OK. So, here's an overhead of my soon to be installed kitchen.

It's a small space. The kitchen itself is 8' X 12'. The pantry area, which is off to the right, is 10' X 4' although, due to entry door configuation, the cabinets can only be mounted in an area that is 5' X 4'. The ceiling in both areas is 7'6".

I've already picked out the cabinets (White Shaker panel), the countertops (Black Galaxy), the bachsplash (White 3X6 subway tile) and the floor (Black or dark grey slate.)

There will be under cabinet lighting although I don't know what type I'm looking at Xenon and Linear. If anyone has any experience with either I would appreciate your views.

Primarily I need help with the placement of the overhead recessed lights. I think that since the ceiling is so low that 3" would be best but if 4" would work better I might be inclined to go that way.

Any help will be appreciated.

I've also posted this in the Lighting Forum but thought that I might get some help here too.

Thanks.

Alan
