Just posting here as well as Home Decor as it's a bit quiet
A relative is redoing their kitchen and I've been asked for input re. lighting
The previous owner installed recessed ceiling spotlights in my kitchen and I quite like them. I have eight in the ceiling and three under the worktop (separate switches, ceiling ones have a dimmer switch).
Are they considered naff? Are there better solutions? One of mine has blown and I haven't figured out how to change it yet
Relative currently has those silver bar spotlight things which look okay (a bit dated?) and do the job but they fancy a change. They also have under-cupboard worktop lighting (very useful) which they will change for spotlights like mine. Oh and an extractor hood light.
Their kitchen is long and narrow with units on one side only and a slim breakfast bar on the other side with folding bar stools. Large window above the breakfast bar and another at the bottom of the kitchen above the sink so not too gloomy during the day.
No islands or fancy dining arrangements to consider. They don't spend any time in there in the evening after cooking and cleaning up so under cabinet floor lighting etc. would be excessive.
Thanks!
