lighting a dining kitchen

5 years ago

Hi,

We are renovating an old farmhouse and have decided to have a kitchen predominately lit by recessed lighting except over one work surface which splits the room into two. It’s not an island.
The worktop will be somewhere to sit as we wanted a social kitchen and I would like 3 coloured glass pendant lights over it (not sure of colour yet but possibly smokey or blue) Opposite we have a “breakfast nook” and I want 1 pendant light above it. I quite like the ones you pull down just on a purely practical basis. I like industrial style but I’m unsure of what to put with glass pendants. I don’t want a mish mash obviously so they need to compliment. When looking it is very hard to see what works as either pictures have the same lights over both places or pictures don’t give you a good enough view of the lighting in both areas

So, basically you are looking for ideas for pendant lights that will go together: glass pendants for peninsula and a pendant (industrial style) for the dining area. Yes?

Hi we have just had a similar extension off our kitchen diner, our RSJ spanned across the original back wall, we had 8 warm white LED dimable down lighters. Have attached a few pics. Have yet to decide on kitchen lighting.

Because the tall units will be about 2.4m from the door I don’t think you have to worry about them being in your sight line…… but if you are worried you could of course put them on the opposite side of the room. However I always think that the usual 55cm chair seat height makes your eye line about kitchen cabinet height so you could feel a bit overshadowed by the kitchen island. In my opinion the solution is to put the kitchen at the dining end and then move the dining table towards the window. You might also consider dual purpose furniture- for instance instead of having a dining table and chairs plus a sitting area consider an upholstered dining bench that can be also be a daytime spot for coffee and reading the paper

I think they just need to complement either in terms of style, shape, colour or material
