kitchen lighting for bare wall open plan

last year

Evening all. Wondering if anyone can suggest how to get some task lighting into these counters.
I only have light point dead centre on the left area and the 3 points on the right.
I had thought a big chandelier would do it.
However, once the cabinets were installed I see the top doors will limit the size of that lamp.
I had thought the 3 to the right would be downlights. There’s a beam so that won’t reach. Maybe lower lamps will help but they will cut the window view.
I can probably stretch that wiring closer to the countertop area but it would be costly to do anything on the walls for wall lights.
Many thanks in advance.

Hello !!

Here are some lighting ideas for your kitchen:

Spotlights are ideal for task lighting, as you can direct the beams where you need them, including into surfaces to highlight textures.

A line of pedants over an island or table is also an attractive option.

Low-level lighting under units makes them appear to float, while lighting above them creates a soft glow on the wall and ceiling. Lights can be recessed under cabinets to illuminate countertops, shelves and displays units can be backlit.

Here is a link with somo picture, Kitchen lights!

I hope this helps you out.

I agree with everything said so far. Would suggest you get built in book shelvers on both sides of fireplace, lift tv into a slot it fits perfectly into (make sure you have power on both sides). Then it will disappear more rather than fight with fireplace as focal point. I am always disappointed with mirrors over fireplaces, they become dark, are to high to reflect much. Plus then you have three rectangles fighting for center stage. I'd say very colorful artwork instead. Wonder if you can reorient tv where the big chairs are so both tv and fireplace are addressed? Color, maybe you should decide on furniture first?

Thanks for your comments. I think we've decided on wooden flooring throughout the open plan space but it's just what we do in living area. We had wanted carpet to get that warm cosy affect. We are considering under floor heating but I understand that can be expensive. I know we can put a rug down although I'm not sure whether that will have the desired warm and cosy feel. The other option is to fit carpet in a rectangle or circle shape in the living area. Just not sure how that's going to look and how best to join it to the wood so that it looks good. I've not seen open areas with carpet and tiles/wooden flooring...it seems that usually flooring is the same throughout with a rug in the living area. Any suggestions? I attach a plan which shows what it will hopefully look like. The dining table will go near to the patio doors. The sofa will be in an L shape with the back to the kitchen on one side and the other back to the dining area on the other side. Any flooring ideas would be appreciated!

Loads of options as you basically have a black canvas. I love a rich teal, or dark turquoise. You could also consider wine or pink, or indeed red, but careful of tones

A few things I would change from experience...instead of a single and double door I would spend the extra money and put in a bifold corner section...would open up the space so much more. as for the kitchen...completely flip your design...put your breakfast bar closer to the window...make it large and multipurpose with the hob in it and then put your main band of cabinets either left, right or behind? We have recently restructured our existing cabinets to this layout and put in new countertops and it works far better than before!
