Need help figuring out how much lighting to put in my kitchen

10 years ago

First off, here is my layout from IKEA's kitchen planner: http://imgur.com/nL3OShY (Yes, I know that cabinet at the top left is out of whack.) As you can see,
The blank area to the left is my dining room, so ignore that for this discussion. I'm trying to figure how many recessed lights to add, and what size they should be. I'm going to be putting some decorative pendant lights (haven't selected them yet) over the peninsula to the left so I'm not sure I'm going to want too many cans. I heard the rule of thumb was every 5 feet. What does the community think?
