talk to me about kitchen lighting?

[inamaymaybewrong]

We have 2 x track spot lights with 5 lamps on each track in our kitchen. We recently changed the bulbs from halogen to LED. The former was too bright and glarey and the latter are proving too dim. Can someone suggest an alternative please? I'd also like a nice floor lamp to
add mood lighting. Kitchen / diner is open plan, pitched roof, mid-oak cabinets, beige tile floor. Measures 16ft x 13ft. Faces north and has one large window and a set of French doors.

Oh and we only have base units, no wall units, so under cabinet / counter top lighting isn't an option.
