need light fixture ideas in my budget kitchen makeover

15 years ago

We are approaching the finish line of my budget kitchen makeover. I need to finish installing the backsplash then clean and do some reorganizing/decluttering.

My question is what to do about the current overhead light fixture. Leave it, swap it for something smaller, or a new one like? (ideas?)

I have a similar fixture but smaller which I removed to add the track lighting.

The fixture is needed for ambient light in the kitchen as the switch for the track and pendant lighting is not accessible from the entrance.

Fixture in question

Kitchen with new backsplash

Thanks to all the great suggestions in an earlier post, my kitchen is much improved!

We have a flushmount lamp that we fondly call it "the triangle" because of its shape. It is made by Bolivar and is available at several websites and your local lamp store can order it for you too. It's in our prep area and it is Title 24 compatible and gives lots of light to work by.

There are lots of lights similar to to this style and near flush mount that might work for you. I looked at lots of different lighting sites... croft and little, ylighting, brodwax all have lights at reasonable (and more!) prices that might work for you.

Have you also thought about doing a custom lampshade? Could be diy or artisan? Your kitchen has lots of great colors and shapes and a spot of color of up there would be neat, imo.

Have fun!

Earth pal, what is Title 24? I am not familiar with that.

I don't know what your budget is, but this one would look really cool I think. Rustic, copper and chunky.
