there was, I'm trying to stay away from too modern anyway. My GC and plumber are trying to talk me into ceiling lighting of some sort, but I'm really reluctant. My problem is that corner where the floor to ceiling cabinet is, first of all, and just generally about ceiling fixture(s), given that the kitchen is so small. I hope I've painted a clear picture. If necessary, I can construct a visual floor plan - tomorrow. Right now, I've had enough wine to make that seem like too big a project. Any input is very much appreciated. Thx.

I like the wall sconce idea and you could also check out floor lamps that are sleek in design. If you're just wanting to light the corners and not have light for reading, then consider up-lights behind the sofa. I would choose either of the mentioned ideas over track lighting for a corner. Here is a link that might be useful:

Hello Tyler. Did you ever find out what the problem was here? We have something that looks almost identical. I felt them and they are extremely cold.

Emmy, not sure what the measurement has to do w/anything. I posted ideas that you could use to decorate the wall. (either art or a mirror) along with a few knick knacks on top or your console to even things out. you could also stack some books, maybe a tall vase w/twigs (if you can't use lamps) Try moving those orange flowers over by the front door, do the right corner where you have the little orange pot. Everything you currently have on that long console is too small. This is classic and very doable. find a piece of art that is 2/3rd's the size of your console. mount it just above the top. now bring in a neutral lamp for one side (prob your right side) stack some books, and some other neutral tones, or pick one color you like. I also like the rug in front of it. Remember, art or the mirror, do not hang it too high above the top. or how about something like this? mirror, art, leaning against the wall, lamp on the right, tall, thin plant on the left. (your orange pot/plant is too small and too low. ) see? you can do thin lamps on each side, a vase w/twigs, and a nice piece of art. (not as tall as this one) big round mirror, vase w/twigs, lamp on the right, books and some candles. maybe try something like this w/the hpottery around it literally a hundred diff ways you can style it. you like any of these? you see how narrow these are? now look at how theyre decorated These mirrors are too tall, but I like the vase/lamps and you could do a nice piece of art
