QUICK- What lighting for our kitchen diner please?

[Aworryingtrend]

Sorry for ther double post but I am panicking!!!!

We are having walls knocked down today to make a kitchen diner and the builder/electrician needs to know tomorrow what type of lighting we want, eek!

I really can't decide between spot lights or:
lighting over the kitchen end, something like this:

this

and then pendant lights like these over the breakfast bar, but then what to put over the dining table at the other end?

Worried something like in my link is it a bit blah to go over the dinign table but owrried spotlights will look too industrial.

WWYD?

Sorry, other link didn't work, its:
something like this

I prefer pendants to spotlights

(have had both)

Spotlight bulbs seem to last 5 mins and are very expensive to keep re buying

in a rush so not seen link btw

not keen on link tbh

have you seen the long lights with ceramic shades .. they can look fab

No, havent seen those- not sure what they are?

I know, Im not keen on the links either thats the problem- i really want to find something I LOVE but everyhtign i find i just think 'blah'.

Would it be wierd to have different lighting in the kitchen to the dining room?

last house we had recessed spotlights in the kitchen area then a breakfast bar seperating the family area with lights a bit like the middle one though am sure ikea do a cheaper version

feck link doesn't work go into lighting
then pendants the lab ones (blown white glass)

zurr that confused me have somehow managed to answer on both threads

Thanks Royal, I am confusing myself with these two threads! Lots of helpful replies, just need to find the right ones now...

I will watch this thread with interest - I'm having the exact same thing done over the next few weeks. And out kitchen done at same time (cream Shaker with oak worktops and breakfast bar but going for more modern feel than traditional feel to the kitchen, hopefully!)

Here are the ones I've been looking at but am still in headless chicken mode at the moment!

Over breakfast bar:

Main part of kitchen (and have a few under counter spots)

Over dining room table:

Or something more funky...undecided (and will probably be too scared!)

Quite like this in the main kitchen but think it would be impractical and not give sufficient direct light.

BUgs I LOVE the one in your first link- the oceans one- that will look stunning over a breakfast bar. I love how the kitchen spot lights and dining room lights will really tie in together too.
