Has anyone got any tips on how to light a kitchen to create a great mood like the folks over at John Cullen? http://www.johncullenlighting.co.uk/projects/project-showcase/kitchen-lighting/
Our kitchen layout is like the attached.
The hob is on the peninsula at the left, the sink is in the middle by the window, and on the right are tall units. I've attached a 3D render from Live Interior 3D, however CAD lighting in these programs isn't great.
I was thinking about the following setup:
- Dining Table hanging light
- Downlighting Breakfast bar & hob lighting over the peninsula
- Under cabinet, under plinth lighting, and tall unit up lighting
- Downlighting over the sink/window area
- Downlighting over the tall units
- Room filing downlighting
- One downlight to shine on utility door
Has anyone got any suggestions, i'm worried its either going to be too much, or too little

Kitchen flooring: engineered wood into wood effect tiles or grey
Comments (10)I tested white porcelain with bright pink hair dye when I bought them for my kitchen and the dye just wiped off. In 7 years the white tiles have never stained. I've dropped a Le Crueset cast iron pan lid and the lid got damaged but not a mark on the tile. I've had some small chips at the edges when furniture has been moved over them but it is minimal damage and the furniture should have been lifted rather than scrapped across the floor. You can buy full bodied porcelain which where the colour of the tile is right throughout the whole tile and if you get chips, you should not see a variation in colour. I love porcelain and would not use ceramic after having it. The best place to go for it, is your local independent tile retailer, rather than the big stores like Topps and Tile Giant. Not all tilers are keen on fixing them it because they are harder to cut and drill than ceramics and they need diamond blades and bits which cost more. They are well worth the investment though....See Moreare there any really good wood effect kitchen countertops
Comments (2)Hello Tina, I wish I could see your posting earlier. Yes, we do 1:1 printings on a glass which looks exactly like wood, additionally you may want us to make it using matt paint, so it won't be shiny. Moreover, if you will request (free) quote for countertop and splashback combined, we will apply 25% discount for your order. Here are some examples of our work: Let me know if you like it so I will arrange a callback whenever you want :) Glad we can help....See Morewood slab kitchen, can I still have a wood effect floor?
Comments (7)It could work if the floor is much paler, as in the example below, but it’s tricky. I think a nice pale grey or pale beige floor would be less of a clash. Laminate comes in many styles, not just wood effect, so worth visiting some flooring stockists to have a look. Or how about LVT which is warmer underfoot and seems to be very popular?

Comments (0)Many of our customers choose shutters because of the long list of benefits they offer and the most notable of these is the appeal of achieving varying light levels through slat control. As shutters are a preferred window dressing for bedrooms and nurseries, light blockage levels when slats and panels are closed is an important consideration for many....See More
