Kitchen Lighting Help Needed

hace 5 años

I am at a loss as to what type of light to put in my kitchen! I know I want it to give off about the same amount of light as this one but I don’t like the look of this at all (came with the house and is broken). I was thinking maybe a semi-flush mount? I’m not set on the pendants, they were a quick fix shade swap from Lowe’s. Any and all suggestions/advice welcome! (Please pardon my un-styled and messy kitchen)

I would bring in an electrician and have can lights installed around the perimeter. If that’s not in the budget, you may want to look at track lights. They will give you better placement and the opportunity to light the corners. Think about under cabinet lights, also. The pendants seem a little dark as well, but don’t concern me as much, since it’s not in a work zone.

Why don’t you pick a chandelier and two pendant lights that matches there is plenty of designs that you can pick from and another advice try not to use ones with covers it seems like you need lots of lights

Hi Cristina, your table looks very beautiful however I discourage to have such furniture at home because of the mirrors. I work as a feng shui consultant and I know that the mirrors have some kind of power and one should be very carful placing them in the house. My personal opinion is to have a mirror in the place where the mirror can´t see you while you are resting or sleeping because in long term it can have negative influence on you. The mirror was created to look at it and it shouldn´t be used extensively also because of the reflections of the light. The human eye naturally is used to see the light coming from certain directions, if it comes from the direction which is not used to the light, especially artificial one, it may effect your vision or have negative influence on your mood. I'm talking about something very subtle which sometimes may be felt after some time. Another thing is that I always encourage people to don´t use repetitive patterns in the house just simple irregular forms and calm and worm colours which make the space more cozy and more natural. If you need more help with the rest of your house please let me know. I could make a 3d visualisation of your place to shaw the layout. Best \Marcin

House in la Olivella, Barcelona.

This tradicional 70's house, with great mountain views in Olivella, Barcelona, needed an extension to benefit from the main side terrace on a plot with an important slope. We were asked to develop a full-scale refurbishment of this detached house located in la Olivella, Barcelona. This quiet residential area is surrounded by large groups of mature pine trees that give shelter to the villas below. The house had a challenging interior configuration. The main intervention we proposed has been this glass extension at the ground floor of the house to allow for a larger kitchen and dining space inviting the light to fill its interior spaces. Its roof has become at the same time a terrace for the new larger master bedroom above. #moderninteriors #interiorarchitecture #interiors #moderndesign #interiordesign #architectureinterior #sitges #design #furniture #furnituredesign #architecture #barcelona #vilanovailageltru #castelldefels #olivella #rardoarchitects mas fotos

In this dissertation, we are warned that to renovate a house, so that everyone sarisfecho sits down, it is enough to make some partial feforms and maintain everything that contributes to the personality of the home. If we make such a total change, affecting everything previously existing, it is clear that our home, we cannot feel it easily like ours.

Pendant lights are a wonderful way to add accessories to your kitchen without occupying valuable space. Pendant lighting can transform the kitchen. While creating a cozy atmosphere you can use different colors, shapes of lamps and light intensity. We have collected interesting information about pendant lights in the new articlehere

IMO a track light with LED bulbs in daylight color so 3500- 5000k range will the br a much better choice than a pendant and give you a heck of a lot more light than you are getting from that fixture.Get some art on the wall and ditch the clock especially in a kitchen where you have clocks everywhere.Repacing the upper cabinet doors with frosted glass would make a huge difference too.

Yes, a semi-flush fixture would provide a lot of light from the center. You can use track lighting, starting from where the current pendants area, to illuminate the cabinets. Undercabinet lighting, hard wired or battery operated, will also help.

Beautiful Kitchen!

I agree that can lights along the perimeter would be a great option, with the addition of one centered flush-mount. Here are some great looking options from Schoolhouse Electric:

I would also install under-cabinet lighting.

Track lights that can be adjusted to wash the face of the cabinets and LED's under the upper cabinets to light the counter top. Notice how the pendants over the bar draw a line of shadow above with light below. I don't think you want that. Switch to glass pendants for more light and avoid Edison bulbs which cast a yellow tone.
