You can't have a lighting and electrical plan without having a furnishings plan. Lighting the center of a space, for example, makes no sense if there's nothing there! Did you give your designer a furnishings plan, or did your designer do one for your approval and use as the basis for a lighting and electrical plan?

The kitchen needs task lighting. If those are cans in the ceiling, they should be placed to line up with the edge of the counters. No pendants over the island?

A Furnishings plan? No he hasn't offered one. Is that just furniture placement? I guess I could ask him to place some on the plan but realistically theres only a few places for furniture to go. Example.. My kids bedrooms. Theres only two walls were we can place a bed. Thanks for letting me know I need one and I'll ask for it.

Turtlehollow- Thats what I was thinking for the kitchen. Moving the cans closer to the counter. I'm still undecided about pendant lighting. My island is 7' long. Should I use 2 or 3 separate pendants or 1 larger light like this one.

Your designer is from the "light the floor school" of lighting. Drop by a large lighting store and see if anyone will help you. They often have lighting designers on staff or they will recommend one. Your designer should have offered to do this with you.

The first thing to light is the walls.

Ceiling fans complicate lighting because they throw shadows and putting lights on the bottom of them is awful but the lighting consultant will know what to do.

One light shared by two sinks will put one side of your face in shadow.

Lighting in the kitchen should be focused on the counters rather than the back of your head.

Hanging lights over a kitchen island can obstruct the view of taller people so keep them high enough with good enclosures/shades to reduce glare or use recessed pin spots.

thanks a bunches! I will print the plan off and head out to a local lighting store and see what they have to say. Y'all have been really helpful!

I would guess it is required in your area to have hardwired & interconnected smoke detectors. Have your designer show those on their as well, I have seen electricians place them horribly when they do it in field.

It is common for smoke and CO detector locations to be required to be shown on a separate plan for the building department (or the owner) to submit to the fire department for approval. When the house has a security system that contractor will usually install the detectors.
