Lighting design for a long narrow room

[IamwhoIsayIam]

I'm planning a small extension which will make a 7 metre by 2.5 metre dining room. Glass doors along one side, small sofa and reading area one end and long dining table at the other.

I know lighting is important - but I have no idea how to choose lights or design a lay out. The only thing I know is that wall mounted lights won't be possible so it has to be pendant and free standing floor lamps.

Where is your go to for light design and lights?

We've just built similar. Putting LED's in the 2 roof lanterns above . We are going with floor lamps. Also a big picture on the wall that has LEDs in it highlighting a shiny sculpture (nicer than it sounds).

Going for a lot of shiny surfaces too to reflect light.

Lighting under cabinets too...

Spotlights (which I don't like but there's no real choice) above the dark bit where there's no roof light.

For lighting I like places like John Lewis and MADE.com

@Dinosauraddict - I have seen lights I like on John Lewis but I'm struggling to understand what type of light they will give - ie flood the room, concentrated in one area, leave black shadows above.

I know it sounds silly but I can visualise how the light fitting will look but not he actually lighting it will provide !
